Thank you soo much for the detailed reply! You have cleared up a lot of questions in my mind. Importing seems like a lot of hassle! I don't believe my 2010 Toyota Camry would have FMVSS if your 2014 model didn't have it. I hope I am able to sell it off before my departure on 20th. I have listed in on Marketplace, Autotrader & kijiji. Any other suggestions?

I don't know why people wouldn't be biting on your ad but if they're not, lower the price I suppose. Your mileage (ha!) may vary but if I was a week away from leaving again I'd be very very motivated to unload my car even if I had to take a few hundred bucks hit on what I think it's worth based on book prices. Would have saved me my current situation but also the complete pain in the butt of the car dolly.

Congrats! 

 

Mine was also at 8:45, but unfortunately I can't give a similar happy update. 

 

I expected to be issued a 221(g) because I only had my medical done on Wednesday, but there were other issues as well. 

Officer asked the typical questions, but then he asked a series of somewhat unexpected ones: 

 

"Has your husband ever been turned away at the border?" "No"

"Has your husband ever had any issues with the border police?" "Noooo..."

"Not anything that happened this past year?" "Oh, yes. I didn't realize it was with the police. What happened was my husband had been living in Canada and was driving his truck back to the states this summer, as his study permit was about to expire. I was planning to fly down and meet him in the States. We didn't realize it was illegal to bring my stuff down before I would have my interview, and he got stopped at the border. As soon as we found out I cancelled my flights and didn't go down with him." 

"I understand. Your explanation makes sense. I'll just have to check into this." "Okay"

a few minutes of silence later, "So you weren't with your husband when this happened?" "No, I stayed here and was going to fly down."

 

"Hmm, that's strange." 

 

This is where I started to get nervous. It felt like he thought there was something else I wasn't telling him, or maybe the border police report had some different information. 

 

I'm really stressed out about this because honestly We had had another incident the previous year when we both drove up from Tennessee into Canada. I didn't bring it up because it only involved the Canadian border, and he didn't ask, but I'm so worried now that I should have said something because he will likely find out now. 

 

If anyone has any advice or words of wisdom, I'm all ears. I'm going to start looking into the Canadian immigration process now because honestly I think I will ultimately be refused.

Did they keep your passport?

Yes they did. I forgot to mention that. They also gave me a welcome to American letter. He also kept reassuring me that everything else looks good.

I think it should be fine then. They probably need to run more background checks. 

[CarolynAllan 24]

Got our IL - date is April 14!  DQ was Aug 11, 2020.  Been a long, long process for us, and now finally know when it will happen!  Thanks to all on here for the support and knowledge, been very reassuring to understand what happens at each step.
