Please note: our situation has no children, no prior marriages, and no criminal records involved.
My appointment was on a Tuesday (April 2024) for 0900 and we got there at 0840 (fiance came with me). I was asked to wait outside. It feels like you're walking into an RBC but the door to the consulate is to your immediate left.
I was brought into the first set of doors at 0855 - she asked for my appointment time, name, and passport. She used my passport to confirm my name on her list. She gave it back to me, told my fiance he cannot come in and should come back in a couple hours, and I headed through the US Consulate doors.
Security:
The security room is small and immediate upon entry. I was asked for my passport and told to turn off my phone. They placed a sticker on the back of my passport with my name and interview date details, along with a barcode. I took off my jacket and placed my items in the security bin, then I walked through the sca... read complete review

They were very nice and the questions were straightforwards. If you have a Quebec birth certificate I’d suggest to get a certified translation as I was asked for one (glad I had it on me). The questions included: how long you’ve been engaged? When did we meet? Do we have any kids? What does my fiancé do for living? And if it was our first marriage.

Waited quite a while but that’s fine, I did both my children’s CRBA’s there and knew what to expect. The officer said “I intend to approve you but our systems are down so if something comes up in your file lookout for your email, otherwise this is how you track your visa when it gets shipped back to you”. So left worried of course and 5 hours later my tracker said my visa was issued. Shipped out on a Friday received it on the Monday.

Disclaimer: This is my experience as a young white woman who is a Canadian citizen and who has never travelled anywhere besides the US & Canada. I have no children, and this is mine and my husbands first marriage.
My appointment was April 19th at 9:30 am. I got to embassy at 9:10ish, you have to wait outside. A security guard came outside with a list and asked me when my appointment was. I told him 9:30 and he brought me inside to the lobby. He took my passport and marked my name off of a list. He then led me through to where they do the security check and gave the passport to the person there.
For the security check, I had to take off my jacket, turn my phone off, remove my keys from by bag and put everything in a bin to go through the x-ray. I had a small fanny pack/ cross body bag. I had jewelery on (rings, necklace, bracelets) and I didn’t have to take them off. They only wanted to know if I was wearing a watch.
There are small lock... read complete review

My experience at Montreal is exactly the same as all the other detailed reviews posted on this site. So I want to thank everyone who posted theirs. I left my backpack at the hotel front desk, brought only my documents and a paperback book to pass the time. Overall I spent just shy of 2 hours at the Montreal office, 45 minutes waiting, 10 minutes document check and fingerprinting, 60 minutes waiting, 5 minutes interview.
Unfortunately after my largely painless document check and interview, they told me to fill out a DS 5535 for additional travel information and family information. So I have no idea when I could actually move to the USA or if I'll even be approved at all at this stage.
Just FYI, I have not visited any "suspicious" countries, I've lived in Canada for 30 years straight, I didn't work for any sensitive info or government agencies. I was born in China, not sure if that's what triggered the additional check.
