Well my husband just called me and he was approved!!!! He said the interview was a joke. He was greeted by the interviewer as "hey fellow American" so he knew it was going to go well from there. He was asked 3 questions...How did we meet, Why he wanted to come to the US, and What he will do for a living in the US and he was out by 9am. I'm so happy he will be here soon now. I feel like we can finally get on with our lives.

Congrats!!

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
