We got in front of the consulate by 6:50AM. There were 5 people in front of us 1 couple and a family. Around 7:05 AM it started raining…light at first then POURING. We all gathered around the small alcove and luckily we had an umbrella. Regardless our pants and shoes were soaked. Security guards started letting people in right at 7:30AM…a few in line with backpacks were told to come back when they did not have them and that they had until 11 AM to come back. The security guard also said there were lockers at the Eaton Centre for people to leave stuff. We were given letter D and went through security. Then it was down the stairs through a door to the left of security down a short hallway to sit in front of the elevators. Waited around 10 minutes then they sent our group up. Seated on the 19th floor enjoying the view by 7:50AM. Waited until our letter was called to Window 10 around 8:20 AM. A nice man with brown-blond hair and glasses greeted us and asked us for documents…... read complete review

The Vancouver staff are awesome! They're very organized and helpful, as are the staff at Woking Medical. My Fiance and I arrived at the consulate about 12:35 and were told to return in 10 min (my appointment was at 1pm), so we sat on the steps of the plaza next door and enjoyed some sunshine. Security goes through all your things and will open any sealed envelopes, so just make sure anything you're bringing in can be opened relatively easily (the exception being the medical results, which are stamped by the clinic advising the Consulate not to open them). After being escorted to the 20th floor and waiting for a few minutes, We were called to window B just after 1, where we dropped off our documentation and chatted briefly with the gentleman collecting all the info. He advised us to return to the clinic (results are ready at 1:30) to pick up the results of medical, and told us to expect to be called for biometrics about 1:45.
This is where some may find it handy to park near the ... read complete review

Fiancee had her interview today.
Got there around 7, there were a few others already waiting.
Got let in around 7:30. Guard almost forgot to give us our letter, but we ended up with C.
Was called up for docs fairly soon, wasn't asked for proof of domicile, and they only kept my 2009 tax return for proof of support (also had 2007&2008), they didn't want my employer letter or bank statements.
Went to pay at 14A, skipped the "B" line, helped another K1 couple skip the "B" line (B liners were trying to convince them to wait in their long line)
She had to fill out part 2 of DS-230 (PKT said only fill out part I) but it wasn't a big deal.
Got called for interview around 9am. They told us they were having computer trouble and had to wait for our information to appear in some other system but would do the interview first.
Interview itself was fine, finance misinterpreted one of the questions so I jumped in and corrected her. Interviewer... read complete review

So we left the hotel around 6am, it was only a 4 block walk (up hill lol). We don\'t know exactly when we got to the consulate because we couldn\'t bring our cell phone/clock, but it was early. Not early enough because we were second in line and 2 seconds from being the third in line. Doors opened at 730am had to show our passports and appointment letter to get in. We were worried about getting our \"folder\" through security because it resembled a breifcase but it was fine, emptied our pockets and ran everything through the x-ray machine and walked through the metal detectors with no problems. They gave us the letter B and we walked down to a waiting room. A gaurd came down in an elevator and asked for letters A-E and escorted us to whatever floor we went to. We sat for maybe 15 mins and even though we had the letter B we were the first ones called up to window 12. The woman asked for our birth certificates, passports, copies of our passports, W-2s, intent letter, affidavit of... read complete review

Arrived at 6:15 am...extra early, wanted to be first... people started showing up at around 6:45-7:00am.
Doors opened at 7:30am.
Went through security with my fiance and was giving letter A.
Sent down the stairs to wait for security guard who would be bringing us up to the floor where we need to be.
Waited about 10 min then was called to booth 11 and was asked for paper work... photos, passport, letter of intent, affidavit of support and supporting documents, police record, medical exam (no x-ray) and xpress envelope with my mailing address.
Was sent to pay $350... CASH! Boo ya!
Was called within 10 min back to booth 11 and was fingerprinted.
Then was told to go back to wait in the waiting room as I would be called in to booth 7 or 8 for my interview.
Waited around just over 2 hours for my interview.
11:15 called to interview booth number 7.
Waiting there was a really nice lady with short white hair and glasses.
