Ever since I got my NOA2 I've had a very difficult time visiting my fiance. [...] I visit the USA about 3-4 times per month for a few days at a time, so that's quite a bit. 

However even though I have been interrogated every time I try to cross after I received my NOA2, I haven't been denied entry yet.  But now whenever I try, I dread it, even with proper documentation. It's been quite a hassle actually. 

Be happy you get to visit so much. Honestly you're almost done! 

So cheers on the end in sight!

You're absolutely correct, I should be more thankful. Seems like most people go months and months without seeing their fiance.

Ever since I got my NOA2 I've had a very difficult time visiting my fiance. We live about 150km away in towns that are close to the border, but ever since I got my NOA2 I have been unable to cross the border without being pulled into secondary inspection. They even searched my car last time. I have been crossing the border a LOT since I met my fiance because we live so close and I even have a Nexus card. I have been brought to secondary inspection after showing the guard my NOA2, interview date, return ticket (if I'm traveling by sea), and a letter from my employer. Who knows, maybe I have been flagged by a border guard at some point. They can tell I have a pending K1 visa on their screen whenever I present my passport or Nexus card. I visit the USA about 3-4 times per month for a few days at a time, so that's quite a bit. 

However even though I have been interrogated every time I try to cross after I received my NOA2, I haven't been denied entry yet.  But now whenever I try, I dread it, even with proper documentation. It's been quite a hassle actually. 

Very interesting to see both perspectives from by sea and by car. Anyone have post NOA2 experience while traveling by air??

would you mind if i ask, how much? 

 

he's my doctor too! since it's close to where i live. lol

 

[Kim & Zak 195]

Oh man it was expensive.. like $260 for the appointment itself and then $70 for the xray and $40 for the blood work or so? Im having trouble finding the exact amount but that's around how much it was, and according to my fiance, the actual medical part with Zatzman was all just verbal questions and it went by pretty quick! Can't decide if I'm angry or pleased by that yet considering the cost of the appointment, haha 

 

Don't forget to bring a print out of your packet 4 letter, 4 passport photos, and your vaccinations records as well.. I think that's all the additional stuff you need, but it should be on his site too

Not too sure honestly, I've seen that it's good for a year, but I can't find a straight answer anywhere. I wouldn't push it out more than 3-4 months, though, and yes, we got one! June 6th  

 

Glad to see everything is moving along!

Oh you're fine! And might as well, you'll need a set of passport photos for the interview, so if you don't use them at the medical, they can be used there

[KAF 56]

Yay so we have packet 4 now. So my fiance had a previous account at the https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-CA/iv/information/contact_us because she applied for a tourist visa before.

 

where do you get an interview from? What website? 

[NikLR 13,227]
