This is for ANYONE AND EVERYONE going to their interview at the Montreal Consulate. Please learn from my experience. This may be long but will be helpful!


My interview was today -February 18th at 8:30pm. I got to the consulate office around 7:00 am because I wanted to beat the line...which I didn't. There were about 10 people already there lined up, which isn't a big deal. Because I live in Montreal already, it was easy for me to just hop in my car and get there. But I suggest for everyone to arrive at LEAST an hour in advance.

From there, you are let in one by one. You must show the guard your appointment letter with you passport. Once let in, you go through a pat down like if you were in an airport. No cellphones, big bags, electronics allowed etc allowed. You are then to go downstairs to wait to be called up by letter (first come first serve basis). You are then escorted to the main area for your interview by elevator with a security g... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

We stayed at Hotel Le Dauphin on Bleury and it was awesome. About 5 mins walk but it took me a bit because it was very cold and slippery. I reached the embassy around 7 am and boy it was freezing!! Waited about 45 mins and the guards opened the doors and started taking our appointment letters along with our passport. I got the letter B card and gone through the security like the airport. I made sure to bring a shopping bag to carry my documents and small purse and also made sure I didn\'t bring any liquid or a belt just to avoid the hassle. After we were told to go to the basement and wait for the guard to take us to the 19th floor. Therer was about 5 of us that went upstairs. Mind you my appointment was for 10 am but I went early just like what other VJ members told me to do. 7:45 we went up to the 19th floor and then waited for our letter/ name to be called. I was called about 3 times. The first time was regarding finger prints, second was confirmation where in the US I will be stayi... read complete review

Interview was okay - spoke to 3 staff, the first one who tooked the passport picture & the forms filled online; second one checked my infos and told me that i needed to submit police clearance from back home (he wasnt that helpful); the third one, interviewed me s/a where we met, where he worked etc. then she told me that i needed the police clearance and told me how to get it. Thats all what is needed and they will send the visa. I have sent it 2 weeks ago so still waiting.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

We had a strange and scary experience at the interview. We had an interview at 8:30am, we got there at 8am. My fiance and I decided that it did not make any sense for us to stand outside in the freezing cold just to be able to leave the consulate early.
Everything up to the interview was fine, normal, as everyone has put it.
At the interview, I, the USC was asked the first question, I was stumped. I did not expect this at all. I was asked how me met, which I told the officer, and I don't think he believed us, because he asked again, then he asked us exactly where and when. Then he went on to ask me about my work, and my income. He asked my fiance for her marital status, status in Canada, which countries I have visited, any relatives in US. He asked us to sit down for a while, and then called us back up.
He took her fingerprints at the beginning of the interview, and he ended the interview with an orange card and said that the fingerprint machine is not work... read complete review
