Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : August 9, 2015 Embassy Review : We had arrived early at the consulate, which was a good idea. We had forgotten to sign up for Looomis so we had to do that before we entered. Luckily, I had data on my phone and was able to do that quickly. They didnt let my husband into the consulate so he went back to our hotel to chill. The security was a bit grumpy but once I was past them, everyone was nice. The wait for the interview was quite long. A little over two hours until I spoke to someone. The first person I spoke to just checked out the documents and gathered them from me. I was sent back into the waiting room but only for like ten minutes then I had the one on one interview. They interviewer tried to trip me up a few times by asking trick questions but over all it wasnt bad. I was honest and they could tell that. The interview was quick and he said I was approved. The interview told me I had to wait 2 1/2 to 3 weeks to get my passport back with the stamp. I should have asked for more detail but I was too nervous to ask questions about wait times. Rating : Poor

*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.
