We got there at 7:30am and were out by 10:30 am.
After carefully filing through security, they send you into the most depressing basement room with rows of chairs crammed in one corner of a really huge room (it was very odd). So we sat for a while until an officer came and herded us into the elevator to an upper floor. We stood in line there until our window opened at 8:30am, where we got a number.
Then it's hurry up and wait. First we were called to a window to give some documents and make sure everything was in order. Then we went back to wait some more. Then he was called to take fingerprints, and then more waiting. Last, we were called to another window to speak with someone much more official looking. He asked us a few quick questions, had us take the oath and told us we were approved.
Everyone was really nice and helpful and it was a decent experience.

Easy peasy.
Have all your documents in a folder or clipped together. Make sure the DS-156 is printed off the computer, not handwritten like I had. If you had handwritten the DS-156, they will ask you to go downstairs to use their computer to print it off. Piece of cake.
1 PM interview:
12.30 parked at Manulife (same building as US Consulate) $3 per half hour (total $12)
1 PM got called by gentleman to make sure I had all my papers
1.25 go downstairs to redo DS-156
2.09 fingerprints with Lady 1
2.16 "interview" with Lady 2
2.25 "interview" with Lady 2 complete
"Come back tomorrow at 2 to pick up your visa."
TA-DA!

The Montreal Consulate experience was a great one for me.
As I was very nervous, the staff put me well at ease. The blond haired lady I dealt with at the counter spoke to me very politely and was a very friendly individual. She was patient while I looked through my paperwork for the correct items she needed and nicely explained what she needed for me to do next.
When it came to my interview, the gentleman was extremely friendly, making my interview the complete opposite I was expecting (a complete interrogation). He made both me and my fiance at complete ease and was a pleasure to talk to.
Obviously my Visa got approved - or else I wouldn't be singing Montreal's US Consulate's praises!

:thumbs: I'm extremely happy to announce that I was approved, :dance:YAY !
So this is how it all went down..
Our flight arrived in Montreal from Vancouver at 4:30pm. We rented a car from Thrifty a little yaris nothing special since we were only planning to stay for 2 days. My husband is so cute, us Canadians KNOW that everything in Quebec is going to be in French, but he seemed so overwhelmed that nothing was in English.. He had a lot of fun trying to pronounce the words, but everything ended up having a Spanish accent. I swear he kept saying Je m'appelle over and over again, and Sortie, the entire plane ride since it's posted in the plane at all the exits (guess that's what started the whole thing :lol: ).
Anyhow, so we checked into our hotel (La tour centre ville), which was perfect because we weren't picky, and it was very conveniently located directly across the street from the US Embassy. Oh, and there's no parking on the street, so we had to pay the $... read complete review

So I suggested to my Husband that he write the review, since he was actually there! The only thing I wanted to add was we knew that his passport needed to be valid for 6 months at the time of his interview - when we looked at the expiry date back last year, July 2008 seemed more than sufficient - yeah.
When we were going over all the papers on Saturday or Sunday, we realized that it was only valid for 5 more months - but what are you going to do on the Sunday before the Tuesday interview? Also, we threw in the 2004, 2005 tax returns at the same time, figuring it couldn't hurt to have them, wasn't originally going to include them. It's a good thing we did - while our I-864 is sufficient in terms of assets, I believe they wanted to see the additional 2 years of tax returns just to say hey, the U.S. citizen can in fact do work that will create income (since I'm not working).
Anyway, here is his review, enjoy!
