Congratulations on your approval

Excellent review. BTW when you mentioned you had to give the guard "your papers" what exactly do you hand over prior to being interviwed?

Good luck in all your future travels

Papers I am refering to is anything you're required to bring to the interview. This includes the following:

1) Letter from the NVC regarding your appointment

2) Sealed Medical documentation

3) X-ray from the medical exam

4) Passport

5) Extra Passport Photos.

6) Any supporting documents, like letters from your spouse/fiancee, pictures of the both of you etc.

The first thing you must present to the guard is your appointment letter along with your passport. You will be required to keep this on top of all your documents you bring when you go to the elavator room as you will be required to show the letter they give you.

And yes CR-1 is what we applied for as we are married and it allows me to be a Conditional Resident immediately, unlike the K1/K3 which you are required to file more papers and wait an additional 90 days approximately until your status changes.

Oh yeah, I did forgot to mention that the elevator opens on the opposite side that you enter it from. It was actually mildly entertaining to see people coming up the elevator and facing the other door for as long as 30 secs before realizing that the back door was opened. At least 3 groups of elevator passengers did not listen to the guard's instructions when they were sent up alone.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I hope things go as smoothly for you as it did for me.

Finally, stay at the W Hotel, it's amazingly beautiful and well worth it. They have an Acura Experience in which the hotel Concierge will get a valet staff to drop you off anywhere in downtown Montreal between the hours of 9am and 6pm I believe. Great way to get to a destination then walk back, rather than having to ask for a cab for one leg of the trip. Anyways, I should really post this in my hotel experience.

Update: I just got back home from my trip out east and I received my visa last week Thursday. It was sent to my home and my family received the XpressPost for me at home.

Heading to the States in a few weeks for X-mas. I'll let you know any details from handing my papers to the POE.
