 Wooohooooo!
Interview date was set for my birthday, November 13th. We showed up at the Vancouver Consulate at 12:45 for my 1:00 appointment. There was no line-up and only one other person was there for an interview and his was a last minute appointment otherwise I would have been the only person there. The guards were very nice but did their job which was to check coats, purses etc. and make sure we had no electronic devices. It was pretty much like going through security checks at the airport except we did not have to remove our shoes. We went through 2 security checks.
We waited until approx. 1:15 and then I was called to the window B first. A man took my documents as requested on the checklist. I signed the DS-156 in front of him. I did not need the copy of the picture page of my passport. He did of course, take my passport and the copies of my birth and marriage certificates, after checking the originals. He then told... read complete review

Hey y'all,
Here's my MTL experience and review(sorry if it's kinda long)....
My journey started in Toronto Tuesday night. I had a friend come with me and we got on the Coach Canada bus at 9pm headed for Montreal. We stopped in Kingston at midnight for 30 minutes. We arrived in Montreal at 3:45am. It was cold and kinda spooky at that time of the morning. I didn't know north from south, even though I had a map. A taxi driver stopped and asked me where I was going. He spoke very good english, so I said I needed to go to the US Consualte. The taxi only cost $7, but I gave him $10 for being so helpful.
The Consulate is on a side street, that looks like a semi dark alley and you need to look up to see the street number on the building, along with the Consulate emblem. There is no American flag. At 4am I decided we needed to find a coffee shop to stay warm and figure out what we were going to do until it was time to line up. We did not sleep at all... read complete review

So, I arrived via cab ($32 chez aunt) at the Consulate @ 6:49 am. Good thing too because I obtained 1st *prize* by 2 mins! It was crazy cold and my legs were shaking for the 40ish mins I was outside (jeans are not a smart idea in the cold). So I lined up on the left side of the front doors and like clockwork they opened at 7:30 am sharp. They looked through my little purse, my jacket pockets and everything really well. Got the letter *A* which guaranteed that I'd be the first one up!
Waited at the bottom of the stairs while security got everyone into the place. Then the guard came up and took all of us with Letter cards into the elevator to the 19th floor (walked to the back of course). Sat in the waiting room for a few mins then heard a name called on the PA system. Turns out, it WASN'T my name!! The girl who was next in line after me got called 1st (and it sounded similar) so I went!! innocent.gif . That got cleared up after a few mins so I had to switch to the other b... read complete review

Arrived at 7:10am for an 8:15 appt. - we were 5th in line so rec'd the letter E and when the doors opened at 7:30 those of us with letters A-E were processed through security and personally taken upstairs first. We all went to a window to hand in our paperwork then sat in the waiting area to be called back in order. During this time, more folks came up the elevator and began to form a line at the cashier - this was confusing as our group had to get in the back of this line as we were processed and then told to pay at the cashier. Howeever, once the cashier opened the line moved pretty quickly as most folks in the line were then told where to go for their particular need. By 9am we had paid our money, been fully processed and went in to see the final consular officer who asked the big question of "where did you meet" and then told us everything was OK and the visa will come next week in the mail. Out the front doors by 9:10am!!!
