Try to stop stressing out Wyatt. You will be fine, you are well prepared. Once the interview is done, you'll be wondering why you were so worried.

Ha ha...I missed this last night.

Honestly -- I'm not stressed out in the least. This is actually just me being me...making sure all my I's are dotted and T's are crossed. I'm my own worst critic if I screw something up...which makes me very thorough and preventative etc. Trust me, I'm as cool as a cucumber right now.

That's good. I didn't realize really how worried I was until we heard approved and welcome to the US.

Wyatt, I don't know if I can speak for you but, I have anxiety and the night before the interview we watched American Idol then right after it was 10 I think and I knew it was time...my heart raced quicker than it should and I just couldn't fall asleep till like 12 I think. But the day of, I was as cool as can be, I was surprised.

You'll be fine, it sounds like you have things in order. I wouldn't worry too much. I think they already have you decided more or less before you walk in. Just be concise as possible, yes-no answers, I'd keep the chit chat to a minimum. But they will probably joke around you with a little, it seemed like they did things, "real" and they understand what your going through and they were very nice. That's the impression I received from them.

I will say this though, regardless of your beliefs, I had God on our side and you guys were a great help. We did lots of praying beforehand.

good luck

Mike777-Not exactly a question...But cool to hear that you're in NT and Niagara Falls too! Welcome to NYS!

Ant

It's pretty cool to find folks in Western New York who are going through all of this, too. I'm over in Rochester, NY.

Hey Pauley,

Mr. rach-cha wegmans over there.

My buddy lives in Chili, or however you spell it.

Yup, WNY born and raised, even though its economically depressed LOL, its my home and I love it. Hopefully my wife has an easy time of adapting to Peter Pan peanut butter, wegmans and not Tops...and Target instead of Zellers! And how we people from Western NY have that nasally sound pronouncing our 'a's.

Cool! I used to live in the hamlet of North Chili, in the northwest corner of town. (Just to confuse everyone else reading, we pronounce it like "CHAI-lie" )

Yvonne used to visit me in Rochester all the time before we got married, and has stayed in Toronto since then. She's said she misses Wegmans; likes it a lot better than Loblaw's. She's doing the vegetarian and as-organic-as-possible things, and Wegmans helps out with that quite a bit. Pretty well fleshed out organic sections in the nearby Wegmans stores.
