What a efficient and friendly office!
Interview time was at 1pm. We arrived about 25 mins before 1 and the security guards asked us very nicely to wait until 12:45pm. There is a nice courtyard next to the entrance that we sat and waited. And Craig tried his best to keep my mind off my nervousness 
At 12:45pm we went through the security check and up to the visa floor.
There were only 2 Family Visas to be processes at 1pm, and I was called up to Window B after I barely sat down.
The consular official (I canot for the life of me remember his name) was super nice and was impressed that everything was so organized and (he said) in the correct order. He went through the process and told us we could grab coffee if we wanted as it would be about an hour before fingerprints.
I was so thankful, he said he saw that everything was in order and it was unlikely that we wouldn't have our visa in hand on Monday ... read complete review

We got to the consulate at 6:45 am and were the first people in line. By 7 am the line was about 10 people. We were in the consulate by 8:30 am. I would advise getting there by 7 am because the line up is huge after 7:30 am!
The interview was quick, about 5 minutes. The officer asked us when we met and where, what my fiance was doing for employment and what my future plans were. He didn't look at any of our evidence of relationship. He was really nice and made jokes about Chicago White Sox to my fiance.
The only stressful part was having to pay a new fee that went into effect that day for the K1 Visa.

I don't live in Vancouver so I had booked my medical exam the same day as my interview. My medical was scheduled for 6:30am June 2 and my interview was at 1pm. Apparently this particular medical centre only schedules immigration exams on Wednesdays. So I lucked out with my interview being on the same day.
I arrived at the medical centre at 6:15am and the doors were locked, someone had to come open them for me. There is alot of waiting around at throughout the day, so this is only the beginning. You have to go up to the second floor, but make sure you try to be at the front of the elevator doors so you can get a good number. I was number 22 and this number I was stuck with the rest of the medical exam. Firstly you have to fill out some papers, next you go for your blood test. Of course you have to wait until your number is called so there's more waiting. The blood test was probably the worst part. You're sitting next to everyone else that's getting their blood ... read complete review

I got on the road by 4:45am from Sherbrooke.. Got in the Montreal area by 6am, a little bit of traffic already but i wasn't stuck in there for too long. By 6:20am, i find the consulate... But now i had to find a parking.. So i circle 2-3 times around the basements, ask some people where i can park (maybe i was too stressed for the interview i couldn't read the signs well!). I finally find a parking for 16$/day. So i get in there... but there was no ticket to get, no security guard, and even if i wanted to get out of there i couldn't exit because the security guard has to open the door!!! So for 15 minutes i get angry and stressed, and i decide to leave my car in the parking and leave the building. I get to the Lobby of the building, find a guard there, and ask him about the parking.. and everything was ok he told me i can just pay when i come back after the interview So i start running and try to find St-Alexandre street (as my orientation is not the best!)... I fin... read complete review
