Hey guys,

First time post. Me and my common law partner have just received our BC PNP acceptance letter. Close call as our VISAs are running out next Friday.

In regards to applying for the bridging VISA, can we go to U.S border on Saturday and flagpole? I assumed this was the most common method, but our officer at the BC PNP offices stated the border doesn't process VISA extensions, and told us to apply online. Is this true? I've seen quite a few posts relating to flagpoling to gain a visa extension?

Thanks guys,

Luke
