I got my interview date over the phone on Wednesday the 26 stating it was to be September 24 @9:30am. I just received the email and packet 4 today.

[tayjoc 4]

What a great idea!! Thank you for setting this up:)

[fellaamazing 72]

Hmm. So they are actually giving the time slots as well rather than calling everyone in the morning unlike the past.

My appointment is at 8:00 AM

So hopefully it won't be a lineup i assume.

My interview time is at 9am.

Your opinions are important to us. Please share your experiences from your interviews.

Oops.. I tried to tag them. Not sure how people actually tag forum members. Any admin might help.

Does anyone know for the letter sent from NVC what the mean when the say "proof of applicants current legal residence"

That means me, the beneficiary correct ? Is that just as simple as a piece of mail? I'm confused by this.

I will show my current visa and drivers license.

Since you dont live in US and not asking for the exemption from courier delivery, this on probably doesn't apply to you. Many things in the list like petitioner's domicile, AOS etc don't apply to me.

Does anyone know if a copy the I-130 /I-129f are required to be shown at the interview. What if I don't have them...

This is an excellent resource by username Salyin: "Montreal Consulate Pictures/Maps" (The Title)

What an excellent tool to prepare for our interviews next month. Just type the above in the VJ search engine and it will show up

[fellaamazing 72]

Yup. I seen that one. Recent experiences would be more helpful

To anyone who was confused like I was about the statement in the interview letter that stated:

" PROOF OF APPLICANT'S CURRENT LEGAL RESIDENCE"

I called NVC and they let me know that it means our Canadian Passport.

I had my interview at Montreal at the end of August. It went exactly like the most recent Consulate reviews have said. The people in my line still had the general admission time of 7:40am so me and my SO got there really early so we could be first. I got number 1 and it went very fast after we finally got inside; I was out before 9am.

They did process the visitor B1/B2 visas first. I don't know what time the K1 filers were finally let inside but it felt like it was probably after 7:40. People were definitely getting turned away for having backpacks and purses and there was no leniency for any of it; go check your bag at Eaton's or bring it back to your hotel and come back before 11am.

I was most nervous handing in all the required documents before the interview but when the actual interview came up I was ready to go. Easy questions and when he got to the more generic ones like have I ever been arrested I knew I was in. I was grinning from there on out.

EDIT: I want to add that if you can make a weekend out of it Montreal's such a fun city to explore. Old Montreal, St. Catherine's Street, the gay district, Chinatown... all fantastic. Me and my SO had a blast; we still talk about it.
