Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 10, 2009 Embassy Review : We failed to print the correct part of DS-156. The consulate accepted the rest of our documents with instructions to go down the street to an office supply where we could fill out and print the DS-156. Unfortunately, the government web site that hosted the form was down for most of the day and we couldn't finish the form. We returned to the Consulate and related our problem. They checked and verified that the problem was on their web site. They then decided to complete the interview and told us we were approved but that we must complete the DS-156 and return the next day. We were finally able to complete the form late Wednesday afternoon. We were at the consulate at 9:00 AM Thursday, were checked thru security and sent up to the 19th floor. The consulate normally has a training day on Thursdays, so there was no else there except for consulate employees. We had a brief final interview and were told to expect the visa next week. Both gentlemen we dealt with were very courteous and apologised for the problem caused by their web site inspite of the fact that the original mistake was our fault. 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
