We arrived at the Consulate at about 7.10 am as I thought it opened at 7.00 and we didn’t really want to wait in the cold and possible rain. Doors weren’t open and there were 6 groups in front of us. Doors opened at 7.30 and allowed one group in at a time. One couple soon came out as they could not find their Loomis receipt.
Inside the door a man checked my Loomis receipt against a list and checked my passport, I then went through security which is like going through airport security except you don’t take your shoes off and you have less things. I made the machine beep and was wanded down but that was OK. Then down the stairs to wait for the lift. In the waiting area is a photo booth if you have forgotten your photos, but no toilets. The waiting area quickly filled up including the couple who had been turned away as they had found their Loomis receipt.
At 8.00 we were let into the lift and sent up. We were met off the lift and had to show our appoin... read complete review

I was the first person there, and the first person out. I can say that for certain.
I arrived at 6:30am, stood in line (which was just me at that point). Waited, waited...eventually another couple showed up and we started talking back and forth. They were very nice and told me I should probably hire myself out instead of people getting lawyers. I told them it was all visa journey.
Anyway, 7:30 rolled around and we were let inside, I went through security no problem and down the long stairs. I sat right next to the elevator and got the first number from the little window (C1). I plunked myself right down of the number board and waited.
About 5 minutes later I was called up, a nice (but brisque) man took my documants, fingerprints and medical. He told me to go sit down. I waited about 15 minutes, was called up to the next window and a lovely gentleman asked me some questions about Kevin and I while he stamped away.
5 minutes ... read complete review

Arrived Vancouver afternoon Tuesday March 20th, 2012. Horrific drive from Kelowna to Vancouver. Took the Connector and Coquihalla - high mountain passes. Severe winter weather ground traffic to a complete stop for 2 hours while highways sorted out plows and graders. Stayed at the Burrard Inn - 1/2 block from Woking Medical and 15 minute walk to US Consulate. Smaller boutique style hotel. Our room was recently renovated. Clean, quiet, very helpful staff, on site parking. Elevator broken and we were on 3rd floor. Long day.
btw I booked appointment on-line for US Consulate. At first I booked for February as my Fiance was in town and we thought it would be good to go together, but I had sent my passports (for my daughter and myself) away to be renewed. I was worried about having "at least 6 months validity" and they were expiring in October. Anyways, passports didn't make it back in time. Rescheduled for March appointment. Paid the US Consulate fees on-line as ... read complete review

I arrived at 6:40am, for my 8am interview. There was no one else there, not even workers. The sign on the door said they open at 8am. I thought I'd showed up way to early until ten minutes later when the next person showed up. By 7am there were plenty of people in line and I was glad to have gone so early.
At 7:33am they opened the door, and since I was first in line, let me in.
Someone checked to see that I had my appointment confirmation letter and my passport.
The next guard did not say anything to me. He just tapped a sign on the desk that said profane language and verbal or physical abuse is not tolerated and will result in your removal from the building. He then said empty your pockets and turn off your cell phone. He kept my phone and gave me a ticket. Having my phone did not add any extra time really. Maybe 10 seconds. Not an issue. I walked through a metal detector with no problem. They let me keep my house keys, wallet with pape... read complete review

Visa...APPROVED!
We returned home from Montreal last night and we couldn't be happier. I'll try to be as detailed as possible in my review, since I found the detailed reviews helpful in my preparations.
A bit about our unique situation. I am the USC, my husband is Cdn (born in Ireland). We met almost 7 years ago while we both lived in (basically) border towns. We married almost 6 years ago and I went through the whole Cdn immigration process so I could move up to be with him. We've been living together in Canada for the past 3+ years. (Yes we were married for 2 years before we ever lived together).
We actually DCF'd our I130 back in Aug or Sept 2009 in Toronto (when it was still allowed). That was approved but then we started having second thoughts about leaving Canada so quickly. We decided to get some things done on the house (prepping it for eventual sale) and also to wait for me to get Cdn citizenship. That way, if we ever want to come back, we can, wit... read complete review
