My interview in Montreal was definitely the easiest part of this whole process so far. I arrived at the consulate at about 6:50, and there were quite a few people in line already. The woman right in front of me had come directly from the airport and had her luggage with her, I felt a little badly that I didn't let her know earlier that they for sure would not let her in the building with it - but after being turned away at the door (she would have had C5) she had a cafe across the street watch it for her for $5 (ending up with C19).
I was totally over-prepared. I had spent days trying to put the original 129F submission back together (we'd lost the USB stick it was on between Mike getting back from Afghanistan and the interview), we spent 45 euros shipping the NOAs to me, I printed piles of photos and other evidence, and they asked me for nothing other than my passport, my birth certificate, police clearance letter and the I134.
Being C5, it felt like an eternity waiting for the other interviews to get through. Then, right after C4, the called C12. Then C6. I was sweating bullets because I'd left my mom and sister at the hotel and had assumed I'd be out by 9 45 or 10. After C6, at about 10:40, they finally called C5!
She was very sweet!She had me sign the forms that I'd sent in with Pkg 3, then the interview itself consisted of this:
So - how did you guys meet? I answered this in about one sentence, so she followed up with And Then? which started me on the schpiel of the last year, which I ended with - you know, he was the one that got away. Her response? NOT ANYMORE!!
I think at one point she asked me where he was deployed, where he is now, when he's coming back, made sure to remind me not to go to the states now since he won't be there till November... but overall - that was the interview:
How did you guys meet?
And Then?
Now the waiting game on getting my passport back!
