I cross over the buffalo border last week on Friday by driving, my hubby was with me; all I was ask where I am going and who is he to me ??? she then ask if I was crossing with my son because she didn't at his passport she was looking at mine while asking the question and then when she look at his passport she start laughing and saying I am so sorry I just saw him in the car but didn't look at his passport and then she said I know see that you guys are same age.

Then she said who is doing the moving, I responded I am moving to New York, Did you guys petition???? I said yes I have the letter would you like to see, she said no, have a nice trip and safe trip.

Very nice and pleasant !!!!!

i recommend nexus....its a breeze by land or air. its super quick and very few questions when travelling by land and absolutely none by air. saves you time too, as there are usually no cars or people in line.

best $50 i ever spent.

I did not have a lot of stuff. She asked me if I had applied for a visa. When I responded yes, she wanted to see any paper work regarding it. I showed her the noa1. She then said I was not a visitor and had no rights as a visitor because my intentions are to immigrate. She spoke with her boss and he issued the I-94. And stamped the passport paroled. My question if any one know i, if you do get rejected does it show up on the screen and does that prompt them to reject you again?? Is it better to offer your proof or wait to see if they ask? I would have thought that going the legal visa route would have seemed to be in my favour but no it was the opposite.

Do you still have a job in Canada? I was probably over prepared when we started this whole process but we had met with several lawyers and talked to a few people and they had some good suggestions. I always get my boss to sign a letter on company letter head saying that I have a permanent full time position there and that I am just on holidays or days off and that I am expected to be back to work on a specific date. I have never had to use that letter but I always get one just in case. Quite often I travel down without my children and twice they have asked me if I intend to stay in the states to which I truly reply no because I have to come back to care for my children and work at my job. That seems to be plenty to satisfy them of my intentions to visit only. I don't know if that would help you but it might not hurt to have that in hand when you try next time to cross. Sadly I think you really just got someone on a bad day, most these guys know that visiting is normal and if you are going through the hassle of doing all this paperwork to do it legally that you are not a risk for staying down there

I hear ya! We drive 4 hours to Great Falls to fly another 4 hours. And then a 2 hour drive on the other end LOL. I drove the 22 or 24 hours once and that was enough. DId it with two toddlers and almost pulled out my hair. Worth it,definitely, but yeah we only fly now.

I have it easy, my trip is 2 hours max so we see each other every weekend. Sometimes we can meet halfway for dinner. I remind myself of that fact when I might compare our condition to others.

Oh wow, that is great that you guys are so close. We try to have 3-5 days together every month but we both have pretty hectic schedules so it gets hard but it will all be worth it;) Our romantic getaways/weekends are usually Billings, MT LOL which is probably not considered a romantic getaway for anyone else but its half way between us so it works.

What Billings not Romantic?

you are less than an hour from Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument ,the site of Custer's famous 'last stand'. Nothing says date night like visting a battlefield.

We've done Kalispell, Billings and Missoula. We're planning retirement in Montana. It's my favourite state, outside of Maine.
