You rebel!mameelynn said:haha!! Well we are here and made it safe and sound! The landing process was a bit of a bumpy situation! So when my husband went to get the papers for him to export the car from the US they started to question him loads and give him a hard time about wanting to move from "the great and wonderful USA" well he was trying to be honest with them and long story short they pretty much dragged me and the three kids in(while there was an insane rainstorm going on) and saying that they were going to handle this as if I was doing a self-deportation (I have been in the US for 6 years without papers) and I'm banned for 10 years... Yeah not how we thought it would go to say the least!! I had been told that I was in a loophole due to the fact that I never had filed papers in the US and that I hadn't needed a visa to get there in the first place. Well after a few tears and silently cursing the US (it pretty much felt like a final middle finger to us and just another piece of proof that leaving there was the best choice!) we made it to the Canadian side of the border and went in to land. The officer was mostly quite and just did what had to get done and didn't seem to thrilled with having to do a landing but by the end she seemed to warm up to us all. All and all it took over 2 hrs from the time we made it to the border till we got the all clear. A lot longer then we thought it would but it's done now so we can just move forward from here! Now to get all the paperwork done here! haha... it never ends.... ???
I'm so glad you're safely across the border.
ENJOY YOUR BAN!!!!
