I sent in my USC packet yesterday. My only problem is that I couldn't get a pencil to write on the back of my photos so I HAD to use a pen. I am expecting an RFE. :/

Aside from that I am excited this is the last $700 I will be giving USCIS. And no more border hassles, yay!

Good luck - just to let you know, you will get an RFE - it will be for the biometrics! Seriously, that is what they call the notification for biometrics. :yes:

With the photographs, you can take two more with you to the interview in case the two you submitted aren't appropriate. I don't think I wrote on mine in pencil either but used a light pen right at the edges. Regardless - you will be asked to sign on the edge of the front of the photograph - in pen - at your interview. I think they are just concerned that the ink will migrate through to the front of the image and that is why they ask for pencil.

You actually won't receive an RFE for anything other than the biometrics though. They will just send you a notice to bring any missing documents to the interview. Since they know they will be interviewing you they don't really go through the applications in any detail until you are actually in the interview - and the interviewer will go through it in front of you.

Remember to ask for your Citizenship Test booklet when you go for your biometrics. Happy studying!

you can find the questions online too

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

Funny thing is--few yrs back when I was a permanent resident, traveling with my wife--she would get hassled by the USA POE officer, not me! lol

Ah good. That was my next question. So I should just bring my 3yrs taxes to the interview? I don't have 3 statements yet because I got my SSN in January. Had I gotten it 12 days before I'd have 3 years. So I should file early this year I guess.
