Ok VJ'ers I have a question and maybe someone can steer me in the right direction. After visa is in hand, my husband and I plan to drive a UHAUL from Canada to FL. I will fly to Canada and drive back with my hubby to our place. I am hearing mixed things so I just want to make sure our POE is smooth as possible.

My husband will not be moving any furniture, just personal belongings (clothes, books, CDs etc). Since we will be the ones moving, do we just have to have a itemized list of things in the UHAUL or do we need to fill out a 3299 form? I am pretty sure that form is just for moving companies, when you won't be present with your belongings.

Also he will be bringing his cat, so do we just need to have his pet's up to date vaccination records or are they any specific forms for pets?

Do we need anything else besides the listed items above and our visa packet, border fee and passports? Thank you!! :)

I'm waiting for my husband to call me to tell me how it went at the interview. Last I heard from him was an hour an a half ago. In Juarez it takes maximum 2 hours and a half from entering to exiting the consulate.

I'm so I nervous drinking my coffee staring at my work computer... I haven't even done anything -_-

My husband got approved!!! Interview went flawless they asked him:

when did we get married?

How did we meet?

Where does yours wife work and what does she do?
