I arrived at the Consulate at 7:00 a.m. and was fourth in line outside. At 7:30 a guard came and opened the doors. He told the couple who were second in line that their bags were too big and that they'd have to bring them back to their hotel. I really felt bad for them as the guard wasn't sympathetic at all. He checked my letter and passport and let me inside. Another person inside checked my letter, passport and asked to see proof that I registered for Loomis courier service. I showed him proof of registration and he crossed my name off his list and attached a label to my passport. I then went through security (just as you would do at the airport). I was then directed to walk downstairs to a waiting room. I sat close to the elevator. At 8 a.m. a guard came down and opened the elevator doors. I went straight to the back of the elevator and when the door opened on the 19th floor I was the 3rd one out and thus got ticket # C3. Approximately 5 minutes later I was called to Win... read complete review

My husband picked me up from the Buffalo airport early on August 1st. We drove through New York and up into Ontario, and finally Quebec. Our timing was really good and we arrived in Montreal at the Marriott Hotel Champlain around 4:30 in the afternoon. That hotel is a bit more pricey, but we were splurging a little, and it was pretty close to the Consulate. He and I took a short rest from our trip and then went out to eat at St. Hubert's before walking all around Montreal. That night I prepped him on everything I knew about the process and showed him all the documents I had put together all neatly in expanding files. I had one huge evidence expanding file and another smaller file with the documents we had filed or obtained throughout the immigration process starting with a copy of our I-130 at the USCIS. Because of VJ, I was well prepared to go to the Consulate.
The next morning, on August 2nd, hubby and I woke early and left the hotel around 6:35 AM. We walked the 15 m... read complete review

I got to the Embassy at 6am and waited in line. (Dress warm!) Once in the building, I went through security and got in the elevator. Best tip I received was to go to the very back of the elevator, you'll be the first one out. Wait in line, pay your fees and get a number. You will get called up to a kiosk twice to show your documents. The final time I was called up was for my interview. Wonderful gentleman who was to the point, very sweet and then proceeded to give me a great Halloween gift! All in all, other than my wait time outside, I was there for two hours.

Overall, very good experience.
Woking Medical:
To keep this short, showed up at 6:05 and was 5th in line. I'd recommend trying to be early, since in general, you get out in the order you arrive. Tests themselves were easy and fast, very nice (but efficient) staff. I was done all tests by 9:00. My only complaint is that we had to come back at 10:30 (for xray results) and again at 1:00 (for sealed envelope/immunization record/xray CD). Seems like they could have grouped these together rather than having us take three trips.
I got the additional sealed envelope for AOS. When I first went up to give in my forms, I asked about this, and they said they were happy I was doing it proactively. In order to get the additional envelope, I brought two photos (rather than 1) and a bank draft for $400 (rather than $350).
All in all, it went very smoothly for me... BUT, I spoke to a girl there who had used a lawyer for this whole process, and she sho... read complete review

My Fiancé and I stayed at Le Square Phillips Hotel; VERY close to the Consulate - just around the corner - and walking distance to Old Montreal and Saint Catherine Street. We were at the consulate at about 6:30AM and we were the first ones there. Soon after we arrived, another lady lined up with us. We chatted together a good 40 mins which made the time go quickly. Soon, there was a line up of about 8-10 people behind us. I expected a big long line before 7:30 but it was a lot shorter than I read in other reviews. We had WAYYY too much backup documents with us. I was very worried we'd forget something or they'd lose our Packet 3 and that we'd need to scramble to make a new one like I've read on other reviews. Once I seen that the 'normal' people only took one single folder, I felt pretty dumb to have 4 of them...and they were stuffed! haha
At 7:30ish a guard started taking people in one at a time. My Fiance, the petitioner, had no problems accessing every aspect of the... read complete review
