I used to have the direct phone number straight to the Free Trade Officer at Buffalo but unfortunately it is tucked away in some old files. The port will definitely take cash but I would not count on them accepting a credit card. They might but just don't count on it. I would say definitely cash or a money order.

thanks

Will they take both CDN and USD?
Any special advice I should know when filing an L1 at the Peace Bridge?
Its for a new company startup, we had a lawyer setup our paperwork, so its all in order. Is there anything particular they will be picky about?

They would only take U.S. cash. Just try going into a Wegman's with Canadian cash and see what happens, right?

If you had legal assistance in preparing the application, you should be good to go and Buffalo is a fair port too. As long as you demonstrated the specialized knowledge competently in the letter and meet the other criteria for an L-1, there should not be a problem.

You may also immigrate from an L-1, a big advantage the L-1 enjoys over the TN.

Thanks for the info

I am not applying under specialized knowledge. I'm coming through under management in a new startup.

The paperwork is all there, and everything is legit and above board.
I'm just having the jitters.

Is peace the best option? I could also go to Niagra falls.
I just heard good things about peace

I believe Buffalo will be a good choice so your jitters are perhaps a bit unjustified. Just get your L-1 and be on your way. They will issue you an I-94 departure record. I heard Niagara Falls also had some recent good experiences but historically, it has been a strict port.
