Our interview was scheduled for Monday Dec 6th, 2010 at 8:00am. We drove from Toronto to Montreal on Sunday Dec 5th and stayed at the Quality Hotel Downtown which was only a few blocks from the consulate. On Sunday evening we drove by the consulate to find out exactly where we needed to go and where to park. On our interview letter it states not to show up more than 20 minutes before your scheduled appointment, so on Monday morning we drove by the consulate again on our way to get breakfast. It was about 7:20am and there was already a couple waiting outside. We decided to get our Mcdonalds to go and eat in the car while we got our parking spot. We were able to park on the same street as the consulate. We put the maximum amount in our parking meter which made us good until about 11:00am. We walked through the consulate doors at exactly 7:40am. There was only one person in front of us going through security so we were just delayed a minute or two. As we passed through the metal... read complete review

I first and foremost want to thank everyone that posted complete minute by minute details of their stories from the time they arrived at the US Consulate in Montreal until exiting the building after the interview. I really appreciated all the information, and it sure helped in easing the nerves and preparing for my interview. I arrived at 7am on the button and was very surprised that no one else had arrived before me. (The cab driver insisted I was in the correct location)! Not even a minute later, a group of 5 people arrived, consisting of a family or three and a another couple getting married. By the time the doors opened a 730am, there was approximately 9 people in total waiting to get in. I received the proverbial "A" card and was escorted into the building where all your belongings are scanned. As advised on this blog, I only took in my binder of required documents, and a small purse, that contained nothing but some cash, a credit card and my passport. I did not bring any el... read complete review

DV 2011 Interview at Montreal in October - placed in administrative processing 221g - how long wait?
Both my wife and myself had applied for the DV2011 lottery. We were common-law in Canada when we applied in 2009. When we applied for the lottery, we included each other as spouse even though we were not legally married as there was no option for common-law in the lottery and we did not think we were single.
A few months back my wife won the lottery. So, while filling up forms we sent to Kentucky (we entered our marriage date as the date on which we had our common-law marriage - i.e. November 2008).
Also we got legally married in July 2010. We went to our interview in Montreal in October 2010 and we provided evidence of both the common-law and legal marriage.
The interview with the consulate officer was okay except a few small things that I found weird
- for e.g. he asked us to provide an address where we would be liv... read complete review

I had my medical and interview all on the same day so I was worried about how that would all work but it is fine, plenty of time for both.
I arrived extra early to the consulate, waited to go in, they need 2 security guards before allowing people in. I was escorted to the 20th floor, told to wait until my name was called to window B, about 20 minutes. Once called to window B, I was asked for all my documents, she gave me a sheet and said she needed everything in this order, sent me to the cashier to pay my $350.00, went back to window B with the receipt. She looked it over then told me to have a seat and once she made sure everything was here I could go back and get my medical results and come back for my interview, she even offered to keep my extra stuff there until I got back so it was less for me to worry about. I had a huge folder full of pictures, extra copies of stuff, anything I thought I might need for the interview.
There was only 1 other pers... read complete review

Sorry this is so late - life has been whirlwind lately. My interview was at 8am on Wednesday, November 10th. Arrived at consulat at 7:20am, third in line. Doors opened at 7:30am. Brought in and scanned and sent to sit in adjacent room. "Guard" comes in about 10 minutes later and ushers us all into elevator. Sent to the far right (from the elevator) to wait for our names to be called. Called to window 12. Handed over all required documents (she didn't ask for any copies of forms already submitted, nor of proof of relationship). Sent back to wait. Called back to window 12 for fingerprinting. Sent back to wait. Called about 3 minutes later to room 3 (i think!). Young, happy, gentleman working there. Made if VERY comfortable. Entire interview took about 5 minutes. Back in hotel by 9am and on the road for the 12 hr drive back by 9:30.
