Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Check in took a while, maybe 15 min beyond my scheduled time but I showed up 30 mins prior and lined up outside. Went up stairs at around 805am, called to 1st window at 815-830, 2nd window at 845-9am. Interview was smooth, answered all their questions, provided all the docs and was put in AP (DS5535) which prolongs my timeline even more.

Very smooth experience. I was ultra prepared and had every document possible. I suggest you bring anything you can think of as they asked me for a tax return I didn't expect. The agent was super nice and the interview lasted 2 minutes. They just asked my longest trip to US (to check I'm not lying), when I first visited my spouse and when we married.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I had my interview on Nov 14th, 2022 at 8:30 am and was approved.

I carried all the documents that I had uploaded for NVC: Sponsor's i864 and taxes docs, Joint sponsor's i864 and taxes docs, all my civil documents. They only asked for the original police certificate ( I had 2 original and 1 copy but they accepted that), my birth certificate and marriage certificate.

I showed up at the consulate around 8:20 and was let in immediately. There were no line ups fortunately (when I was leaving around 10 am, there was a line outside of about 12-15 people).

Inside the building, first thing was security. That took a good 10-15 minutes. There were 3 families in front of me. Mine was done in less than a minute. Deposited my cell phone and apple watch in the locker and up I went. It took about 50ish minutes for my number to be called and I submitted all the documents at the first counter. This is where the first set of fingerprints were taken. As ment... read complete review

Review Topic: FB-1

This is a question ( I am not sure I should post this somewhere else, if yes, feel free to let me know, or change the posting to another thread, thks)

I have an interview coming for FB-1 in Montreal.
My questions are:

1- Which documents are necessary, only the ones listed in the pre-interview checklist or some other documents are needed good to have to?
(ps. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MTL-Montreal.html#pre_interview_checklist)

2- How many documents can you bring? I read you can bring a folder of documents, like how fat this folder can be? is there a max that can be brought in? somebody measuring it? I am planning on bringing a really fat A4/letter size folder full of documents, should that be ok?

thank you so muc... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-2 Visa

IR1 and IR2. We arrived for our 9:30 appt 5 minutes early and we were let through security. We decided to leave our cell phones at the hotel in case lockers weren't available for a later appointment time, but it seems like there were a few left. We went upstairs and waited for about an hour to submit our documents at the window. It was packed up there. I wish we brought books, as there was not much to do other than stare at the clock and the ticket # monitor. An hour later we were called up for the interview portion. I believe since we have been together for almost 14 years, have children etc together it went pretty smooth. Was asked how we met, our longest stays in the US, if we traveled out of Canada or the US in the last 5 years, How many kids we have, He said he intended to approve our visas and that we should have it within two weeks. A day shy of a week, and we had them in the mail at the PO to pick up
