Remember--The elevator OPENS from the REAR!!!!!! kick butt

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

Why would you "figure" that? Obviously the door has to be open, before you can kick butt!! Len been serving you too many extra shots of Starbucks lattes?

Congratulations on your interview date, I'm sure you'll be just fine!!! :)

I'm glad my review was helpful.

Have a wonderful POE and wedding!!!

We haven't applied for AOS yet because we have to wait for our marriage certificate which should be here in a few weeks.

Once I have that, then I'll really hunker down and get back at the paperwork. I'm taking a much needed break from all that!!!

Much love to you and best of luck!!! :)
