If someone lives near Toronto, can they go to Toronto for their interview? I've read some of the reviews and noticed that some go all the way to Montreal for their interview. Also, Toronto does not seem to be an option when it comes to completing your timeline on here. Can anyone shed light on this? :help:

Nope, sorry hon.

The only two consulates who do K interviews are Montreal and Vancouver.

I wish we could go to Toronto though!!!

Good Luck! :)

Thanks, I was afraid of that. Another question, when it's time for the interview under the K1 visa, do both need to be at the interview? Would she have to fly up here for the interview date? If so, how much notice do they usually give for the intervew?

YW :)

Make a trip out of it, that's what Nick and I are doing...Montreal is beautiful!!! We are going to take the train from Toronto and stay for a few days.

The USC is not required at all to attend the interview..it's your interview, not the USC's. She can come with you if she likes though, that's not a problem.

I don't know how much in advance they give the interview..I think it's like a few weeks to a months notice or something...I'm not sure.

I'm sure someone will know!!!

Laura is absolutely correct that the USC is not required to be there, but it sure doesn't hurt! When my wife went for her interview I went up to go with her...funny thing though, when she was called in for the actual interview I was in the bathroom... :P I wasn't even aware that I was allowed into the room with her but low and behold my wife opened the door to the bathroom and goes: "Hunny....you need to hurry up..they want you in the room too" The majority of the questions asked once I got there were all asked to me, was pretty odd!

That was in 2004, though..and again it's not REQUIRED for the USC to be there, but Montreal was a city I was interested in seeing, and actually being there with my wife for the whole thing was the best support she could have gotten from me. If it's possible for you to go, go...if not, no biggie! :thumbs:

My wife had about a 1 month notice for her interview, but again, that was 4 years ago and I am not sure how well the system there is flowing now, so take that with a grain of salt.

Any information I post is based upon my personal experience only. I am not a lawyer.
