Hello everyone,
I am not usually a review submitter but since I read so many reviews that can make you anxious I thought it would be amazing if I could relax at least one person here.
Here is my timeline:
i130 was submitted on April 2023 and approved on April 2024. NVC approved on May 2024. I received an interview letter on 25th October 2024 and my interview was on December 9th, 2024 at 8:30 am.
I have been staying with my husband in Denver since August 2024 as I lost my job and I didn't see any point living away in Canada anymore (Which the US consulate and NVC advised against but I did it anyway with plans to continue living in Canada if I get any 221g or Ds5535 in case I have any delays).
I booked my medical with Dr. Lyndon in Downtown Toronto as they were the only ones available on short notice ( I didn't book my medical earlier which was a mistake on my end as I have been waiting on my Canadian citizenship oath ... read complete review

I had my interview in Montreal on December 13th. The previous reviews on this site did a great job of describing the process. Overall it was a great experience and all of the staff were friendly, professional and patient. Here are a couple comments:
- you have to line-up outside the building until they call in the time of your interview appointment. It was a little chilly outside so take that into consideration
- no laptop bags, backpacks or large bags are allowed to come in. You need to find a business nearby if you don't have a car available
- bring a book to read to pass the time as you leave your phone in the security area
- first you wait for your number to be called and then review some info and supply some documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate, photo, passport)
- then you can called to get your fingerprints taken
- then after waiting you get called for your interview (done through a glass barrier)

My appointment was at 10:30 AM on October 31st in Montreal and I arrived at 10, I was the only one at the entrance and the security guards were very polite. Placed my items in the bins to have them go through a scanner similar to what airports hav, after that I was asked to place my watch, phone and headphones in the locker and got my purse and folder back. I was given a number with a small list of the papers I needed to get ready & took the elevator to the first floor. Once there I sat in the waiting room, only one other person was there at the time.It took about 5 minutes or so before I was called to the first window.
From there I was asked to provide :
- Passport
- 2 Passport Photos
- Birth certificate
- Affidavit of support (I-134)
- My fiancé's Tax returns for 2023
- Proof of petitioner's residence
- RCMP Background Check
She told me to sit back down in the waiting room to look if they had received my... read complete review

Please see Insta: @ggtambols for updates/questions!
You're scheduled for x time, but once you get in, there's multiple booths where people are doing their interview. I was #521 in queue and by the time I got inside the building, They were still at #512. Was inside for about an hour and my fiancé was waiting for me outside thinking it was only going to be 15 mins. They will not let your fiancé in and you won't have your phone to let them know when you're done hahah. The interview only took around 15 mins total, and the questions were really simple. They didn't even look at my proof of relationship!
* Note that I am a Canadian citizen, and we've been together 8 years at the time of interview.
Documents they looked at:
- Birth certificate
- Affidavit of support
- Letter of Approved petition
- Proof of petitioner's residence (we used his driver's license)
- Passport
- Police Report
- 2 Passpo... read complete review

I had a great experience at the Montreal consulate. I'll try to be as thorough as I can in this review for anyone who's feeling anxious about their upcoming appointment.
A warning for anyone driving into the city, google maps had me getting there with an hour to spare, but because of traffic accidents and construction delays along the way I made it there exactly at my appointment time.
There is a paid parking lot behind the consulate with flat rate parking (cash only iirc) There is street parking in the neighbouring streets but some of them seem to be permit only, and they do monitor and ticket there.
There isn't any outward facing signage for the consulate, but you will see people lining up outside the glass doors next to the RBC. The security guard will come out and call out appointment times 10-15 minutes ahead. In my case, I got there right as they were calling the next batch, so I told him my appointment time and name, and he let me in. Once yo... read complete review
