Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

As mentioned by other VJers Montreal has one of the most courteous staff I have ever seen, the whole process was completely painless and over in say hour or so once it began.

Interview office was a nice blond lady, very good just asked two questions and that is it. Again if you have Electronically filed, make sure you have DS-230 filled up and just follow advice on VJ about what time to be there and how to check in and wait at elevator.

I like to thanks all the VJers who have helped us along the way, especially to Saylin thanks million.

Now waiting for passport in DHL and then right away POE.

Review Topic: F-2A Visa

My two sons and I stayed at the Square Phillips hotel just a 2 minute walk away from the Consulat and it was great!

We got up early had breakfast and headed to the Consulat without our cells, keys, etc... We got there at about 7h10 and there was only was other person in line. But very shortly thereafter a lot more people started lining up.

At 7h30ish the lights came on and they unlocked the doors. We entered and the officer took our passports, appointment letter and started preparing us to scan our personal items. He looked to find our names on the sheet. Our names were not there. He asked another officer what to do since I had my appointment letter but our names did not appear on the list. The other office said "send them up anyway". I was glad to hear that.

We were sent down to the basement to wait for the elevator. We were crammed into the elevator as much as was humanly possible. We could not move an inch. We got off the eleva... read complete review

I can\'t believe the time has come where I actually get to write one of these. I just got back from my interview in Montreal and I want to write down everything before I crash and forget it all!

My interview was at 1:45 but I showed up at the doors at 7am. I was the third person in line. The doors opened at 7:30 and the man at the door asked for my Packet 4 letter and my passport. Once he went over that, I went inside and was met by security. I had to hand over my paperwork, my bag, and my sweater and walk through the metal detector. After that, was given all of my belongings back and told to go downstairs and wait by the elevator.

Got downstairs and was only person down there. We waited until 8am when the elevator opened and we lined up. We went to the other side of the elevator, they packed us in like sardines, and off we went to the 19th floor. Once up there, a woman greeted us and asked to see confirmation letters and passports before we were instructe... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I had my interview on May 4th 2011. Overall the whole experience was pretty decent and painless. Just a lot of waiting!

I stayed at the Marriott Chateau Champlain, about 2 or 3 blocks away. Super nice hotel. I took as a cab to the consulate as it was raining and I was worried I would get lost. I arrived a little after 7 am. I was about 3rd in line. There was a family of about 4 or 5 in front of us, Canadiana013 and her fiancee, and a guy slightly older than me. They opened the doors at about 7:30 am, and were told to move back. The family was blocking the doors. They had bags and a stroller and were asked to move aside. The mother took the small child out of the stroller and took the stroller back to the hotel. After they were put aside to reorganize themselves, they let us through. I showed them my Packet 4 letter but they wanted the printout of my interview date and time with the confirmation number. I took that out and they checked it against a list. My... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

First, compared to what we read about other Consulates, Vancouver is awesome! We requested to submit package 3 via email and they did so, speeding up the process significantly. We scheduled our interview withing 3 weeks of submitting package 3, so that was quick. We scheduled the medical on a Wednesday and interview the next day. Please note there is no package 4 anymore except the email receipt you get from CSC once you book online and pay fee. Arrived at Woking around 530AM and found another VJer waiting What a small world! We were the first 2 in line and Woking staff arrived about 615AM and they instructed everyone to try and stay in the order you arrived in. However, once the gates were opened, everyone had to pile into the elevator and a few folks took advantage and cut into line. Us VJers stood strong and kept our 1&2 spots, though Very efficient after that and we were out in less than 2 hours. We had our intervi... read complete review
