Hi there,



I am a Canadian citizen and my husband is a US citizen. We are currently in the middle of my immigration visa application process and I already have an interview date at the US Consulate in Montreal. I was wondering if it's lawful and legal to visit my husband before the interview? I have heard mixed answers that state it is totally up to the CBP when I arrive at the port of entry whether I'm allowed in or not (I was planning to cross the border and take a flight from seattle). I also heard that if they know you have an intent of immigration they can refuse to let you through. But my application is already in process. Does anyone have a solid answer on what action I should take and if I can go visit him or not? And if I can, will this affect my chances of getting a visa at the Consulate in Montreal if they see on my travel history that I went to the US?? That is my main concern.



Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I already tried to contact CBP but due to the government shut down, their customer service lines are down. This is my last resort.



Thank you!
