Hi everyone, I just wanted all to know that my kids and I activated the visas.We are here in Idaho for the week so We can start are AOS and work papers. We crossed at Emerson North Dakota, Everyone was great there considering they hadn't done a k3/k4 visa in 2 or 3 years.The whole thing took an hour due to interuptions, plus all the border employeees had to come take a peek at the paperwork. They teased the kids about learning American so my daughter says now we have to say "ah" instead of "eh". I thought the guy was going to pee himself.So once paperwork was done my picture and finger prints also. We got a big Welcome To America from them all.Well I better get going here i need to go buy a new printer so i can get paper work done and then go buy a new dryer Yipee. Have a great day everyone.

Congrats!

Since you're also a K3, feel free to check out my AOS/EAD checklist that I linked in my signature. Some of the things weren't required I'm sure but I threw it in anyway. I haven't received my NOA1 yet but should be any day now. Hopefully no RFEs either!

Welcome to the K3 AOS & EAD waiting list! :)

Glad all turned out well.

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
