Review Topic: K1 Visa

The interview process was completely painless. Only one thing worth mentioning here is that any type of cloth bag or briefcase is not allowed. We had to go stash ours in the middle of some parking lot and hope it wouldn't get tossed or stolen. Paper shopping bags and plastic bags seem acceptable.

I didn't even have to bring my X-ray. They told me to just give it to a doc when I settle in here.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Our interview was scheduled for 9:40 am. We headed over to the US Consulate at 7:30. There were a few people milling about outside the doors, and a couple security guards were there. The consulate itself is completely nondescript - there are no signs, and the entrance is off the side of a building - if you didn't know just where to look for it, you'd have no hope of ever finding it.

At 7:45 they opened the doors and let us in. We were amongst the first allowed inside. They checked my interview letter first, and Holly's US passport. We were sent through a metal detector, and our belongings X-rayed, just like at an airport. Some people who got in before us had things they were not allowed to have (cell phone, etc) and had to sign them in to retrieve later. As a result, we were the first ones sent through to the elevator waiting room. We sat down and waited for the elevator to open (it had a temporary barrier against it).

At 8:00, a guard came in, removed the... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

The interview at Montreal was flawless. The building (and entrance) was easy to find, there was a modest linup but no chaos. Thanks to info from vj I knew exactly where to go and what to expect. I arrived at 6:45am - a bit too early! - and returned later with coffee and newspaper in hand to wait at the door. Doors opened at 7:30, passed through security, after a brief wait an officer escorted everyone to the 18th floor. Took numbers, called in to submit documents (passport and medical info), brief wait again, and then the "interview." Interview consisted of four questions - any trouble with law (no), any trouble crossing the border into U.S. (no), when did you meet, when did you get married. The interviewing officer then told me that our visa was approved, and that I should expect the official green card in the mail within 2-3 weeks.

We're now happily together... it's over, and it was all worth it!!!

Review Topic: K3 Visa

Well I finally got my K-3 Visa after waiting so patiently!! My interview was at 10am and of course I got there early. So I stood in line. There were people who had bags and cell phones and were turned away at the door of the consulate.

My actual interview happened at about 11:30am after all my paper work was checked out by the lady in the booth. I DID NOT need an affidavit of support for my K-3 visa(I-134 form). So I guess you can take that out from the US embassy profile for Vancouver. However, the lady infront of me had a K-1 visa and they did ask her for the affidavit of support. So I guess ONLY K-3 visas don't need one! The lady told me to go and pay $100 for application fee.

The guy who interviewed me was cool. He was joking with me while asking me questions about my wife. He asked me where we met?,How long ago?,Why do I want to move to the US?.Why she doesn't want to come here?..He also asked me if I watch the show "24". I said No. Why?. And then he ... read complete review
