Land Border - Western Canada

[FERDICAN 0]

I want to know if anyone has crossed the US-Canada land border by driving in western Canada, ie  British Columbia and Alberta for green card (I-551) processing  and how was the experience like?

 

Also as some of the US CBP is located in inside the Canadian airports  how was the experience like if anyone has done that?

 

Thanks

Do you mean crossing back in to Canada with a green card once you’ve received it, or do you mean entering the US from Canada for the first time on your immigrant visa? 

 

If you could fill your timeline in it would be helpful.

We went through Coutts/Sweetgrass and it was no issue.  Truck, Uhaul trailer and a dog.  Stopped and told the CBP officer that we needed to activate our visas, passed him the paperwork for the trailer and the dog.  He asked us to roll down the window to see the dog.  He passed back our paperwork, asked us to pull around the building to park and come in.  We went in, the agents had our passports (x3).  The one agent hadn't activated a visa so another agent had to show her were the documents in the repository were.  Stamped, told "welcome to America" and "welcome home!" to hubs and sent on our way.  10 to 15 minutes spent inside before we were on our way again.
