@DrJanko10  @Danii @From_CAN_2_US 

 

Is it better to renew my driver's license from Alberta and have it "just incase"?

 

Would it benefit me at all to have it renewed (it expires soon, although I'd make it to a DMV to apply for an in state drivers license first)

 

Maybe renew it and keep it with my Canadian passport?

 

**I didnt recieve my passport back/Visa so I don't know if I'm approved or not but I'm just thinking for the future**

Do you know if the Texas DMV will reciprocate your DL? If they do they will need it to not be expired. If they don't reciprocate then it won't matter as they will make you redo all the tests.

ME!! I had a follow-up interview!!! So my first interview was weird, they completely skipped my number & was waiting for ages before I eventually went up to window 6. They then called me on the intercom. They were asking me about my work history and phone numbers and where I lived when I had said phone numbers, one in particular.  I was very confused and super flustered. Then I had the other two tiny interviews that everyone else has and I was issued the 221g for my medical not arriving on time.  2 weeks after that they requested all of my phone records, lease information and employment history from 2015. I provided everything except the cell phone information as I'd switched companies. Then 10 days after that they requested I fly all the way back to Montreal from Alberta which I did. The second interview was with 3 people, one of whom was a private investigator of some sort. I had to sign a paper saying I was being honest and it said something about a lawyer. The first thing the investigator said was, "don't worry you're not under arrest" I was like....#######?  I gave them my entire life story from the day I was born, all the jobs I'd ever worked at, all my previous relationships, all about my family, everything. They asked some very odd questions about my past relationships, if I was ever forced into anything I didn't want to do, ever told to make more money, if any of my exes wanted revenge on me... It was TERRIFYING. Then....at the very end, they asked if ever in 2015 was I ever involved in any illicit activities specifically of sexual nature. I was shocked. Turns out, the number I currently have was flagged as being on an escort website back in 2015. Thankfully I had another number at that time and had gone through old emails and had proof. After about an hour and a half of questioning and me answering,  they said they had no concerns and could see me and my husband were very happily married and  I was issued my visa 17 days later. I had no clue what was going on with having to go for a follow-up interview and never in my WILDEST thoughts did I EVER think that something like this would happen and I've never heard of anything like it.  I'm still a little bewildered by the whole experience but I'm so happy it's over. 

That is wild. I'm happy it was sorted out.

I am crazy checking CEAC almost every hour and nothing but one day it will show something different than “refused”.
