Review Topic: K3 Visa

I read and STUDIED the Montreal Consulate reviews before my husband and I ventured off to Montreal for our K-3 interview on June 11th 2009 at 8:30am. We stayed at the Hyatt which was about a 5 minute walk to the consulate entrance. The best advice given is to be the first ones to line up! We were there at 6:45am, the 2nd couple showed up around 7:05 and then about a dozen others by the time the doors were opened at 7:30.
My husband and I had our passports and interview letter handy and the guard looked a little surprised that he didn't have to ask for them. He asked my hubby what his relationship to me was and what he did for a living then let us in, we took our coats off and went through security while our stuff went through ex-ray. Again, the guards were impressed with us and one said, "Wow, you guys were really informed of what you can and can't bring in here!" That eased my nerves just a touch. We got the famous letter A clipped to our documents and had a seat... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

The interview went very much as everyone says - lots of stress and waiting around not doing much, followed by the joy of the statement: "Welcome to the United States!" There were basically two parts - a "screener" who was very methodical checking our documents, and the consular officer who did the actual interview. Both were professional and handled our case with compassion. We are APPROVED!

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Got there in by one, and was one of three people to be interviewed. I was last. Handed in forms, did fingerprints, then was called up to the window. Spoke with the woman, Hong, and she was very nice. Asked basic questions, hardly looked at proof of relationship. We were worried about the finance part, but we have enough assets that it satisfied her. Visa was approved. She also smiled and laughed with me.

Following along with what others have advised about the Vancouver consulate, it really hasn't changed from what other people have posted before me.

The entrance is on the side of the building, look for the security guard in a white shirt. There is a Starbucks in the bottom of the building. If you arrive early you can kill time there. Since it was summer time, we waited at the park on side of the building. Not really a park, but there are some benches were you can sit. It allowed us to see the entrance door and keep an eye on things.

Arrived at 12.30pm for interview at 1.00pm. The security guard asked if we were there for a K1 interview, told us to come back in 15 minutes. We sat on the benches and then 10 minutes later the security guard waived us offer.

She had to take off her light jacket, the security guard fumbled through the pockets. Put everything and I mean everything in to the plastic bin before stepping through the metal d... read complete review
