Let me start off by saying how relieved I am that this part is over .
I arrived in Montreal Sunday night and stayed at les square Phillips. Very nice place and 5 min walk to consulate.
I got to the consulate at 630am.... And it was cold. So make sure to dress warm especially if you arrive early. I was first in line. We were let in at 730. The security staff was welcoming and helpful.
Went down the stairs and waited for another guard to take us up on the elevator. Once we were there we sat on the chairs waiting for our letter to be called. I was called and went to the corresponding window. The lady was super nice asked me how I was. She basically looked at my already submitted forms to see if my parents name and all the addresses were correct. Gave her my medical...xray was pointless to bring. She took my fingerprints. Then I returned back to the waiting room. By that time... Around 815 the room was packed. I waited about half hour to be called by name. I was called into a room and greeted by another friendly face. She asked me how we met, when we met in person, what does he do, what will k do once I move . That is all. I wasn't asked to show pictures, travel proof, phone bills or anything. Super fast. She welcomed me to America and said I should have my passport in about 2 weeks.
I was done by 9 am. Arriving early and freezing was definitely worth it. It seemed
like the ppl that came late were not sure where to go or what do.
