Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 24, 2014 Embassy Review : We had our interview yesterday in Montreal. I really do not have much to add as the detail in my beautiful friend Sylea other members posts is spot on. We did run into a minor snag because we had previously filed a K1 visa and they still had it in their system. It took a while for them to sort it out but it wasnt a huge problem. We got there at 8:30 for our 9 am interview and the whole process took about 2 hours. They wouldnt let me go into the actual interview with my husband but I was allowed to speak to and present all the paperwork at the first window we were called to. My husband was suprised at how quick the interview itself was as they only asked him My name, address, where I work and how long we have known each other. The interactions we had at the first window really felt much more like an interview as she asked us questions and collected our paperwork. All in all this step really does seem like a formality as you are pretty much already approved by the time you get to this stage. As long as your answers match what they have in their files and you have all the documents they ask for you are golden. Thank you EVERYONE on visa journey who has helped me get to this point and good luck to all!! PS. Sorry if there are spelling mistakes in this review, I am using my husbands computer set up for French and so I do not have autcorrect or spellcheck Rating : Very Good

*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
