I arrived at 8:00 am for my 9:30 appointment. After going through security and taking the elevator up to the 19th floor, I got my number (C-7) and waited until 8:30 when they started to call numbers. I was called around 8:50 and submitted my paperwork etc. and paid my $100. I then had to wait again to be called for my interview. I was called at 9:25 and was asked 3 questions:
How did we meet?
When are we getting married?
Where will we be living?
They also took my fingerprints (index only) for biometrics and I was done. Took about 3 minutes total and I was out of there by 9:30.
I'm happy to be done with this stage, and will be crossing the border at the end of May!

Interview went fairly smooth. App't time was for 9:30 am but I got there at 8:30 and already I was the 12th person in line. App't time is irrelevant because it's first come first serve.
Waited 1 hr to see first woman who asked for birth certificate, copy of BC, police check, affidavite of support, letter of intent and the 3 papers I had to fill out. After paying was sent to sit back down.
Waited 1 hr 10 mins to see the "interview" guy. He asked me what we like to do together, had I been to Washington before (where I am moving to), if my family was coming to visit and asked when the wedding was going to be.
THAT WAS IT!!!
I waited all thes months and stressed over nothing.
Left for home the next day and had them Express post me my package because it wouldn't have been ready til after 2:30. I received the package 2 days later.
Best word of advice is be overly prepared initially and then it ... read complete review

The embassy is located smack-dab in the middle of downtown Montreal. It was relatively easy to find, although there are no big signs or flags or anything. The enterance is around the corner, off the main street it's on.
Everyone there was very nice, including the security guards. We arrived at 7:30, and were among the very first people inside. We were the first couple interviewed for CR-1 that day.
At about 8am we were taken up in the elevator, and after getting our number and showing our appointment letter, we sat and waited until about 8:30. Then we went up to window 10, and handed over our number, all of my information and my passport. We then sat again.
At about 9am, we were called up again, and went in to room 7. The woman behind the glass asked us a few questions, like where my husband and I met, when we got married, and if I'd ever had trouble with immigration/customs or the law. Then she said everything was in order and that... read complete review

The Vancouver consulate was pretty good to us. We got our visa! It was a very anitclimactic experience. After waiting so long it seemed like such a simple process. We walked to the embassy the day before and it is a bit hard to spot if you don't know the exact address. We were looking for U.S. flags and all that jazz lol. Basically it's just a tiny door in the SIDE of the building. The security was nerve wracking. You should definitely bring the minimum amount of stuff. Don't bring anything like electronics or large bags or anything that is on your interview letter. They will not hold it for you at the door. Once again as others have observed, the lack of restrooms where you have to wait is not convenient, especially when nervous. Avoid drinking fluids the morning before. The guard saw our interview letter and took us to some seats in a hall thing off to the side of everyone else waiting for other things. I was surprised that we didn't even go into a private room for the in... read complete review

My experience with the consulate was both good and bad. When I recieved my letter in the mail it said my appointment date was November 13, 10am 2006. I was shocked because by then all my stuff on my check list would be expired which was pointless. I sent an email back asking what the problem was and they informed me they had made a mistake and it was supposed to be FEB 13 10am 2006. I was so relieved I got a new letter a couple days later. Anyway though my point out of this don't be afraid to question them, they make mistakes too. 
My interview started off getting there by bus it was actually pretty easy and the bus goes within 2 blocks of where you have to be. When I got there, I found the place on the SIDE of the building where you stand out till it's your time, the line is kind of confusing but just go tell the officer your there and ask him what to do. He told me to come back in 30 mintues cause I had got there early. Lots of places to eat aroun... read complete review
