What a great experience!
As per the suggestions of everyone on VJ, we got to the consulate around 6:30. We made the walk from our hotel the day before, just to make sure we knew how long it would take.
Once we got there, we were the 4th in line. I told Hubby that the girl with the purse would be turned away, and the guy with the briefcase. Correct on both. I think both of them ended up just emptying the contents and throwing away their bags... they weren't messing around.
We went through security- super easy- walked straight to the elevators. Once the officer let us in the (TINY) elevator, we shuffled to the back, rode to the 19th floor, and were able to get a C3 ticket. They did not call the numbers in order. Windows 1-4 were for document intake, and I didn't go up with Hubby for that part.
About 15-20 minutes after document intake, our number was called to window 8. We had a SUPER nice officer who just basically had a con... read complete review

My fiancee's interview was June 28th. We arrived the night before via rail from London Ontario and tried to get a good nights rest.
We arrived to the consulate around 0650 and we were seventh in line. Everyone in line was real friendly and we quickly made friends with the couple behind us in line. At 0730 the security guards opened the door. As you enter the door a security guard will ask to see your "Appointment Letter" which is which is the packet 4 email. Make sure you print out all the pages because the last page has the case number which they look at. Once you pass the first guard there is a consulate worker just inside the door who checks to see if you registered for the loomis courier service. We just used the appointment confirmation email which has the 'reference number' on it which is what they are looking for. We saw two people turned away because they did not have this. Next you have to pass through a standard metal detector which was nothing. Just... read complete review

My wife's interview was on June 18.
I am american citizen and we have been married 24 years. My wife was worried since we purchased a home in michigan last September and started the immigration process in mid-august 2011. She "visited" our home in Michigan several times in the past 9 months and stayed as long as 1 month several times before returning "home" to Canada. She was worried this would " show up " on some record and somehow be a problem at the interview. it did not factor into the interview at all. we did meet one woman in line who had not seen her hubby for 7 months when she was turned away at the border because she took tools in her car when she visited her husband in minnesota. ( her husband was renoating a home he had purchased in MN )
We arrived 6:15am and were 2nd in line... we found out later that we lined up on the wrong side of the door... we lined up on the right next to the cigarette ashtray on the wall. When doors opened at 7:20 the guar... read complete review

My interview was on July 5th. My fiance and I arrived at the consulate about 6:45 and there were already 2 people in front of us. Within 15 minutes or so another 4 or 5 people arrived. By the time we were let in about 7:30 the line was almost to the corner. The 1st person in line was waiting for her whole family. She had a bunch of kids and a husband. By 7:30, the husband who had all the papers had still not arrived so they had to wait. This put me second in line. They checked our passport and confirmation email, then we got sent through security. We headed downstairs and waited near the elevator as close as we could to it. At 8 ish they allowed us all on the elevator. We tried to get to the back. Somehow another girl pushed her way through and was C1, then the girl who was first got C2 and I got C3. We were actually called up to the window first but since there are 4 windows all people between c 1-4 were called up at virtually the same time. The guy at my window took forever and we en... read complete review

Appointment was at 8:30 so we arrived at 7:15, we were 9th in line. Make sure not to bring a purse bigger than an envelope or they will make you take it to your hotel etc. My husband had to take my purse back to ours (it was the size of a file folder), but he had no problem meeting me inside after. We were let in shortly before 8. They bring you to the basement and then you are all led into an elevator and taken to the 19th floor. Once you arrive you are given a number. I was C-9. You are first called up to windows 1-4, they don't exactly go in order so don't be thrown off. (I was 9 so window 1 had number 1,5,9,13 etc, and window 2 had 2,6,10,14) so if another window finishes first a later number will be called on before you. This was the easiest part of the process, the consolate worker goes through your documents, confirms your address and where you currently work just the basics and makes sure all necessary documents are there.
After this you wait for windows 7 or 8. T... read complete review
