First off for the IR1/CR1 bring the following, even if not instructed to:
1 Canada Post prepaid envelope (NATIONAL) Size 12" x 15"
2 Passport Pictures Size 2" x 2"
Both people I dealt with at the consulate were awesome. They were happy, approachable etc.
#1. Name called. Go to window - review paper work - make necessary corrections - provide envelope, passport pictures, letter from medical. Thy didn't want the xray but you do have to bring it. (He told me the xray is valid for 10 years). Sit down again.
#2. Name called. Go to window - take fingerprints. Sit down again.
#3. Name called. Go to interview room. Swear oath to tell the truth.

2. When and how did you meet in person?
3. Who proposed to whom?

The interview at the consulate went relatively well. Our appointment was in the afternoon. We got there early, but we were told to wait outside as they do not let anyone into the consulate early.
There was 2 security checks that needed to be done. The first one at the front door. They confirmed the appointment and then did the usual metal detector check and led us to the elevator.
Upon reaching the right floor we had to go through another security check and then waited. We were called about 15 minutes later.
At the first window, the consular officer looked over paperwork and told us to take a seat again. We waited for another hour or so before we were called to a second window where the actual interview took place.
The interview was very basic...asked how we met, how often we've seen each other, confirmed when the wedding was going to take place etc...
I believe the total interview time was about 10 minute... read complete review

My interview was February 5th, and my mother and I arrived the night before. Took a quick walk after dinner to get our bearings so I knew how long it would take to walk in the morning.
Friday morning, we arrived at the Consulate around 6:30, and one couple was ahead..She was from Toronto and he was from California. My mom left to warm up about 7 and I was quite surprised that it was almost 7:30 before the line really started forming. A guard opened the door shortly asfter 7:30 and one at a time he checked our letters and passports and sent us to security. Just a note..when they say,`empty your pockets of everything` they mean everything, and are a little peeved if you don`t. I made it through security first, got my B and headed down the stairs to the waiting room. The A couple followed then a lady who was being petioned as the parent of a USC was letter C.. if there were any other letters, they never came in that lot. The guard came out, opened the elevator and off we ... read complete review

ok here is my review of the interview that took place feb 1, 2010. I'll be as thorough as possible and very exact LOL
i don't wear a watch well i forgot it so most times are estimates (sorry LOL)
i know we got to the consulate at around 7 am and there were already 3 other couples already waiting, i know the earliest 2 couples where there 20 minutes before my wife and i arrived. COLD COLD COLD i think by the time we were let in we were all complaining that we couldn't feel out toes LOL. I think the doors opened maybe around 7:45am. Went through security, showed our passports and interview letters, also was given a ticket for my keys as the remote was an electronic and thats a no no in the consulate and were given our letters (D - 4th in line) and told to go down the stairs and wait outside the elevator (passport booth here if pictures forgotten or not taken 4 poses for 4$) for a guard to take us up to floor 19. In the elevator the guard asks us for our inte... read complete review

I had my interview for a K-1 visa today and I found the staff of the consulate very friendly, professional and willing to help. When you\'re dealing with government officials you typically find them to be very jaded/bored with their jobs, but I can honestly say that everyone I dealt with at the consulate seemed very happy to be there! My documents were reviewed by an East Indian woman (I did not get her name) who was very friendly and helpful. My actual interview was conducted by an older Asian woman I had read nothing but great things about here on VJ named Hong. She was very personable, helpful and she gave me the impression she really wanted to issue me the visa.
I was only asked three questions about my relationship with my fiance and she did not ask me to see any photos/phone records/etc. However, my fiance was there with me at the interview so I am sure that helped
The questions were:
- When did you and your fiance... read complete review
