Sorry for the late review. My interview was on July 27th 2015. 10 AM. Montreal Consulate.

I will keep it brief. I parked on side of the building opposite star bucks. If you are parking on the street, I suggest having some one re-fill your parking meter.

Dont expect to be served on time. My appointment was at 10AM, I was served 3PM.

You go thru security kinda like at the airport. Dont bring any bags with you.

First window they asked for my civil docs originals and I-864. She was really friendly.

You are given a number near the security and that number will be yours for the whole day.

More waiting than I was called to a window.

The interview literally took 5 mins. Young white male, very friendly person as well.

Only asked how we met and what line of work I do.

And that was it! Thank you everyone for your support.

Had the interview last week. I arrived at the consulate at 6:50AM, got inside the building at 7:40AM, left at 8:30AM. I was #2 in line.

The documents they are asked me were:
- Appointment letter (the one that contains your appointment date, method of payment, selected loomis location etc.)
- Passport and photocopy
- 2 passport photos
- Birth certificate and photocopy
- Original police certificate
- Original letter of intent to marry signed in the last 30 days
- I-134 & my fiance's 1040 tax return for 2014 (I had paystubs, W2's and his employment letter but he didn't need itit wasn't requested)

The questions I got asked were (in no particular order):

- How did I meet him
- When did I meet him for the first time
- When did we get engaged
- Have I ever been arrested
- Have I ever entered the U.S. illegally
- Have I ever been refused entry into the U.S.

The visa interview process went very smoothly! Despite being greeted by gloomy skies and a light mist of morning rain, we arrived at the embassy just around 7AM. There were just a couple of people in line ahead of us. Since there was no real direction about line formation, we just stood there until the guards showed up around 7:30 to enforce a proper single-file formation. Of course, we ensured we were near the front of the line since we had been waiting. (*note - you DO need to be a bit nice-aggressive with the other people in line because they will try to cut and push*). We had a 7:40 AM appointment and were called to the front of the line, given a card (#1), and sent inside. We went through your basic metal detector process, sent down a set of stairs, and into a waiting room. From previous reviews I have read, I knew exactly what to expect. The advice about sitting/standing near the elevator is true. Once the guard opened the elevator to allow people in, we made sure we quickly ent... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I just went to my interview at Vancouver today at 10 am . I came out of the building at 2:20 pm . It was almost four hour wait , in a room where there is no tv nor magazine but your own documents to look at . You're not allowed to bring cell phones or food or water with you and you need to leave your big bag outside of the building at the security check entrance . Try not to drink water cuz once the let you go up the elevator to the waiting room , there is no washroom for you to use . You'll need to leave the building and go through the check and line up again . Thus , eat something but no drink before you go . I almost fainted when close to 3 hrs waiting . the interview part was easy only took about ten minutes less than ten questions . I keep my answer very simple . I heard the guy before blah blah blah about he and his fiancée reunited after 15 years . Then the officer asked him whether they both had previous marriage and how they settle divorce and where the kid and custody .....m... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

This is my experience getting my K-1 visa at the Vancouver consulate in July 2015, with added info about the medical exam. My memory is a little fuzzy, so my apologies if I can't remember something. Warning: The following account is long.

The medical:

Dr. Cheema's office is in Surrey, which is far from where I was staying. I took public transit, which is easy with Google Maps and online trip planners, but it took about 1hr 20 minutes. The office is in a small strip mall. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. At the front desk, the nurse collected my photos, vaccination records, and checked my appointment confirmation letter (DS-160). I had also printed off the packet 4 confirmation, but she did not look at that. She also checked ID (my passport) and I think she also took a second piece of ID (I used my provincially issued ID card), but I can't remember exactly.

The medical exam itself was very short and perfunctory. Dr. Cheema asked some questio... read complete review
