I apologize if I missed this somewhere but can anyone tell me - are you assigned a consulate based on your region or some other way? My husband is in Alberta and so I was just wondering if we'll end up through Montreal or Vancouver.

Thanks!

The CR-1 is only processed through Montréal. (Alberta K-1s go through Vancouver, but not spousal visas.)

Are you sure?

I believe K-3's (a spousal nonimmigrant visa, the very idea of which confuses me greatly) can be processed in Vancouver.

True on CR-1 (immigrant spousal visa) as well as plain-jane GC--processed ONLY at Montreal.

Alberta:

K3 and k1 = Vancouver

cr-1/ir-1 = Montreal (Mtl looks after all Canadians doing cr-1, ir-1)

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
