My experience was pretty much as everyone else's, but my batch of applicants were let in couple minutes early before our 8:30am schedule (it was three of us entering at the same time).
I submit my passport first, then was called again to submit all of my documents (photos, birth certificates, mine and my grown children, marriage certificate, legal name change certificate, divorce certificates, mine and my husbands, police certificates, Canadian and from my birth country).
At the actual interview was asked many more questions than majority of applicants:
Address of my husband, and if we are planning to live there,
His phone number,
His place of employment and occupation,
What do I do for a living
How long ago I immigrated to Canada,
How my husband and I meet,
Where did we get married and when,
Who was attending our wedding,
How often we visit each other since we applied,
Where have I traveled in the last... read complete review

This day was a blur but I'll try my best to recall everything.

I got to the embassy at 0933 and was told to wait outside as my interview was at 0945. So I stood there and waited with my parents. A security guard came out to tell them not to lean on the planters as the owner apparently doesn't like that (random info, but I thought it was funny). The officer came out at 0945 to call out the time. I entered, put my wallet and binder in a bin so that it could be scanned (like at the airport). I walked through a metal detector then was told to put my phone in a locker they provided and keep the key. So I did. Then I went in the elevator, up to the floor I was told to go. It's basically one big room with a lot of chairs and windows. It's dead silent, no one is talking except people at the windows.
I stood at the window the officer from downstairs told me to stand. No one was at the window so I was a bit confused. Someone came eventually, took my passport, gave me a numb... read complete review

Review Topic: Medical Appointment

Medical Date/Time: March 30th, 2021 / 11:30am. K-1 Visa medical.
Total duration: 2 hours. Gender: Male.

When I arrived a few minutes before my appointment time, there was a lady sitting outside of the entrance to the clinic on the 22nd floor checking people in. I gave my 5 passport photos, vaccinations records, interview confirmation letter, and confirmation of payment for the interview. Once I was accepted in I went to the receptionist who took my driver's license and photocopied it (they asked for my passport but any government-issued photo ID is acceptable), gave me back my vaccination records and told me to wait.

I don't remember how long I waited but I was then called by a nurse who checked over my vaccination record again and said it was very rare for someone to have all their vaccinations done beforehand; I suggest you vaccinate before going because the prices range from $50-200 (I had MMR, Hep A + B, flu, TD - tetanus and diphtheria without ... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I took an Uber from my hotel at 7:40 AM and was outside embassy at 7:50 AM, it was really windy and cold that morning. We stood outside till 8:00 AM and the guard came out to let us in. One guy returned from US 3 days ago and was not allowed to enter the building. After I was let in the guard asked my name and crossed it off on the list and then asked me questions regarding Covid symptoms. After that I was taken to the security check where I kept all my documents and coat in the tray for screening and then I was given a locker for storing my phone. Then another guard took me to floor 1 where I was asked to report to window 6. I stood there for 10 minutes and no one came and then a lady showed up and asked for my passport and gave me a ticket with a number. I was called again at the window where I submitted my marriage certificate, birth certificate, updated 2020 taxes and W2 and was then given the domestic violence pamphlet. I asked if 2019 tax transcript is required and the lady said... read complete review

Review Topic: General Review

The process of the interview was very efficient. The entire process took 1 hour and 15 minutes for my wife and daughter. We were very well organized with our documents which helped the process. Most of the time was spent as the interviewer scanned documents. The number of questions were minimal and at the end of the interview they ere both approved. The Consulate staff was very polite which reduced some of the anxiety of not know what the interview would completely entail.
