I guess Montreal/Burlington romances aren't viewed with as much suspicion. The biggest obstacle by far is the pedantic nature of the process itself! Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 4 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 271 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 10, 2006 Embassy Review : The interview process was completely painless. Only one thing worth mentioning here is that any type of cloth bag or briefcase is not allowed. We had to go stash ours in the middle of some parking lot and hope it wouldn't get tossed or stolen. Paper shopping bags and plastic bags seem acceptable. I didn't even have to bring my X-ray. They told me to just give it to a doc when I settle in here. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: CDN-USA Border Event Description Entry Date : 2006-07-09 Embassy Review : Didn't even ask us any questions. Harassment Level : Low

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
