Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 11, 2008 Embassy Review : Overall the experience at Montreal went very well! I got to the Consulate at 7:15am there was about 3 people in front of me in line. 7:30am, doors open and the security guard starts letting people in. Then go thru security Then I'm told to go downstairs and wait for a another security guard to take everyone upstairs. Guards gets there at 7:45am and takes letters A-D up in the elevator Then we all sit and wait for our letter to be called, I was letter C at around 8:30am my name is called to the Pre-Interview Went thru all my forms, verifying information on it gave in my mailer and medical Took my fingerprints Then she told me sit and wait for my name to called at around 9:20am my name was called the interview they give me back my original documents then i was sworn in that everything on the forms and that is said is true was asked a few questions, nothing too hard, where is your husband today? have you ever been denied entry into the United States? Asked about my current job (i work at future shop so i mentioned that it is owned by best buy) Went thru the photos we sent Then the officer said that he is going to go ahead and get this processed and that they will mail my passport to me back with a visa sticker in it Then he asked if I had a chance to visit Montreal and i said that i was going to that day (my friend came to montreal with me) The actually interview took about 10-15 mins Afterwards I ran back to the hotel so that i could call my husband to tell him the happy news!! The waiting was the most nervous i have ever been but it was quite relaxed in both pre and interview stages 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.
