Fast process in Detroit. We were all checked at security, then went into a room or separated chairs. The judge came out and said a quick speech and then we performed the oath. Certificates were handed out as we left. Those working there seemed genuinely happy for us and said "Congratulations" on several occasions. |

| Embassy Review : |
I parked directly across the street from the consulate, it cost $20 but well worth it. Upon arrival, I was told I was too early, you cannot show up more than 15 minutes before your interview time. I waited in my car then went in 15 minutes beforehand. I saw the greeter first, she was pleasant and took my interview confirmation letter, the my passport on which she placed a sticker. I went through security (you cannot bring in a cell phone, if you do they will keep it until you leave) They also kept my remote for my car.
I was then guided through the doors to the left and told to go to the elevator and then up to the 19th floor. I did and entered a large room with chairs. There were huge windows with amazing views of Montreal. The chairs faced windows in a wall which is where the employees worked.
I was given a number and waited for it to be called. The first time it was called was to provide my documentation. I already had everything in order including a few extra things, which they ended up asking for. Be extra prepared! Once the documentation was complete, my fingerprints were taken and then I sat down again and waited for my number to be called again. Once it was, I was called to a different window where my actual interview took place. I was asked literally 2 questions, How did we meet and where did my husband work. Once I had said we were married for 6 years she was fine and we just chatted. Both of the ladies I interacted with were extremely friendly and made me feel at ease.
Once complete I simply left the building and got into my car. Very good experience. |

Timeline Comments: 1I-751 was not necessary for this petition.
*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.
