Review Topic: K3 Visa

The interview was about 10 minutes and very conversational. Basic questions about how did we meet, how long did we date, when did we marry, why were you attracted to her, where will you settle, what do you plan to do in the U.S. Why did you choose the U.S. over having your wife immigrate to Canada.
Both of the other K interviewees that day had problems because they did not have originals of key documents (divorce certificates and police certificates).
For my case I was approved on the spot and told to return that afternoon.
Other useful things: Even though there is a line up for "visa applicants" go directly to the security guard and tell them you are there for a "K Visa appointment" You jump to the head of the line and go right to your interview room. Remember to do it when you pick up the visa as well (in the afternoon there is a line for people picking up their visas). Basically just tell anyone official looking that you are there for a K visa and you get "spec... read complete review

Vancouver K-1 Interview: June 4, 2007 @ 10am

Just a little background information: I was originally going through the Montreal consulate and then transferred to Vancouver. I have my wedding scheduled for August 18, 2007 and yes, while I know I wasn't supposed to schedule anything before having the visa, things got held up in Montreal (4-7 months of waiting at least) and I needed to get my visa asap. I made plans to visit an aunt in Calgary and had things transferred to Vancouver with very little difficulty, definitely the best thing I've done yet.

Hotel: I wanted to get a hotel that has been mentioned by some of the others who went to Vancouver, but none were available because of a big World Physical Therapy convention going on. I ended up going on to Hotwire, picking the general area around the consulate and choosing the 5-star option. I ended up with the Pan Pacific Vancouver. A verry nice hotel, $159 per night, pricey, but worth it. It was about a 7 mi... read complete review

Review Topic: K3 Visa

Vancouver was wonderful to deal with! They got me in for an Interview 9 days after I faxed them my checklist. They treat K Visa people like VIP! You get ushered right in and up the stairs, right into the elevator to floor 20 and you have a seat right in front of the windowed booth area. I was there for K3 and two other girls were there for K1. There was one man handling all three of us. He would call me up to the window, ask me a few questions,tell me to have a seat, call the next girl up,etc. It was all pretty painless until he got to the Medical results. He asked me what medical condtion I suffered from. Turns out the Doctors office checked off the box that said I suffer from a Class B Medical condition!! They finally got a hold of the Doctors office and I was told that this would have to be corrected and asked if I could come in the next day, instead of that afternoon to pick up my Visa. Aside from the glitch with the Doctors office, it was very quick and easy.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I had a great interview. It was May 15, 2007. All the staff were very friendly.
First of all I stayed at the Days Inn, which is only 1 1/2 block walk from the Embassy. It was a clean room, small...but clean. Everything I needed.
I arrived at the Consulate at 9:20 and waiting outside in the time slot indicated. I was really the only one there outside. Glad it wasn't raining. A guard came out and asked what I was there for and I explained K1 interview. So he said in 10 mins stand in this line...again I'm the only one. About 2 mins later another guard came out and asked what I was there for and then he said come with him and let me into the little room to be cleared through security. Did that...went in the elevator up to the 20th floor and thats where all the people are....lol. Went through security again and directed to sit down in the waiting area. I was 1 of 3. I got there first and was done first. It was painless. The nice lady went through all my ppwk. O... read complete review
