| Embassy Review : |
I had to fly to Montreal from Vancouver. Stayed at Hôtel Faubourg, which is about a 10 minute walk to the Embassy. The Embassy was opened at 7:30 (I believe) and my appointment was scheduled for 7:45. I arrived at 7AM and there was already a line up. Make sure not to bring any backpacks because the security will not let you through. Any type of electronics will be held at security until you're done. Once you're in, someone will scan your DOS print out and check your passport and will give you a handout on how to organize your paperwork. The handout will have a number, basically your place in queue. Once you passed through security, you'll go downstairs and wait next to the elevator. The elevator will be opened by someone from the Embassy and takes you to level 18 or 19?. You'll then wait for your number to be called. The number system is a bit complicated and the speakers are very quiet so make sure you pay attention. Once your number is called, you'll be asked to hand in different forms. The guy helping me asked for each forms separately so I didn't end up following the guideline. (TIP: I used post-it to divide each category so it was relatively easy for me to hand in each documentation). Once all forms are checked, they'll scan your fingerprint (make sure to press hard, I had to scan mine five times), you'll be asked to sit down and wait for the interview. Within 10 minutes, my number was called; the guy was super nice. He had computer issues and kept apologizing. The interview was very simple, questions like "How did you meet?", "What are your wedding plans?", "Have you overstayed in the U.S?", "When was the last time you met?" were asked. It took less than 10 minutes and I was given a letter of approval! I highly recommend booking an earlier time. By the time I left, there was about 20+ people waiting, and I left around 8:20AM. Also, no where in the checklist says you to print your proof of payment (the receipt for paying the interview fee), but a lot of reviews said it's best to bring this so make sure to have this! As well, I don't think your appointment time matters too much, when I was in line, our spots were given on a first come first serve basis. However, some reviews did mention that you can't be too early as security may turn you away. |

| Embassy Review : |
After 1.5 years of AOS submission, I finally had my interview! I arrived at 12:30 but waited an hour before I was interviewed by an officer. My husband came with me but only I was called into the interview. This was odd because every review I’ve read required your significant other to attend so I asked the lady officer at the end of my interview and she said sometimes there’s no need for the petitioner to be interviewed but it’s nice to have them be there.
Questions she asked were to confirm the information on the application form, asked me who I live with, what I do for a living, how he proposed. Mostly the basics, though one question threw me off, she asked about my first visit to the usa, the second, the third, etc etc. Since I used to live in Canada, travelling to the USA was easy so I listed out like 10 visits to the USA previously. Good thing I printed my i-94.
Forms I gave her are my husband’s new Affidavit of Support, along with employment letter and paystubs because he had a new job, pictures of us and his family, supporting docs of bona fide marriage and my employment letter. I didn’t do a new medical as I rather get a RFE than to waste $500+ to redo a medical that they may not check. Luckily, she didn’t ask about this. At the end of the interview, she advise it’ll take no more than 120 days to hear back on decision. I checked my case two days later on myuscis account and my card is being produced!! |

*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.
