Review Topic: K1 Visa

The trip was very long..it was almost 7 hours from Toronto to MOntreal. Al and I had never been to MOntreal before and the place is like a total foreign place for us. Oh well, we got lost for at least 3 times till we find the Hotel.

Was up 5:45am Feb 01, 2008. Had a quick breakfast and left the hotel 7:10am.

Got there first at the embassy,yet being called third for the interview..I believe because my appointment was scheduled on 9:30am.

Questions were so easyyyyyy...we were asked the usual questions of how did we meet? where to stay when we get to the US? When is the wedding plan? What will I do when I get there?

For the record I will say its so easy...stressed and nervousness I had bef0re the interview were all wasted. We didnt even asked even a single letter or any other forms except for my Birth Certificate, police clearance, picture & passport.

Review Topic: K3 Visa

So my husband's flight got changed the eve of our interview because they thought he was going to miss it and gave his spot to a standby. So he got in at Montreal at about 2:00am. We then had to go downtown where we stayed(and are staying until Sunday). We rented a room at Quality Hotel on Ave. du Parc.

So, we were able to sleep about 2 hours. At 6:40 we headed out and walked to the Consulate. Somehow, I got us lost.... but we stopped at the Hyatt hotel and got directions and everything was good with the world again. When we got there, it was maybe 5-10 minutes past 7:00 and there was only one woman there before us. They opened the door at about 7:25(yay cuz it was cold), and they proceeded to check our stuff. We had to take off our coats, and empty our pockets. We didn't have any bags, just the paperwork in a plastic bag as suggested here on VJ. We were given the little card with the letter B(window 9). We went through the metal detector one at a time. I made it ring b... read complete review

Office/admin staff was wonderful and pleasant.
Once in with the CO, I was put immediately through the wringer.
It all went fine although quite unnerving. (see full review on VJ)
The whole process was quick.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I have nothing but amazing things to say about all the staff at the Montreal consulate. They were patient, helpful and very effective at their jobs.

I arrived at the consulate at about 7:30 and was the 7th person for the K-1 process. I was out of the consulate by 9:30am!

The questions were straight forward and the interview lasted only 2.5 minutes.

A few things to note - the fee is $131.00. A lot of people thought it was $100 but they have raised it. They will NOT accept any Canadian cash.

No electronics, big bags or food and drink are allowed inside. They are very very serious about this.

As i said though, everything turned out great and I got approved on the spot!

The consulate in montreal gets a 10 on 5 from me, a great experience!

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Copying and pasting from the forums:

kay the question here is how much to type.

We stayed at the Hyatt hotel, because they said it was close (two blocks, no issues) The hotel was pricey, but then they had lots of little extras and I LOVED the steam room and the pool was very nice. Included a breakfast buffet that had the "pain au chocolate" which is a crossont (spelling) with choclate in it. It was also attached to a mall so we did not have to go outside in the winter if we did not.

Taxis we know are $35 from the airport. (Most take visa)

So the day of the interview, I have gotten a few hours sleep, thinking that I would not get up in time, I set the alarm clock, had a wake up call, and the cell phone.

We were there at 6:30 (I really wanted to be first) and we were. The others that came arrived just after 7 (like 2 mins after)

Doors opened at 7:30, go through security. As you know you get the car... read complete review
