Congrats!!

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

AWWWWWWW thank you everyone yes we are so exited to be able to finaly waer our bands

oh waite a min

( we are already waering our bands since the last 2 years , when we got engaged we bought weddingbands as engagement rings , Tony is workin with the public and wanted to keep H*&^Y woman away when I had to be in canada it sure worked they lookd at the ring and kept distance lol , so we will use them now when we get married , I told tony I dont want a big diamond am a simple girl and those bands have sentimental values wich mean more then a diamond ,they been trough everything with us , I like to use the same bands :D ) and we also have matching tatooes since the last 3 years, wich was done in purpose of being soulmates for life (a cobra wrapped around a heart we designed so it looks like the cobra is guarding the heart about 4-5 inches big ):D
