Airport experience was super easy. we were both ushered into the screening room, and had to wait a few minutes, then Olesya's biometrics were taken and both our passports were stamped and we were on our way. Maybe we were lucky?? After leaving the airport, NY was not so easy, here's a tip learned the hard way: don't stretch out on the floor and sleep in port authority bus terminal, no matter how long you've been awake already, or the police will become very suspicious!-better yet-spend the extra couple hundred dollars and fly to the midwest instead of going by greyhound! (we had been about a year in India, where sleeping on the ground in transport hubs is totally common)-- reverse culture shock!! |

Entry was easy, she did bring some foodstuffs that were not allowed in. But the process went very well. |

Derby Line, VT (A-55/I-91). About 2 hours total. Sat around for just over an hour while agents talked and interviewed a few people also in the room. After an hour an agent said he had been manually reviewing everything from the packet with the multiple computer systems to make sure there were no errors. Everything checked out and he gave the standard advice on what the next steps were. Very friendly.
The one hitch was whether I was supposed to get an I-94 or not, as I was a Canadian citizen entering by land from Canada. The two agents there speaking to me suggested not, and I was fine with that but didn't want to have to go back there or go to a deferred inspection office if not, so they asked their supervisor and he said give me one. The original agent, upon taking my money, said "I can't believe they're making you pay $6." I gather it wasn't necessary (it was when I got a J-1 exchange visa 9 years earlier, apparently), but I won't cry over $6. |

Just a very long wait to be processed. Also, told I need import paperwork for my vehicle. Allowed to enter with it and told I will need to sort it out as soon as possible. Since my vehicle was an 08 model and had no tire pressure monitoring system, had to find a special garage that can outfit the vehicle with one. Additionally, hired a broker in Champlain NY and had the car sit on an impound lot for over a month in order to have all requisite inspections performed by the relevant parties. Drive to Champlain to drop off and pick up was over 24 hours of driving round trip each time.... In hindsight, had I known how much this would cost (time and money-wise), I would have just sold my vehicle in Canada and purchased a new one in the USA. |
