My husband was first in line at 6:30am but he decided to have a smoke. When I joined him at 7am with our son we were behind a lovely couple. It was cold and a windy. At 7:30am the guards took pity on us and let us in first.
Security wasn't a problem, even when my husband forgot he had his blue tooth ear bud on him. He just left it up front and we got it on the way out.
We went down some stairs and waited near an elevator. Then up to the 19th floor to wait more.
My husband went to the window alone so I don't know what all was asked. He came back and said he was finger-printable. I guess that's good. Then more waiting and he was called to a room. I tried to go with him but was told to wait. In a bit my husband returned to take over holding and entertaining our son. He was such a good baby for us.
In the room a very nice woman asked me to swear an oath. Then she asked for my ties to the US. I provided printed statements of a US chec... read complete review

Hey everyone! Currently at the Eaton Mall, leeching their internet. :D
My mother inlaw and I woke up about 5am. We stayed at the Delta Montreal, which was only a block or so from the Medisys Medical Clinic. At 6:45am, my MIL headed off the consulate while I headed to the Medisys building. I picked up my results without any problems, which was a big relief. They proceeded then to tell me that if there were any problems, they would have given me a call right away. (I didn't write a medical review since mine LITTERALLY mirrored La Souris's review. However, I forgot to mention that they are not testing for HIV anymore, but Syphilis)
So after picking up my results, I headed to the consulate. There were already 3 groups of people waiting. I met jmd77 and her fiance, another couple going for an IR-1 visa, and of course my MIL. They were all very friendly, and time flew by pretty quickly seeing as everyone was talking with everyone. Around 7am-7:15am is when the l... read complete review

We had our interview today and wanted to share our experience as we have monitored all of the reviews for sometime on VJ and found it to be very helpful. So we just want to thank those who updated this information and hope this helps some other people who will be having interviews in the future.
First of all, it was very cold (-9C) this morning and we decided to try to be there around 7am and not try to be letter A. We arrived around 7:10am and were fourth in line. Since they take A-E up the elevator in one group, this really is okay. They do go in the left door for the screening, so that was helpful to know when you line up. BTW, around 7:30ish there must have been about 25 people in the line. After clearing security when we were allowed to go inside, we were taken to the 19th floor as a group with A-E(we were E). We were upstairs around 8am. Everything you read as to the security screening (i.e. no phones, etc.) and the metal detector, and how helpful the screener... read complete review

We showed up at 1pm (both benefactor and fiancee) and after the usual security checks, we were shown up to the 20th floor, where we checked in with our paperwork which took about 10 minutes. There was a 40 minute wait before my fiancee was asked for her fingerprints and then another 20 minute wait until we were "interviewed". It was rather anti-climactic (not that I was complaining), as it was all done at a counter. The lady was very pleasant and having looked through our paperwork, she first asked her to swear an oath stating that everything that she had submitted as true and then asked 4-5 easy questions:
1. How did you meet ?
2. How/where did you meet your fiancee ?
3. How much does the benefactor earn (she asked this to me) ?
4. When did you get engaged ?
5. When are you getting married ?
6. Can I see evidence of relationship ? We showed her the photos that we had taken over the past 2 years
She then told us that the ... read complete review

Arrived at the consulate at about 7:10. There were already about 8 people there and no real clear line up. By 7:30, there were probably around 20 plus and people were trying to cut ahead of those who were waiting. I think a reason for this is that everyone gets an appointment letter saying they have an appointment at 8 and then get stressed about being late when they see all the people. So be prepared for people who eagerly want to get ahead of you. One hint is that when they open the doors, they ask that everyone line up single file to the left. So if people who are there early let others know, there can be a clear line up and maybe less confusion when the doors open. About 8 people were in front of me in line when I went in.
Once in, you go through the security. No electronics, no problems. Have your passport and appointment letter ready. I was told to go downstairs and then go to counter 14B when upstairs.
Then I waited in a waiting room downstairs. Onc... read complete review
