IR5 Parent interview Montreal, Canada

[hyoliyuli 1]

Hi everyone,

 

I am petitioning my parents, and my mom is the first to get her interview scheduled for end of March 2023 in Montreal. 

For anyone else interested, it took about 2.5months since being DQ to get the interview appointment.

My dad's appointment has not come yet. He is about a month behind her (since being DQ).

Anyone have experience getting interviews done here?

What are the types of questions asked or expected? Any advice are welcome!

Thank you in advance!

If you go and search the Montreal consulate, you'll find many reviews on what to expect.  

 

Make sure all of their paperwork is in order before their respective interviews.  Only the person being interviewed is allowed in unless they have an exception for assistance.  Don't arrive any earlier than 10 minutes before the appointment.  Avoid bringing any electronics if possible because they will have to be locked up anyway before being allowed up into the building.  A book or magazine to pass the time is fine.  

 

The Consulate is a little bit unsuspecting and not super obvious as many US immigration type buildings are.  They will enter and go through security that is essentially the same as airport security.  Once upstairs, they will sit in a waiting room.  There are washrooms and a water fountain.  

 

Good luck!  Hopefully they have no hiccups!
