I got there sometime between 9:30 and 9:40 for my 10am appointment. There were several lines(9:30 appointments, 10am appointments, US citizens) and thanks to VJ I knew that I didn't have to wait in them, but I still wasn't sure what to do. There were no security guards outside, which I was expecting, so I stood in front of the doors and gestured to the guard with my passport and letter and he waved me in. Security was just like an airport, empty the pockets, take off you belt, coat, that sort of stuff. They went through my file folder/organizer thing pretty throughly and the one guard made a really big point of telling me not to open my medical report, even if someone tells me to. I heard him telling this to the K1 couple who came in after me. Not sure who they think would tell us to open the medical, but whatever.
After this you go up a flight of stairs and a guard will get the elevator for you. On the 20th floor you go through security again, same deal as before. The g... read complete review

I thought they were quick, professional, and very nice! The interviewer had us laughing after too long, and we actually had Eric's K1 visa in hand before noon. We were back on the train before 1PM, headed back to his house.

I arrived at the consulate about 20 minutes early, and went to the front of the line. They let me right in, which ended up being great, since I was the first one there, and 1st to be processed.
There are two security checkpoints –much like at the airport. I had everything in one clear zip up folder and it was easy to search. Security took no time. One checkpoint is at the entrance, and one is when you get off the elevator.
Then you are told to wait in this narrow little hallway with 4 chairs, facing a counter. There are tons of people waiting for other visas, but the K visas wait around the corner.
They give you a paper with directions to put your documents in a specific order, and then they call you up to go through everything. She keeps all the originals at this point, but they give them back to you (except the RCMP report) after the interview and keep the photocopies (I had provided them).
She will ask you to go down the ... read complete review

* You can't stand and wait near the elevator anymore (they are WATCHING from a camera and they set you straight quite quickly to "step away from the elevator!"), but you still exit from behind...
* They are telling you different windows to check in then previously posted
* They didn't give us a "number" (like C1, 2, etc.) they called us up by name (a bit mumbly too, we were confused, but figured it out)
* The consular was younger than I ever pictured in my mind, very nice man, and felt like we were chatting with a friend; the lady who took our originals was very nice too (even the lady at the cashier window was nice!)
* Don't tick off the security lady with the black wavy hair, she BITES
* Don't wander anywhere outside of the area you're supposed to be in, they are watching you and they will come up and make you feel like an arse! (not to us, but it was witnessed). Sit quietly and follow all directions given!!
* They didn't look at our picture... read complete review
