Went early, approx. 6:30am, was first in line. Doors opened at 7:30. Got the letter A from the security guard. Security was similiar to airport security. Waited in a room with an elevator for a guard to take us up. Sat in a huge waiting room for approx. 15 mins. Called to a window, gave the man behind the glass all the original docs he asked for. Sat down for 15 mins, went back and had fingerprints taken, sat back down. In approx. 30 mins was called into another room, took an oath to tell the truth, was questioned on various things (ie where did we meet, what does my husband do for a living, etc). Was given a 221 (g) for additional documents at the end of my interview. Went back home, sent in the required docs, waited approx 10 weeks and finally got approval!

This went smoothly. One thing I should point out is when you arrive at the Consulate, you will line up outside. Once inside the waiting area, there is no line. The actual line forms when they start letting people go up the elevator to the interview room. Sit as close to the elevator as you can, so you can get a good place in line. The lady who interviewed us was very nice. Everything went great.

Sorry for the late review but here it is 
Had my interview on Dec 21, 2010 @ 9:00am
I Arrived in Montreal on the afternoon of Dec 20, stayed at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth . . . it's about 2 blocks or so from the US Consulate . . . the walk is pretty easy. It was only like 5 or 6 min and if you are driving to consulate there is a parking lot right across from the consulate and they charge 15 flat for whole day parking which is not so bad because if you talk to the guy he can let you go out and come back and park it there if you want to shop because its very close to st cath street which have all the stores.Anyways back to the review. I have been reading the reviews for a while and almost everyone says to arrive EARLY around 7:00am. I was there at 6:50am but it was a very cold morning and even though i was dressed pretty warm I was freezing my butt off. At 6:50 am no one was there it almost seemed like if I was at the wrong place because... read complete review

Had my interview on Dec 17, 2010
Arrived in Montreal on the afternoon of Dec 16, stayed at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth . . . it's about 2 blocks or so from the US Consulate . . . an easy walk, maybe 5 or 6 minutes.
My appointment was for 9:00 am, but having read previous reviews I planned to be there waiting before 7:30 am. I was up and checked out of the hotel by about 6:30 (does anybody sleep the night before their interview?!). So I went down to the train station/plaza under the hotel and got a bottle of OJ to kill a bit of time and then casually walked over to the consulate. Got there at about 6:30 (I guess, no watch and I left my cell phone back at the hotel) . . . no signs of life and no one else there. Took an extended walk around the block, same thing. Walked a block back to Tim Horton's and got a donut and hot chocolate and killed some time inside . . . it wasn't super cold outside (maybe -10 C), but not warm either. At 7:00 I walked back to the c... read complete review

Over all we had a really good experience. My fiance arrive at 6:45am but it was cold and snowy so he was the only one there until about 7. I arrived around 7:15 (Despite the precaution I still got a bad cold!) Right before my arrival a family arrived and right after another couple. When the guard came to open the door THEY BUDDED AHEAD OF US! I couldn't believe it. I was more upset about it then my fiance who had waited outside in the freezing cold for almost an hour. But I just couldn't believe the lack of courtesy. Anyways, we got a letter C so it wasn't such a big deal. Everything was as everyone else describes...
Go through security, head to basement, wait to go up elevator, go up elevator, wait in seating area to be called. I would like to note that there are toys in the waiting area which I think is very thoughtful of the consulate to provide.
First I was finger printed, then had some confusion over paying for the interview. We had a lot of trouble ... read complete review
