DAMN!!! Huge accident, traffic totlaly jammed around US consualte to Airport. Roads not to open until 6pm tonight!!

Kidding!! Hope to hear great news soon

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

I need to remember to kick your butt if we ever meet.... :P You gave me a heart attack.

He called right after the interview. He said it was pure hell. He was talking so fast I could barely get a word in. He is horrible with dates and couldn't remember when we met. I had it all documented in his folder but he was so nervous he couldn't remember the dates. He said they put him through the ringer over that. Also, the doctor in Calgary that he went to filled out the medical paperwork wrong. They have contacted the doctor's office and have asked for information immediately. The drama never ends with this visa stuff. They said for him to be back between 1:30 and 2:00 since he expressed that he had a 4:00 p.m. flight to Hamilton, ON. Also, he is taking a cab to the airport so hopefully he will make it!

I will continue to update on this thread!

This one definitely is a 'hanging on to the edge of your seat' sort of thing. It's funny how much we root for one another. Good luck to you!

well, it sounds like he got it though?

You know, if I asked any of my friends when they met their SO, most wouldn't know the date. I am certain snugglebunny wouldn't have a clue. I can only do it if I count back from Sept. 11, I think it was sept. 8, but that depends on whether 9/11 happend on a Monday or Tuesday... I will make a mental note to memorize whatever I wrote on the form!

Well it is only 2:20 in Vancouver so I am sure he is still trying to get the Visa and get to the airport before he gets a chance to call Jen.

But Jen we are all waiting to hear the wonderful news.

It is 3:20 in Vancouver now. Darcy, call Jen!

It is probably all good news. He got his visa, is dashing to the airport and racing to the gate through security. No time to stop at a payphone! :)
