We got to the consulate at about 7:15AM on November 20, 2009. There were about 20 people lined up in front of us. At about 7:50AM, the doors opened and we slowly filed in and went through security checks. They don't mention on the form that liquids aren't allowed, but they do check for it. I had my hand sanitizers in my purse, which they let me keep, but forgot about my USB key, which they temporarily took away and gave it back after my interview. At about 8:30, a group of us sat in a room right next to an elevator, and a security guard took us up to the 19th floor. We then went to counter 14/cashier and got a number (A1, B2, C3, D4, for example). The cashier was really nice and gave us our number C8. We had to wait a while for our number to be called. At about 9:30AM, our number was called and we went to counter 10. A nice lady went through my file and made sure everything was filled properly (everything was fine) and gave me a slip to pay at the cashier. Since we didn't have enough o... read complete review

After I posted my medical review, I thought it would only be appropriate to share my experiences with you all about how it went at the US Consulate. I was able to communicate with them via e-mail several times, and they were always able to get back to me the next day. When it came to scheduling my interview, I e-mailed them to let them know that I wanted to schedule my medical the day before my interview, and make sure that it would all be done in the same week so I wouldn't have to go back and forth between Winnipeg and Vancouver. The next day after I had sent the e-mail, I received a reply, getting the date that I wanted as long as I faxed my checklist.
Anyways, to my interview! I left my hotel at about 12:30ish as my interview was at 1:00pm. I headed over to the Consulate in a taxi, and got there at about 12:40ish or so. To get into the Consulate, you have to go through one door, where there is a security guard standing there. Because I was a little bit early and beca... read complete review

We stayed at Le Dauphin Centre-Ville the night before, which was a five minute walk to the Consulate. (If you don't care much about complimentary breakfast, the hotel is a great place to stay. Their morning breakfast selection is very lacking, however.) Ashenflowers and her fiance bumped into us in the lobby, and recognized us from our picture. Was neat running into people we knew from VJ.
Our interview experience was fantastic, despite the cold. Knowing that a fair few VJ members would be arriving, we left very early, and were there for 5:30am. We were the first in line, then Ashen and Arabella joined us at around 6am with their fiances. Chatting with them made the wait seem like nothing at all.
The doors opened at 7:30am, and we were given letter A. Be mindful of the items you're not allowed to bring in. We were sent down a tall flight of stairs (hard to navigate with numb toes) to the waiting room in front of the elevators. We weren't given a sheet sayi... read complete review

Hi, Just a short review as all the other reviews with detailed info are superbly done!
Hotel: 1 Rene Levesque (5 blocks from embassy, Simple clean modern rooms $65-$100 night, Has kitchenette.
We took a cab since it was raining $6 , arrived as 2nd in line.
When we entered security was a breeze as we were prepared (no phones,etc..)
Once upstairs, were called in to window, where we submitted xpresspost (XLARGE) envelope to the very friendly agent at the window, then told to have a seat and wait for our name to be called.
Once called, proceeded to room 7, a small room with bank teller like window,
The consular officer swore us both in, and asked general questions such as how we met, when we met, then she asked about an overstay from 3yrs ago in the U.S. (we replied we had an approved extension of the i-94 on a B2 visa) Which she wanted to see. Unfortunately we did not bring it with us. I asked if she was able to retrieve it on her c... read complete review

Let me start off by saying how relieved I am that this part is over .
I arrived in Montreal Sunday night and stayed at les square Phillips. Very nice place and 5 min walk to consulate.
I got to the consulate at 630am.... And it was cold. So make sure to dress warm especially if you arrive early. I was first in line. We were let in at 730. The security staff was welcoming and helpful.
Went down the stairs and waited for another guard to take us up on the elevator. Once we were there we sat on the chairs waiting for our letter to be called. I was called and went to the corresponding window. The lady was super nice asked me how I was. She basically looked at my already submitted forms to see if my parents name and all the addresses were correct. Gave her my medical...xray was pointless to bring. She took my fingerprints. Then I returned back to the waiting room. By that time... Around 815 the room was packed. I waited about half hour to be called by name. I wa... read complete review
