I have a I-130 and I-129f pending and my son and I just arrived last night in Texas from Canada. In Ottawa, you actually clear US Customs & Immigration at Ottawa Airport.

The officer asked us where we were going (Dallas) who we were visiting (my husband)... and he said "have a great visit" and that was it!

I did have (just in case) .. a letter from employer wih an expected return date, my most current mortgage statement, a copy of the 2 NOA1s ...

My husband has dual citizenship with Canada and the US. He was born in the US but has lived in Canada for 30 years. We've been married for quite awhile. We have a 15 year old son.

you might want to fly from Edmonton to a US city, and then connect to Abany. that way you'll clear US Customs right there, and if you're denied entry you can just drive home, rather than have to get back on a plane if you go through Toronto.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

Reba makes a good point!!! Best of luck

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
