Review Topic: K1 Visa

Thumbs up to the Montreal consulate!
I went in really early, extremely nervous. Sat in the waiting room with a 3 other ladies who were getting their K1 visa that day. Only waited about 15 minutes before being called to a window. The woman took all my documents, didn't speak, just looked everything over. After a couple minutes of this she asked me to go sit down and wait to be called. Waited about 10 minutes, she called me back and asked me where my RCMP police background check was. Horror! I realised I had forgotten it! She told me to go sit down, I could probably send it in or bring it the next day or something. Sat down again, waited about 20 minutes, was called to a tiny little room seperated in two by a thick glass wall. A nice young man asked me a couple questions (where did you meet, when, how, etc) and then told me everything was in order. I asked him about my background check, told him I lived litteraly two blocks away from the consulate. He gave me a little pass to allo... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I had my interview on Tuesday, May 09 in Vancouver. It was great, much easier than expected. I worried much more than I should have. We arrived there about 9:45 and the appointment was for 10 o'clock. There was a large line, but thanks to VJ info, I knew that we don't have to wait in that line, so we went up to security guard and showed him our letter, and they took us to the elevator. Security is pretty extensive, so it's best to bring only necessary things, and no electronics of any kind. The office is on the 20th floor, where we had to go through security again. It was good that I knew there is no washroom there, so it's best not to drink to much prior to your interview. There were three of us for K1 visa and a lady for K3. After few minutes I was called up to the window and asked to present documents in the following order:
Passport and photos, birth certificate, medical, police certificates, affidavit of support, OF167 (which I didn't have, but it is required, and i... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Well we did it!

My visa was approved on April 19th in Montreal. I thought I would share my experience.

The consulate itself is located on the corner of Rue St-Alexandre and Blvd. Rene Levesque. The actual entrance is on Rue St-Alexandre (for the consular office only). I have attached photos at the bottom of this post to help so you can recognize the building and know exactly where to go =).

If you chose to stay at the Hotel La-Tour (I would highly recommend staying here - at least for the first night), you only have to walk outside the front door and across the street to reach the consulate. Cab rides from the airport to the city centre are capped at $35 minus tip (Hotel La-Tour is located in the city centre). Also - two blocks up the street (Blvd. Rene Levesque) is a Tim Hortens, so you can easily get a decent cup of coffee and a bagel before the interview.

The Consulate has its own entrance to the building, directly i... read complete review
