I just discovered this regional board and thought I would share some of the interesting comments I received during my AOS interview today...Our officer was fantastic...we would have been approved but are awaitng FBI name check...

1. The officer was surprised that I had even filed a K1 Visa...said he thought most Canadians just crossed without intent and ended up marrying

2. He said that "we are very leniant with Canadians when crossing back and forth since Passports aren't needed yet".

3. He also mentioned that I should be weary using my AP...since my AOS was successful but pending FBI he wasn't sure my AP would still allow me to re-enter the US...unless I was coming back in from Canada, he said it might not be a problem but he wasn't sure...he told me I should consult with our lawyer about this before leaving if I don't have my green card in hand.

Anyone ever had problems using AP at the Detroit/Windsor border? I am pretty sure that I can use AP while it is valid and while I await my Green Card...can anyone confirm?

Thanks in advance...I am so glad I found this board!

Welcome Miamimommy,

Congratulations! I hope your security check finishes soon and you get your green card (which isn't green - its white) in your hot little hands very soon. I don't have an answer to your AP question since I never used my AP although I had it. You mentioned the Detroit/Windsor border - where in Canada were you from? I was from Chatham, about an hour's drive east of Windsor - and am now in the Atlanta area - hehehe about the half way mark between Miami and Detroit:-).

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
