Never heard of having to make an appt 10 days in advance of putting in a memo,lol. I think he just wants more preciouis Tim Horton Time!! The power of the "Tim" is strong!!

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 gotta tell ya......Petawawa is an entity all it's own. He once had to make an appointment to have the base surgeon make a phone call. When he booked the apppointment he told the secretary ( I guess she was ) that he needed the BS to call Ottawa and find out the status of his release. He gets there to see the BS and he says " I'll call Ottawa. Make an appointment to see me next week and I'll let you know what I find out". UGH!!!

Anyway......he was home this past weekend and we were on our way home from a party. We were passing a Tim Hortons and I asked if he wanted to stop...........HE SAID NO....I said OMG Im telling Flames and now you're a REALLY gonna be in his bad books. :D

Thanks you guys .......Im glad it's finally going to be over. He called Montreal to inquire as to what exactly he'll require for them to issue the visa. They said anything that shows a confirmed release date AND they said he could fax it............i didnt they even had a fax machine there ;)

Stupid bureaucracy! But he'll be with you soon and you didn't have to kill or clone him! :)

I'd still like an extra to do the dishes while he's doing laundry :D

They do have a fax machine there... I have the number! Though they "lost" my fax request before... Hrmph. Anyway, have him email and call a couple days after he faxes it to make sure they get it. You know, it might be worth it for him to fax it and put on the coversheet that a copy will come by mail AND then FedEx a copy to them just to make sure they see it.

I wonder how I could clone my husband. One could be walking the dog while the other scoops the litterboxes...

Soooooooooo my husband faxed a letter from the release section to Montreal stating his release date, verifying his pending release etc etc. He also followed up with an email saying he sent the fax and could they verify the receipt of the fax and they replied as follows;

"Please allow several weeks to work on your case. I cannot verify if we received your fax till the case is being reviewed"

****sigh****
