POE Windsor - Ambassador Bridge

[KTandTommy 30]

I POE'd on December 20th at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor/Detroit.

Everyone that we encountered was *super* friendly. The border agent was joking around with me, and was saying stuff like "are you sure you want to go down and marry him... I mean... it's not all fun and games now... he can fart in front of you now!" LOL... I was like "don't worry, he already does that" haha.

So he sent us into the secondary area - which was PACKED. We ended up being there for just over 2 hours, on an early Thursday morning (we got there just around 8:30am - most of the people who were pulled in was because they ended up in the Nexus lane, without having Nexus cards). At one point, they were calling in everyone who came in later than me, so my mom went to ask what was going on - they said they were waiting for someone new to come on shift, because the K1 isn't difficult, but it's time consuming to process). After that, they called me up pretty quickly.

The agent was joking around with me again... he looked through my entire packet, asked me a few questions about Tom - what he does, where he lives, etc... and also about myself, and what I do. Then he was looking through some of the evidence of the relationship that we submitted - it was pretty funny. He looked at one of the cards we had written to each other, and gives me the one eyebrow raise and says "Honey Badger?!" loud enough for the agent sitting next to him to notice too. (Honey Badger is my nickname for Tom... LOL) And I turned BEET RED and was smiling like a mad woman. They all laughed.

I had to stand in front of him, and go back and sit down about 4 or 5 times - each time he asked me a few different questions (nothing serious - just stuff like "where will you be living" "when do you plan on going back to Canada?" - correct answer "Not until my AP comes through")

Towards the end, he took my finger prints and a photo - and filled out my I-94. I paid the $6 US. He didn't give me a copy of any of the packet (I thought I was supposed to get a copy of the medical stuff, but he said no, that it all just gets forwarded to USCIS. So I hope that was right... I haven't really looked ahead to the AOS paperwork yet.)

Then he said "congratulations" and sent me on my way

Hmph... I don't have the vaccination sheet from the medical. They never gave me anything.

I did bring all my vaccination records down with me though, so I guess I'll need to find a certified surgeon to fill out the form for me?

odd..when they couriered my medical to me i had a sheet of paper clipped to the back of it..medical worksheet too or something it said. its what i sent in with my aos. also they never took my pic at my poe just the fingerprints.

Congratulations! I am curious why you had to pay $6?

[pocheros 101]

The $6 is for the I-94. It has to be paid in USD last I checked. However if you fly the cost is included in the airfare.
