My interview was in Montreal on June 20th. I took the bus all day from Windsor up to Montreal on the 19th, 'toured' downtown in the evening, then returned to the hotel to pass out while watching a baseball game.

I stayed at the La Tour Centreville hotel that many people mention. It is a fairly decent place to stay with quick access to the Consulate. I asked for a wake up call at 6am but it came at 6:15. I didn't mind since I was awake at 5:45. To find the Consulate, you just walk out the door, turn left, walk to the corner, and cross Rene Levesque. It is the big marble building on the corner.

I got there just after 7am and I was second in line to get in but for some reason I was first to get called to hand in my documents and first to get my interview. I also had walked to the back of the elevator. The document collector guy was friendly. I didn't realize I was supposed to keep that paper clipped to the outside of the medical. I thought it was just instructions to not open the envelope. He said I should have kept it on but it was no big deal. When I went to pay the cashier she stapled my receipt to the Consulate's receipt. I just kept it attached because I didn't want to take it off if I wasn't supposed to take that off too.

After a half hour or 45 minute wait I was called in for my interview. The guy was sitting behind a bullet proof window I presume. He was very friendly and asked me things like where I met my fiancee, what she does, what my co-sponsor does. He asked what I would do when I got there and how I proposed to her. Then he said I was approved and congratulated me. He then gave me an information sheet on moving to the states and a tax info sheet. He then said "enjoy Indiana" and I was on my way. I left the Consulate and then went to have b/fast at the little bistro beside the hotel. It was a piece of cake and I enjoyed the trip.

Great review!! Congrads on the interview victorY!

Congrats

Congrats!! Sounds like it was pretty easy and painless.

Sounds a lot like my husband's interview. I am so glad things were easy for you.

Thank you everybody. Oh yes, it was quick and painless. I couldn't believe how easy it was and wondered why I was so stressed about it.

Because we stress about every little detail in this process. It's just what we do.

You are right. But man does it feel good when it's over. Now I have a reprieve until I have to worry about AOS.

Great Review... very helpful good luck and have a smooth POE experience.

I have the EAD and AOS filled out, I got the Immunization record yesterday. Just need to make copies of a few things and it is ready to go. This part is a little less stressful than the K3 part.

It is nice being back in the US!!

Thanks Lance. I appreciate that.



Good luck to you Stacey.

Congrats to you
Glad to hear MTL was breeze for you too. Sounds like you had the same young fella that I had. Similar questions

Good luck

Congratulations!!!!!!!! .. Let us know when you physically receive your visa

What paper? Do you mean the vaccination supplement that's paperclipped to the package? My X-Ray is stapled to my medical papers... I want to take them apart so I can safeguard that package of papers that's more important than the medical... (remove the staples, I mean.)

Congrats!!

Congrats!

Congratulations!

Trust me...AOS isn't that bad as far as filling out the paperwork. You can get a lot done beforehand, and then all you have to do is wait for the certified marriage certificate to include with your application. The hardest part for us was the wait for Joel's green card. The best part was being able to wait it out together.

Congratulations! Great review.

Congrats!

Reading the Montreal interview experiences make me think back to when I did mine....it's so hard to believe it was only at the end of November last year! Now we're married, and waiting for my GreenCard to arrive in the mail. It's all been less than a year since we were approved for the I-129F.

Anyway...glad to hear your interview was easy as pie!

See????????????????????? and you were all nervous!!! Told you - you would dazzle them.
Good news -this calls for a celebration - when are you moving????
Peace, L.

wow, thats great..
very smooth

Thank you everybody.

I am moving to Indiana in mid-July.

Just another tip for anyone who may have b/fast at the Bistro by LaTour Centreville...you'll need to ask for more than one orange juice. The containers are smaller than child size. lol I felt like I was drinking from a spoon.

super news

Congrats So good to hear people's stories end well Have a safe trip when you get your Visa in the mail

Thank you.

Hey flames, like your avatar. haha I'm not a Flames fan though.

Congrats to you!!

Congrats! We all stress about the interview and are relieved when it's a lot easier than we though. But having said that, I'm still stressing about my AOS interview in August!

Thanks.

Hey misa, don't stress about that interview. I heard it was pretty easy too. But I understand the reason to feel stressed. The people who married legitimately, who love their spouse, who actually live with their spouse, will always do fine I bet. Good luck to you and let us know how it goes.

congratulations!

Thanks for the kind words! You know I'm going to stress even though everything is on the up and up. It's just the nature of this crazy rollercoaster ride we're all on.

Let us know when the visa arrives in the mail and the moving date!
