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.

We had a good experience in Montreal. The building was not as easy to find as we thought it would be, so we were glad that we located it the day before our interview. There was no sign on the outside of the building. We found it only by the street number by the door.
We lined up early outside of the building on the morning of our appointment. Eventually, we were called inside based on our interview times. After passing through security, the two of us were allowed up the elevator whenever two other people came out. We arrived in a waiting room filled with 30 or 40 people. The whole process took several hours. I was glad that I had eaten breakfast and had coffee before our 8:15 appointment! There were restrooms and a water fountain available.
After much waiting, we were called up to a window at a counter. A gentleman reviewed some of our documents, address, etc. Then we sat back down to wait some more. Eventually, we were called to another window with a cou... read complete review
