Welcome to the United States of Amercia.
Handed me a welcome letter, told me what to expect at the border (bring passport, package they will send me, xray, custody papers). Told me don't cross the border, go for coffee, and then go back home. Take all your belongings, to move permanately. (Good advice since we were planning the prior just to get the ball rolling). Asked me if I had other questions. No...ok. Bye.
A very pleasurable expereince. I was never intimidated or made to feel uncomfortable.
