Rating:  | Review Topic: K3 Visa
The interview was about 10 minutes and very conversational. Basic questions about how did we meet, how long did we date, when did we marry, why were you attracted to her, where will you settle, what do you plan to do in the U.S. Why did you choose the U.S. over having your wife immigrate to Canada.
Both of the other K interviewees that day had problems because they did not have originals of key documents (divorce certificates and police certificates).
For my case I was approved on the spot and told to return that afternoon.
Other useful things: Even though there is a line up for "visa applicants" go directly to the security guard and tell them you are there for a "K Visa appointment" You jump to the head of the line and go right to your interview room. Remember to do it when you pick up the visa as well (in the afternoon there is a line for people picking up their visas). Basically just tell anyone official looking that you are there for a K visa and you get "special treatment".
Also, you only need one Canada Wide police certificate. The checklist is a bit vague (it says a police certificate for everywhere you have lived for more than six months since the age of 16). But the RCMP certificate covers all of Canada. One of the other interviewees had gone to 5 different RCMP outlets - one for each town he had lived in. At $50 a pop that is a lot of money wasted.
