Snowed??? Where are ya?

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

As it relates to the adjudication of the I-129F, the USCIS is indifferent to country of origin and quantity of children....

YMMV

It seems that our timelines are very similar and there are no children involved in our petition.

We are still waiting (impatiently) for our NOA2. It's taking forever! :unsure:

04/26/07: I-129f Paperwork sent to TSC - later transferred to CSC

05/03/07: Packet Received by CSC

05/08/07: NOA1

05/10/07: Touched

09/21/07: NOA2

09/24/07: Received NOA2 email yay!

09/26/07: Received NOA2 via USPS

11/24/07: Received Packet 3 from Vancouver - Was sent to wrong address which delayed it by a week.

12/19/07: Interview Date!!!
