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

Arrived at 6:45am. One other person was in line. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day!. After approx 20 mins more people arrived. We all lined up behind the left door. My husband and I received letter B by the guard and proceeded up the 4 stairs to another guard. We had to remove everything from our pockets. The guard kept cigarettes and lighter and gave us a ticket to get them back. We go down the 20 or so steps to the elevator. There we waited about 5 mins and a guard called letters A - D to enter the elevator. We went up to the 19th floor. the 6 of us sat on the chairs and waited for our letter to be called. Around 8:15am we were called to Window 10. A nice, young black woman asked for my appt letter, photo's, Birth Certificate, divorce doc's, marriage doc's, I-864, DS 230, 2009 Taxes, medical results. My medical was done on Tuesday 25th and therefore the results wouldn't be ready until 2pm day of interview, so I provided the consulate with a letter from Dr. Seiden's office stating t... read complete review

We got there early, 6:30ish. Another VJer was in front of us. People didnt start showing up until after 7am, then there was a steady stream of them.
They opened the doors just after 7:30am. Once through security we waited until 7:50am to go up in the elevator. We were the only ones facing the right way. The security guard pointed out that it would open the other way.
Once in the holding area we only waited for 10-15 minutes before they called us up to booth 9. Once there she directed Jay to go pay the bill. She asked me for...
Birth Certificate plus copy.
Passport and copy.
Police Check.
I-134 and supporting documents.
Letter of intent from both of us.
She asked me to sign a paper but never asked me to review anything. She took my fingerprints with no problem.
We returned to the waiting area and waited there until roughly 9:10am. She got us to swear to tell the truth and took a finge... read complete review

Hi guys!
so finally I have my visa in my pocket!
at was at 6h in front of the door and at 7h30 they open the door ( at least 30 people after me was waiting in line....be there early!)
Everybody knows how it work when you show up to the window, the check up your paper and do you finger print. Everyting was ok with my paper but I did a form by hand, they ask me to do it on the computer (in the waiting room.
the two people in front of me at the interview stay in the room for not even 5 minutes. My turn come, and I stay 10 minutes more....
Bring a lot of letter and picture schowing that you know good your fiancé. I only know my fiancé for 1 year and a half and the lady has difficulty to beleive that was my fiancé. I brouth picture, but because they didn't have a date in the back, she didn't beleive me. after to try to convence her, she let me in.
Welcome to united states!
good luck guys!

It's about time I updated my time line.
My interview itself was great, the person interviewing me was very personable.
The process was long, as I traveled from the island to the mainland and had to time ferries and taxis etc.
I only had a few setbacks and I just dealt with them as best I could.
The first one was my shoes, I had traveled over in dress clothes wearing runners for comfort and planning on changing to shoes when I got there, BUT you cannot bring shoes into the building, so I casually opted to ditch the shoes, they were killing my feet and when I got to the interview I realized that no one was dressed for business anyway.
The second one was timing, the Vancouver Consulate closed for the Olympics and set us back a few weeks because we were missing an "original" document. The document was the divorce papers of Micheal's first wife. I tried to talk my way around it explaining that he did get married a second time and that I am sure he was di... read complete review
