IR1 / CR1 - Montreal Timeline to Interview

[NBtoPitt 2]

Can I open the DHL envelope, or not even that one? It's so tempting... sitting there all closed and mysterious...

Sigh. Lol.

[NBtoPitt 2]

Nevermind, I just went ahead and crossed today. POE was nice and smooth in Calais, ME. And it only took about ten mins

Nice! My interview was last Monday, and my passport arrived in Calgary on Thursday. I opened the DHL envelope to get out my passport but have tucked away the big envelope with the gigantic "DO NOT OPEN" on it.

Awesome congrats!! We were going to POE today but I had an accident on the way up with the truck/trailer that I borrowed to help move all of his things. It's a long dramatic and tiring story, but I'm ok. Going to try again with a different truck tomorrow (pretty much wrecked the front end of the one I borrowed >.< ). Hopefully we'll get better results this time.

Oh no! Sorry to hear

I hope tomorrow goes better for you. And I hope they're as nice and laid-back as they were with me! Now that we're through all the immigration stuff, life feels a little surreal. Almost like - "did we really spend a whole year on that?", haha.

My poe was really easy a few months ago although yours seems much faster.

I still feel like life is a little surreal lol One day it wont I hope

I definitely think it'll feel like that. It almost does already. That after all this time.. we're finally together and I don't have to travel anymore. lol I hope our POE goes well. I'd say the majority of the border guards are familiar with me because I've been going across the border almost every weekend for over 2.5 years. I'm sure it'll go better tomorrow. I have to drop off this rental car that I used to get back home and then meet up with another truck that with grab the trailer and try again. The truck I wrecked is in update Vermont until we can contact the insurance agent who of course is not in the office on the weekends. lol

yes we made it! We didn't get in until around 11 or so, I was completely exhausted. I had to drive back up with my dad and return the rental car that we used to get home after the failed POE. Then we had to meet up with someone else with a truck and pickup the trailer that thankfully didn't get banged up in the crash.

Everything went almost ok. POE at Highgate Springs, VT. The guy at the border acted like a complete jerk. We went inside and the guy there was great. The only problem we had, was that my husband ENSURED ME that he had the EPA letter for his car. I asked, I made sure and I got, yup, yup yup, I got it, we're good. So out of all the things I had, I didn't make a copy of that. Guess what he lost? The freaking letter to import his car. .facepalm. In any case, the CBP let us cross without it as long as we came back up with the paper to try again.

Turns out he packed it like an idiot and it was buried at the bottom of one of his boxes... >.<

In anycase, we're here finally and all set. I'm so happy!!!

That made me both laugh and shake my head - of course that would happen! Well at least it all went well, and now you can both relax. Congrats!

Sounds exactly like my husband, except doing it for 4 years almost every weekend! (Hey, we had to date for 2 years first at least!) The biggest relief is him not having to cross to see me anymore, and to just visit my family once in a while! I can't wait until all this burden is off of our shoulders!

Congratulations!

Was the EPA to ensure he didnt pay duty on his car? I have been wondering this for myself when my POE comes up.
