Hello all,

Wondering if anyone can share their experiences with Montreal consulate and K1 process...

Attended K1 interview yesterday but they said I need to give them the original birth certificate from my home country (Philippines). I did have a document which they deemed not original. Regardless, we are on the process of obtaining one and will be awhile until we receive it. Everything else went fine, though. No other issues with my documents or any questions they asked.

Once I send off the document they need via Loomis (their suggestion):

How long will it take for them to receive and process it at Montreal?

Do I send my original passport with it, so they can put the K1 visa in my passport?

I'm trying to calculate when i will be able to enter the US with the K1 visa. Thanks for your input!
