Congrats! We got to the Consulate at 7:30 and were 10th in line. And it grew rapidly after then. So I second getting there very early.

We didn't land the same day but we could have if it hadn't been for his car. We needed to give the US side 72 hours notice of exporting it, and that worked out to the next morning, so we made a mini vacation of it. So I am sure you can do it!

I have read other peoples experiences when getting visa/landing the same day.  The IO advise a 3-4 hour wait after visa / before landing so their system can be updated.  I plan on going early to ensure I have plenty of time.  I need to get my landing done quickly because my medical expires mid May.  My husband and I planned a holiday second week of May...I don't have much time.
People have reported a smooth process getting visa and landing in the same day.  This forum is great, lots of information shared.  People call it flag pole landing...after landing I would enter back into the US to settle affairs, fly to Vancouver end of May.  I'm determined AND motivated to get things done asap.




Iommi- Definitely get there early (I recommend 7 am!!) We were there at about 6:50-ish and were the second in line. By 8 am thought- the line was MASSIVE!! Overall, easy process though...

Congratulations! That is great! But be careful...they might not be ready to give you the visa on the same day that they receive the passport. My partner was approved for a visa at his interview yet they did not give back his passport on the spot; he had to wait for it to be mailed.

But then again, we weren't applying through U.S. Perhaps that is standard for Buffalo, I really don't know. Perhaps someone else who has gone through the procedures at Buffalo would know if they always issue the visa immediately upon receipt of the passport. They could advise better than I.

That being said, I sure do hope it all goes through for you and you can indeed land on the same day!! Good luck iommi123!!

I am happy to report, Buffalo has sent a passport request today :) I'm planning on driving to Buffalo to get the visa and land the same day.

Thanks tunisianbride Tongue  You will have a nice vacation from 'fretting'.  I am going to do the same.  My husbands passport expired and he will get his new one mid April...so we too are going to take a quick holiday,  thinking to Vegas end of April or early May.   I could go and see him in Canada would be great, but I really don't want to be hassled by Canada border.  Every time, the officers get me bent out of shape, I cry.  I don't want to go all that way just to be turned around because I have a PR application processing...
