canada to usa customs

Will be travelling from Vancouver to Seattle with the quick coach. Does
anyone know what the procedure is at customs as we have a french and a
British
passport. When we asked about it at the quick coach office they told us if
it took any extra time they would just leave us behind to get the next bus.
As that is three hours later would not really like that to happen.

My past expereince has been that foreign passport holders had to get off of
the bus (this was a cruise ship transfer to Seattle) and have their
passports looked at. didn't take long but these people should know what to
expect and should give you a better answer or I wouold be looking at
another form of transport.

I'd try to get hold of someone in a U.S. consular office and ask them.

You need to come to the office, pay USD6, get a visa waiver form, fill it
in, have an interview with an officer that could be 1) short and pleasant;
or 2) (more likely) long and unpleasant, (they assume that all "aliens" want
to live in "god's own country"), and finally they will most likely stamp
your passport and let you in. You will also have to clear customs with your
luggage. Could be 5 minutes on a quiet day when the officer is in a good
mood, or could be 2 hours on a busy day when the officer is a Republican
that eats freedom fries.
