Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Appointment 8:30am. Waited in line for a number along with everyone else. Sat until 9:50 when I handed in paperwork and got fingerprints. Then sat again and waited until 12:40pm for my interview. The lady was very kind and casual, and basically just asked me how I was and to tell her about my husband. So, my review is basically to say this: The people working there were all very nice, the wait time is brutal, the interview time does not mean that you will be seen at that time at all, and take a book!

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Approved!!!
I wish I was writing this as soon as I heard the news: "Welcome to America",so all the details are correct and I didn't forget anything. But I will try to recall all the details 2 days after the interview.

Went to the consulate the nite before so I knew exactly where to go. It was a 10 minute walk from the Hotel. I arrived at the consulate at around 7:15 and there were about 15 people already in line, all lined up to the left of the entrance. They started taking people in at 7:30. They asked for my passport and confirmation letter and was asked to wait in line. Once through the 2nd door, they looked at my passport and confirmation letter, took my little tiny purse any my eco-bag with my x-rays and all the paper work and placed it in a tray and x-rayed that. I went through the metal detector and they asked me if I had anything in my pockets, said no and was very pleasantly told hello by another security officer to go through that door, which you hav... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Left Brampton at 8am the day before, with only a few stops at rest stations for gas/food we made it to Montreal by just after 2pm. Stayed at Hotel la Tour Centre-Ville, which is by no means fancy (really outdated, not the most comfortable bed, weird room layout) but was relatively inexpensive and we were on the 15th floor and had a really nice view out the huge windows! There's also free wifi if you ask for an access code, but it is slower than dial up. The best part though, it's literally across the street and around a corner from the consulate. Unless you have to wait for the light to change, less than a minute walk! The parking lot for the hotel is much further away than the consulate is, even! We checked in, I went over all my documents and then we headed out with a friend of ours that lives in Montreal (friend from the site where Ramon and I met even, it felt fitting.) We had some dinner and saw some of the downtown area since it was a beautiful evening for walking and then headed... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

A wonderful experience for us thanks to the advice of Visajourney's members on how to organize our documents and navigate the consulate. Thankfuly our case was not complicated and we were there for just a few hours (we were one of the first peoplein line and left at about 10:30). The consular officers were jovial and friendly - it felt wonderful to hear them welcome us to the USA after the unexpectedly long journey we've had.

Review Topic: General Review

I filed for a K1 visa and have to say that the entire process in Montreal went smoother than I had originally anticipated. I was expecting somewhat of a hassle judging by what others have been through and ended up recieving no issue at all.

The process is fairly standard. I say to arrive early. The earlier you go, the faster you will get out. I got to the consulate by 6:50 in the morning and waited outside until about 7:30. They let you in, you go through security, and then they place you into this tiny room that is rather intimidating. I waited there for about 20 more minutes until we were taken up an elevator to the 19th floor.

Once there, you are given a number depending on your case. What scared me when I got in was that I was not on their official list for interviews. Do not let this bother you. They took me in regardless, pulled my file using my appointment number given to me when you schedule your interview on the CSC website. They will ask you for... read complete review
