Landing questions

[bheancheile]

Hello!

My husband and I received my CoPR just last week after a year of stressing over every little part of the process, and while we're excited, I've been working myself into knots with worry over landing things and I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me some advice.

Since we've been cooped up for so long, I had thought about taking a little trip to Niagara Falls and then flagpoling or just crossing (I'm a US citizen) at the Rainbow Bridge. Hubby isn't really the traveling kind and would rather stay home and play Xbox, so it looks like I'm going to be on my own. So, my questions are....

Am I allowed to land in Niagara, or do I have to do so in my city of destination?
Will I run into any problems if I go to the border alone?
What's the landing process like? I'm more than a little nervous about the process, especially since I seem to always get the surliest border officers/TSA people/etc. when I fly.
Should I cross at the Rainbow Bridge, or is the Peace Bridge better? I'll be crossing on foot, if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance!

Doesn't it say in the information from when you got CoPR? It's possible that I am mixing it up, but when it's Outland, I believe you can choose if you wanna call the local office and schedule an appointment for landing or if you wanna flagpole.

Since your husband apparently is too busy with his xbox and can't do basic marriage and/or immigration stuff, maybe going to the office would be nicer. Going to Niagara Falls to walk across the bridge and back alone doesn't sound like all that fun.

You can land in Niagara.

No.

Simple. Once you get an officer, it takes around 15 minutes. They ask you a few basic questions that are on the COPR, enter some details into the computer, sign the COPRs.

See which one is less busy. You have to actually leave Canada, which means you need to enter the US (as a US citizen, you cannot get the administrative refusal from CBP that allows people to just turn around without actually entering the US).
