The Customs officer was friendly, asked me basic questions, stamped my passport/visa, and sent me to secondary inspection. Secondary Inspection was a long wait, but again the customs officers were friendly. I took a seat, and was helped within 45 mins. Customs took my package to review, searched my bags, asked me questions like: when I was getting married, how long have we known each other, what my fiance's profession was, and what I wanted to pursue as a career once everything went through. Then the customs officer showed me the way to the gates, and wished me luck. |

Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada
Review Topic: K1 Visa

| Embassy Review : |
I went to the montreal consulate for 7:30am (my appointment was at 8). There were only a handful of people waiting to go throguh security before me. Went through security, then sat in a waiting room for about a half hour. A guard came to get the group of people in the waiting room, and brought us up to the 19th floor. We were given two tickets with a number, and waited until our number was called. This took about a half an hour. Once my number was called, I went to the booth, exchanged forms,then the lady pulled out my file, made notes, sent me to pay the fee, finger printed me, and asked me questions. She then gave me the second ticket back, and told me to wait in the waiting room. This took another half hour. Was called in for my interview, the interviewer was very friendly, asked me very basic questions about my relationship, gave me a welcome letter, and a slip to pick up my visa the following day. They apparently dont do that very often, only for special circumstances. I was back in my hotel room by 10:15am. The next day I went back to pick up my visa, was in the consulate for almost two hours. Someone had attached my file with another, I had to be interviewed a second time, wait for the two files to be separated, and wait for the consulate to fix/print my visa. During this time I had missed my train home, and had to pay full fare for two tickets. My experience regarding the interview, and the events leading up to the interview was good. I had no problems. It was the frustrating experience that I had the following day that took away from the 'very good' experience that I had. If that makes any sense? |

Pearson International Airport was my POE. The Customs officers were very friendly. They asked me basic questions, searched my bags, explained the basics of how/when to apply for AOS, and showed me the way to my gate. They also checked to make sure that I did not miss my flight  |

*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.
