Hello All,
Our interview was on Aug. 9th 2010. We arrived around 6:30Am, we where 3rd in line. The doors opened around 7:30AM. Once they let us in, it was like an airport security check; all items in the tray, and step threw the metal detector. They checked us for passport and P4 and assigned us all a designation letter, and we were allowed to pass on to the next room downstairs and seated next to the elevator. We only waited a few minutes before the elevator opened and another security guard checked our designation letters and allowed a certain number of us to proceed upstairs. Once upstairs we were asked to sit on the right side of the room and wait for our names to be called. Once we were called over the speaker, we were asked to come to a certain window.
What they asked us for:
-passport with copy of bio page
-long form birth certificate plus copy
-police clearance
-sealed medical envelope
-I-134 and supporting do... read complete review

arrived just before 7 am. 2 people already waited. One person got there at 6:20! Bring an umbrella if you arrive early; there is no canopy where you have to wait in the line outside the building.
The security guard let us in at around 7:30. (Do not bring any substantial belongings. A gentleman with a small briefcase was told to leave and come back without it. He had been somewhere at the front end of the queue...) The queue really grows around 7:30 am. You can leave your cell phone and small items at the security desk.
We were taken to the basement and told to wait. (there is a photo booth in the basement, $4 for passport photos).
Security guard came down in the elevator (probably around 8 am) and took the first 4 people upstairs. They called us up one by one to bank-teller-like windows where they collected the medical exam results and the self addressed, prepaid envelope. They gave me a chance to correct any personal info on file such as ... read complete review

I am home from Montreal now and just ripped up my Package 4 letter! It's nice to finally say goodbye to the Montreal Consulate!
I had my K1 interview on Tuesday, August 3rd, and here is a little info on my experience.
I hope you find it useful and comforting at the same time. The prep leading up to the interview is stressful and the waiting long and frustrating, but before you know it you'll be celebrating too!
OK..so my mom and I stayed at Hotel St. Denis on Rue St. Denis (www.hotel-st-denis.com). If you're a CAA member it's pretty affordable. We had a nice big room with two double beds and a big TV for $107/night. Very comfortable, quiet and close to the Consulate. I could have walked but opted to take a cab ride (4 minutes away, $6) on the day of my interview.
Rue St. Denis also has lots of affordable restaurants, including an Italian one next door to the hotel. Delicious tiramisu :thumbs:
On the dreaded Interview Day, I wok... read complete review

Hi all! We were approved on July 26th, 2010 in Montreal. This is our review of the Interview process from beginning to end.
Highlights of the process: Orient yourself with the Consulate Office the day before. You don't want any surprises or getting lost the day of, and knowing where it is and how you are going to get there takes a load of your mind. Before the day of the interview, be sure to organize everything. We organized the IV stuff by the DS-230, and then all supporting evidence. We then organized the AOS stuff by the I-864 and the supporting evidence. We gathered updated financial evidence to prove the AOS, but it wasn't asked for (nice to have ready if necessary). We put this into one packet colored in a transparent blue, and then made 2 copies of everything and organized it the same way in other packet. This proved to be extremely helpful.
Okay, so back to the process. We arrived at 6:00 am. We were the first there and to my surprise ... read complete review
