Review Topic: K1 Visa

At the interview they asked for:

Intent to marry letter, police record, I-134, tax transcript 2019, beneficiary birth certificate and a copy, two passport photos, beneficiary passport, proof of visa payment.

No proof of relationship or domicile required.

She was asked if she did her medical and she said yes and that the records were emailed to the consulate. She asked if they wanted the yellow envelope (x rays and vaccination) and they said “no that’s yours to keep”.

Overall a very straight forward interview and less than an hour from walking in the door to leaving.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

My interview was on November 9th, and it was for myself and my 18-year-old son, for a CR1 & CR2 visa:

Getting There:
I left my phone & smart watch at the hotel, and then realized as soon as I left that I had no way of telling if I was on time or too early! If you are going to do this, I suggest also taking a printed map with street names on it – Montreal is FULL of construction detours, so it is quite possible you will have to detour at some point, even if you are just walking. And also make sure you write down the actual address – I almost didn't see the building and how to double back to find it! I knew what block it was on, but the entry to the consulate was fairly nondescript, so I almost missed it. (It is right between the RBC bank and a Pharmaprix.)

Security:
You have to arrive just on time, and you go through airport-style security. We had to give our interview time, show our passports, and use hand sanitizer to be... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

We arrived right on time based on other reviews/feedback not to show up early. When the interview notices came through my son's interview was actually listed as 15 minutes after mine. I explained to the security guard he is a minor so he was let in with me and I was instructed me to tell them upstairs why he was early. We went through security and I was directed to one of two windows upstairs. I stood in front so they could see me and a lady came right over. There was a ledge to put my binder of documents on and a hook for coats. The lady taking my documents was nice.

I only gave them the documents they specifically asked for as they asked for them. They took all of my originals first and then my son's. I gave them one photo each which she scanned and gave back to us. Our police certificates had expired so I got new ones which I brought to the interview. These are the only ones I gave them. Likewise, I brought a new I-864 and they only wanted that one. I did not have a 2... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Interview was scheduled for 7:45 am on Nov 18. There was another person scheduled at that time as well so the officer only allowed one person at a time. I was asked to wait outside until called. Around 10 minutes later I was called inside, asked COVID questions, went through a metal detector and placed my files through an x-ray scanner. Once I took the elevator upstairs, i was asked to wait for counter 5, 6, or 7 to open up. Counter 7 opened, a very nice woman asked me for my documents (only originals - passport bio page, actual passport, long birth certificate, RCMP police check, 2x2 photo, and i offered her my court records). She then confirmed my address and phone number and I updated my wife's address and phone number. This process took less than 5 minutes. I was then asked to sit down until an officer was ready for me. About 20 minutes passed by and my name was announced on a loud speaker to come to counter 1. The a nice gentleman asked me questions in regards to our marriage (whe... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Had my interview today and it was a great experience.
Do not show up early you will be turned away. Arrive as close to (within 5 mins ) or exactly at your appointment time.

You will go through airport like security. Do not have backpacks etc. Just documents and what’s needed. They will take your phone and in my case Apple Watch and put it in a tiny locker and give you a key.

You are asked to check in where they take your passport and ask you to take a seat. You’re then called up again and they start requesting the documents and go through that with you and lastly proceed to finger print you. You will then be asked to take a seat again.

You are then called up to another window where your interview begins. You swear the oath, finger printed, and are asked questions. My interview with my interviewing officer was nice. It felt more like a conversation and it had a really nice flow. After about 10 mins he said everything w... read complete review
