| Embassy Review : |
My wife had her interview October 19th at 9am in Downtown Montreal.
We arrived at 8:30am and had to line up outside. I was allowed to go up with her.
We did the usual security check. They check in your keys and cellphone at the security desk and make you empty your pockets etc.
We had a binder with all the documents (copies and originals).
We went up to the 19th floor and waited in the middle section.
it took about 2 hours to get called to the 1st window.
They asked for AOS, the birth cert with translation, passport, canadian visa, police cert.
She went back and sat down for 20 mins or so and was called for the interview (I was allowed to stay)
we gave the interviewer all the documents he asked for, nothing additional needed like evidence of relationship, pictures or misc. I gave him my US passport.
He asked where I lived and worked and didn't ask any personal questions. He only asked if she ever committed a crime and joked about never being caught. He was very pleasant and quick.
She was approved and told it would be 3-5 for processing and the visa would be ready in lachine.
it has been 5 days now and the CEAC site says ready still but we are hoping to get the waybill/tracking # today or tomorrow.
I felt the process was very easy and quick.
If you are organized and bring everything listed on letter or visa journey (which is amazing!!), you just get there early enough and calm, you should be fine! |

*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.
