Hi Everyone!  My interview was Monday and I got my visa Friday!  This is pretty incredible because I live on the west coast:)  Thinking of you all!

Officially an LPR! Crossed yesterday at Port Huron and it was seamlessly easy. Went in and took all of 10 minutes before my passport was stamped and I was on our way. Border officers were so considerate and let my husband stay in the car with our baby while I went inside.

Good luck to everyone with interviews this coming week. ☺️🙏🏽 Every new week brings us all one step closer to the finish line. 
 

Side note, my husband and I will be traveling back to Canada in 2 weeks. I’ll be going with him. Anyone here that’s a US Citizen have any trouble getting into Canada (by air) to be with their spouse? We are traveling together and will take our marriage certificate and proof of relationship. Hopefully, it’ll be easy and I’ll be allowed entry as the spouse of a Canadian resident. 
 

We’ll wait patiently for an interview date in Canada...Hoping we’re done with process by December 🙏🏽

It is smooth sailing if you have a marriage certificate, a copy of CDN Citizen's passport and a solid quarantine plan. I recommend having a copy of the CDN passport for the USC to carry with them, in case you have to separate at customs within the airport.

Questions for those who have interviewed: would you say that the officers ask you simple questions to confirm some information (where you met, what your spouse does for a living, etc.) or more so questions to test you? English is not my first language and I'm worried I'll get nervous and say something wrong - even if we've known each other a long time and our relationship is of course legit.
