I am in US now,

and have been visiting regulary ever since we submitted the papers

I was denied once, and more than that was pregnant at the time, but they said if I want to come visit, I should bring proof that I have income, job and house in Canada.

So ever since we put toghether a folder with copies of our immigration papers and my house, my bank account, letter from my employer, letter from the hospital where I planned giving birth in Canada, all invoices from Rogers, Fido... or whatever you have... and as well a lease contract of the house where I intend to stay in US- my husband, where he works, letter from his work... all... big binder!

SO everytime they asked... we came up with the folder, when they seen it, they said, ok... did not evenlook at it...

One remark... we hwve been crossing by car, so we afford to be denied, brought more papers and come back... at niagra cross, is ok. I advice take the QEW till end- that is the best one.

I put this just for the record - for other ppl as well.

Take care... I am waiting as well...

I was however pulled aside and "felt up" by a female security officer.. yes, not so nice..

She was very thorough on my top half.

So I went down to CA, last thursday, had lots of docs with me, they just asked me where I was going and if I had any family in USA, I told them my wife, then they asked me where I live, I told them Vancouver, she said have a good trip, and that was it.

I have to travel to US again next week but this time is for work.
