Not sure exactly where but I read that it's harder to cross POE without your spouse there? Is this true? My wife will not be able to cross with me as she works and is using up all her vacation time (She only got 4 days) to come with me to the interview and everything is already booked non-refundable.

Or am I just being paranoid? I mean it has to be common that the beneficiary travels alone at POE cause of work and life right? Also you got approved to live in the US so...they really have no true reason to deny you unless you know, robbed a bank between being approved and POE haha!

If it is harder, what should I do and bring?

If it helps I'll most likely doing POE at the Toronto International Airport (Possibly London Ontario but I'm not sure they actually accept POE there?)

Thanks! I've read the reviews but I see all of it with their spouse crossing or unspecified?
