Any advice for Montreal US Embassy Interview for EB-1 applicant

[Olly0110 0]

Hi there,

This is my first posting and I hope it's in the right section! The permanent resident section seems to be more about AOS processing. I'm doing Consular Processing and my question is actually about the interview at the US Embassy in Montreal.

I've read some incredibly helpful reviews on others' experiences. However they all seemed to be for green cards through marriage. Mine is via EB-1 and my lawyer has informed me that all the original documents will be at the embassy (yay) save for the medical (which I'm taking on the 25th of this month). She then stated that I should bring the past 6 months bank statements. Not a huge deal but when I received my email notification for the meeting via the NVC, it states that everything is already received and I do not need to bring anything else save for the medical and the passport photos.

Now obviously I'm going to do what my lawyer says and bring documents just in case they ask. However, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience to share - even if not for EB-1 specifically. If you were self-petitioned or are basically a non-family/marriage applicant or know anyone who was and can share, that would be tremendously appreciated.

It's been a long-ish process and I'm admittedly terrified of this meeting! I'm so happy I found the VJ community today because it's really helping me wrap my head around what to expect.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
