Hi,

Do you think it would be weird or risky to visit Canada (driving across border) two days before AOS interview with valid AP for an overnight visit?

What are your thoughts?

Vox

If you've got valid AP then it shouldn't be a problem getting back. I'd generally be more concerned about other things popping up in the way, like a long border crossing lineup or not being able to get back in time. But I'm a bit of a worrier. :P

If you do end up going, have fun, snag a Tim Horton's coffee along the way! :D

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

Here we go again...

Removal of conditions @ VSC

9/4/2010 - sent!

9/14/2010 - NOA

Like Nini and Bee said, I'd be more worried about something keeping me from getting back on time.

Car trouble, drinking too much and being tossed in jail, ummmmmmmmmmm :lol:

But the same stuff could happen to you right at home too. :blink:

It is my best friend's B-Day on Tuesday night and my AOS interview is on Thursday at 2 PM. I was thinking about driving up back home on Tuesday (1 and 1/2 hours drive), getting drunk on Tuesday night and coming back on Wednesday night.

I'm a Canadian and I've got valid multiple entry AP.

It's ultimately up to you. Do take the other posters advice about potential issues that could crop up causing delays in returning back to the States for your interview. Best wishes!

Given the schedule...if it were me there's not a chance in hell that I would risk it. You're leaving yourself what...a 12 hour margin of error? Friends have birthdays every year...how many times in your life do you have an interview scheduled that quite literally will determine the course of your life? I wouldn't be too worried about the AP....but rather car trouble or other unforeseen incidents which could delay you to the point that you missed your appointment. Just my $0.02, but after having gone through the whole immigration process starting with K-1, personally I couldn't even *begin* to think of purposely doing *anything* that could *possibly* jeopardize it, no matter how minuscule the chances. And as someone's friend, I would kick their ### if they took such a risk just to attend my birthday party. But again, that's just me.
