Michael was approved this morning!! He said it was very easy! He had a nice male consular officer, and not really any issues :)

I will try to get a review out of him later, but he basically just treated the security downstairs like he would a border guard - speak when spoken to, and he was fine (I warned him to stay seated in his chair!)

Thanks for all the support everyone! Good luck Cutienpurg!

Congrtas!!

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
