My interview was scheduled for 8:30 but I got there at just before 8:10 because my Uber was far faster than I thought it would be. There were about 9 people ahead of me which was weird because they were all waiting for interviews at 9:15! There were two people behind me for 8:30 as well. At 8:15 the security guard asked me what my interview time was and he let me up right away. I walked in, handed the lady my passport, put my things in the X-Ray machine and then put my phone and smartwatch in the locker and headed upstairs.
It took about 10 mins for my number to be called to go to the first window (Window 5) and she confirmed phone numbers and addresses and then asked me for the following documents:
1 Passport photo
Police Certificate
Birth Certificate
Marriage Certificate
My husband's divorce decree
My husbands 2022 tax return and 2022 W2
She took my finger prints and then she sent me back on my way to the waiti... read complete review

Interview was this for 8:30am, I arrived to the consulate by 7:45 as I’ve read about the long lines. The security officer will call out appointment times and will take you out of line once it’s your time. Went through security and waited in the waiting room until my number was called. I waited approx 20 mins, was asked to give passport, marriage certificate, birth certificate, criminal record check, one passport photo and 2022 taxes, took about 5-10mins. Waited another 30-40 mins until my number was called for interview. The officer asked; who is my petitioner, how did we meet, when did we get married, is it both of our first marriages, what does my spouse do for living, what was my longest stay in US, if I was ever denied entry, overstayed a visa, or have committed a criminal offence, where I travelled in the last 5 years. The officer then advised she will be approving my visa and I’ll receive it in the mail in 2 days. Overall the interview itself was under 5 minutes. I ... read complete review

I had a wonderful experience at the Montreal Embassy. After such a lengthy process (17 months - 524 days exactly) we were approved on the spot! I stressed out so much about the interview process and getting my approval, and in the end, it was easier than I could have hoped. They approved us based on my husband’s assets alone, which I did not expect after the NVC suggested a joint sponsor (we didn’t end up needing one!). Everyone at the embassy was SO kind, especially the woman who collected my documents when I first went in and the officer who ultimately approved my case. I am feeling so very grateful and could not have had a better experience at the embassy in Montreal - what a relief!

Despite being incredible stressed prior to waiting for the interview, it went very smoothly!
I brought everything on the list and then some so I felt prepared but also worried I did not have everything.
I arrived 20 minutes before, my interview was at 9:15am. When I got in line, they were calling 9am, and the 9:15 immediately after since there were no 9ams waiting. Still had to wait for those in front of me who had a 9:15 slot.
Once they let me in, I gave my passport where a sticker was put on the back and two slips with my number were put inside my passport. Then went through security, and up the elevator to the consulate floor. Sat down and waited until my number came up on the screen. I was called up to the first window for document collection where they asked for the following:
- Passport & one of the number slips given to me during the security entrance
- Original Birth Certificate
- Original Police Certificate
- Original ... read complete review

My (Mia) interview in late May was relatively simple (thankfully!). It was at 8:30 AM (I think earlier interviews are generally better because there's less waiting: by the time I got out at 9:30, there was a long line outside), and I ended up arriving there at between 8:28-8:35 (I didn’t check exactly), at which point I was asked what I was there for and asked to go through the security protocols. I took a tote bag and was able to bring it in to the interview.
The first portion was very simple, though accompanied by about 30 min of waiting: I was only asked for my original birth certificate, original police certificates (which they kept), and the original marriage certificate. I think this depends on the person though.
After another 30 minutes of waiting, I was asked to go to another window for the actual interview. I was pretty nervous, but it wasn’t too bad! These are the general category of questions I remember:
1. They asked me... read complete review
