I wasn't going to check the USCIS website yesterday, but I figured, hey, what the heck. There waiting for me was the notice that our paperwork had been approved! Less than 90 days to approval... and I'd ranted before about how long it was taking... :whistle:

I know there's more work ahead, that's fine.

I do have a really silly question, though - once I do get my passport and visa, do I have to fly in to New York to enter through "POE", or can I drive down with my uncle in a moving van with my stuff? I'd rather know now than later so that I don't get my uncle to drive all the way to NY from Toronto.

Thanks for any advice! :)
