Embassy Review : |
Arrived at 6:45am. One other person was in line. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day!. After approx 20 mins more people arrived. We all lined up behind the left door. My husband and I received letter B by the guard and proceeded up the 4 stairs to another guard. We had to remove everything from our pockets. The guard kept cigarettes and lighter and gave us a ticket to get them back. We go down the 20 or so steps to the elevator. There we waited about 5 mins and a guard called letters A - D to enter the elevator. We went up to the 19th floor. the 6 of us sat on the chairs and waited for our letter to be called. Around 8:15am we were called to Window 10. A nice, young black woman asked for my appt letter, photo's, Birth Certificate, divorce doc's, marriage doc's, I-864, DS 230, 2009 Taxes, medical results. My medical was done on Tuesday 25th and therefore the results wouldn't be ready until 2pm day of interview, so I provided the consulate with a letter from Dr. Seiden's office stating that I will be back with the results that afternoon. She asked us to have a seat. 10 mins later called up to window again and was fingerprinted. We sat back down. Waited 20 mins and called to interview room 7. ( we were called in before letter A. We later saw letter A guy at our hotel and he said we were called before him because we were a couple, and he was alone...so hint for all of you...go as a couple to been seen first!). Interviewer was a super nice woman, with long light brown/grey hair. Asked to raise right hand to swear we were going to tell the truth. Asked me to sign the DS 230 and while doing that she asked my husband what he does for a living, and how we met. When did he propose to me. Asked last time i was in USA, and last time he came to Canada (she asked because I was denied entry into USA in September until I received my VISA). She asked how we kept our marriage going during this time...we responded with calls, email, chats, web cam and mic. Asked if he has medical insurance through his job. She then thanked my husband for serving the in Military. Then she said our Visa is approved, all we need to do is bring back the medical. She gave me an orange paper stating I need to come back at 3:30pm with medical and passport. We were out of the consulate at 9:15am. My husband asked the interviewer if she was American and she confirmed she was. He asked her how long she was in Montreal for because she speaks English very well. She said 2 years and prior to that she was in Panama. She said they all move around every 2 years. She made the interview experience very pleasurable and enjoyable. |

*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.
