My wife and I have the luxury of being able to have our car shipped to the US. My interview is Aug 7. I want to have the car shipped now before my interview so it will be there when I arrive and for her use now. She is the USC and although she has been living in Canada with me for three years, she left today to get things ready at the house there.

I have the compliance certificate. The car is registered in my name only.

Is this allowable??

I don't think you can ship anything until you have your visa because the customs documents have to include a copy of the visa and I-94 with it.

At least that's what I had to do with my personal belongings that I sent by moving company.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

I am not sure about shipping it before the interview but you can drive it down before getting the visa and then clear the car through customs after you have entered on your visa.

In my case I went to the customs office near the airport in Dallas. Explained to the officer that I needed to have my car cleared into the US as I was moving here. He asked for my paper work (not the paper work on the car), did a quick inspection, then filled out his paper work. The whole process took about 15 minutes.

Correct... in this case, I would have a Customs Broker lined up and have the money to be able to keep the car in a bonded warehouse until you are able to clear Customs. Or you can do what was mentioned above... But you cannot officially import the car until you have entered the US on the visa.
