Hey,

I know this is a weird question but I've noticed lots of VJ'ers bring either their fiance or their future mother-in-laws to the interview...

Just want to make sure we can just brave that day alone..

Thanks :thumbs:

You can definitely go alone to the interview; others choose to take their fiance, like me. :)

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

Here we go again...

I went alone, was no big deal, and during the interview Ido not belive they asked where she was,lol

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

Hi,

I went alone to the interview. I took a couple of extra days as well to enjoy the sights of Vancouver. I was in and out and had my visa in a matter of an hour. Gene couldn't come up, which was fine with me as instead of being at the interview, he came for Christmas that year, which he couldn't have done, had he come to the interview!

If Mel can get a few days off, and if he doesn't have his son at that time, I would love for him to come. I would love for him to see Vancouver!

But I would also enjoy a few days on my own, a hotel room to myself and spent some time wandering.

Andre went alone. He was much calmer without me. There's no need for the fiance to go along....after filing all the darn paperwork, they should be able to figure out you are serious about wanting that person to get a visa. Taking along someone else is for your own support only.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

I second that one Cassie!!!... if Bren goes to the interview, heck will break loose. He can get pretty effing paranoid LOL. So I'm going by myself... though we will both go to enjoy the sights of La Belle Province for a week - the honeymoon we never had cuz of his darrrnnnnn doctoral research!!! :angry:
