| Embassy Review : |
Had my F2B visa interview yesterday, things went well and the people there were very friendly. Get the 747 bus from the airport to downtown, it only costs $18 for a return ticket. Don't be afraid of everything being in French, the people in Montreal are very open to tourists and will be very friendly if you even try to say a couple of words au francais.
Stayed at this hotel:
Abri du Voyageur Hôtel Inc
9 Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest
Montréal, QC H2X 1Z5
It was definitely not luxury, but for $80 a night including all taxes it was a steal of a deal and located about a ten minute walk from the embassy. Three minute walk from the 747 bus stop, just get off at St. Laurent and Rene Levesque. Bring ear plugs for sleeping, the neighbourhood is noisy.
My interview was scheduled for nine am, but as many others on here have noted, it is first come first served. I went in at about 8:30am and walked out about three hours later. Bring a book to read as you can't bring in any electronic devices.
Check out Montreal while you are there, it is a cool city. It was my first time there although I have lived in Canada most of my life. There have a great big hill that is visible from the 19th floor where the embassy is located. Walk up the hill! Well worth it for the view of the city. |

*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.
