Can't do that either ... They can from the States, were examined by the
Canadians, went and parked apparently, walked over the American side for
wifey-poo to conduct business. Can't use American duty free unless you
were going back into the US which they weren't.
Perhaps she was renouncing her US citizenship or returning her green
card to the Americans. Who knows and who really cares.
My apologies to my Canadian husband, but I don't care for any alien,
Canadian included, who doesn't follow government regulations. He wasn't
suppose to be in the US for more than six months ... he was an illegal
alien. Period, end of story.
Now the issue is whether he is banned or not. From the little I know
and have been told, no, he isn't because for a Canadian his overstay has
to be determined by an Immigration Judge. That said, since he wasn't
too bright and told the US agent he was an illegal alien for 18 months,
they might have marked that on their rooster and his name will come up
when he attempts to cross the Can/Am border.
