Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Appointment was Sept 18th 2023.
A few weeks ago I got an email with a different appointment time, so this morning I went at the first appointment time and asked which one I should attend since I didn't want to miss it! The guard at the door said come back at 1045 which was the time in the most recent interview update. I grabbed breakfast and went back to the hotel to chill.

At 1045 I was back at the consulate and checked in. The guy at the door checks you off a list, you go through the door and a person immediately to the right checks your passport, gives you a ticket with your appointment number on it and then you go through security and put your phone in a tiny locker and then go up the elevator.

Once there I was immediately called into a room and asked for:

My birth certificate
Marriage certificate
My husband's 2022 taxes
My RCMP check
Passport Photo
Passport
(I had a folder of 20 other t... read complete review

The interview was smooth, efficient, and on-time.

There was no line-up upon arrival. Security was quick, and the process from arrival to exit was probably an hour twenty minutes.

Staff were overall courteous and professional.

My interview was scheduled for 8:30 but I got there at just before 8:10 because my Uber was far faster than I thought it would be. There were about 9 people ahead of me which was weird because they were all waiting for interviews at 9:15! There were two people behind me for 8:30 as well. At 8:15 the security guard asked me what my interview time was and he let me up right away. I walked in, handed the lady my passport, put my things in the X-Ray machine and then put my phone and smartwatch in the locker and headed upstairs. 

It took about 10 mins for my number to be called to go to the first window (Window 5) and she confirmed phone numbers and addresses and then asked me for the following documents:

1 Passport photo
Police Certificate
Birth Certificate
Marriage Certificate
My husband's divorce decree
My husbands 2022 tax return and 2022 W2
She took my finger prints and then she sent me back on my way to the waiti... read complete review

Interview was this for 8:30am, I arrived to the consulate by 7:45 as I’ve read about the long lines. The security officer will call out appointment times and will take you out of line once it’s your time. Went through security and waited in the waiting room until my number was called. I waited approx 20 mins, was asked to give passport, marriage certificate, birth certificate, criminal record check, one passport photo and 2022 taxes, took about 5-10mins. Waited another 30-40 mins until my number was called for interview. The officer asked; who is my petitioner, how did we meet, when did we get married, is it both of our first marriages, what does my spouse do for living, what was my longest stay in US, if I was ever denied entry, overstayed a visa, or have committed a criminal offence, where I travelled in the last 5 years. The officer then advised she will be approving my visa and I’ll receive it in the mail in 2 days. Overall the interview itself was under 5 minutes. I ... read complete review

I had a wonderful experience at the Montreal Embassy. After such a lengthy process (17 months - 524 days exactly) we were approved on the spot! I stressed out so much about the interview process and getting my approval, and in the end, it was easier than I could have hoped. They approved us based on my husband’s assets alone, which I did not expect after the NVC suggested a joint sponsor (we didn’t end up needing one!). Everyone at the embassy was SO kind, especially the woman who collected my documents when I first went in and the officer who ultimately approved my case. I am feeling so very grateful and could not have had a better experience at the embassy in Montreal - what a relief!
