Congrats!!

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

Rach and I had the honor of meeting him there, he was first in line before us. Great guy! glad to have met him. What a relief when he walked out the tourcher chamber with a big "Thumbs Up". I think he might have been WAY on cloud 9 about then, as the elevator had a good battle of the wits with him on the way out! Btw, you started a trend for the day, every one of us signaled a thumbs up on the way out of the interview room from there on.

Huge congratz!
