Embassy Review : |
Finally, finally, finally had our interview yesterday morning in Montreal. My husband (petitioner) came with me which they seemed to like, but there were a number of people without their spouses.
We were there at 6:40 and first in line. The security guard came around just before 7:30 to remind people that they were not allowed ANY purses or bags, which sent a couple of people sprinting to nearby hotels and coffee shops to see if they could leave their stuff for a few hours. They opened the door at 7:30 for us to talk to the first woman about the Loomis/appointment letter.
After that things went pretty quickly. Upstairs we got number C-1 but were the 5th people called to a window to give paperwork. We were there for maybe 5 minutes. Then sat for another 10 and then called for the "interview" which lasted about 10 minutes. 6 of those were talking about stuff other than the visa, then we both took the oath, then we chatted some more and the officer said "by the way I just approved your visa".
We were out the door by 9:03.
We had taken a lot of extra paperwork and were generally overprepared, but it was a good thing because we were asked to show a couple of things that we didn't think they'd need.
SO glad that is behind us! All the best to everyone preparing for their interviews. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
