I was first in line. Doors opened at 730 am
They let one in at a time. You are given a laminated sheet with a number on it. You go through security screening and downstairs to organize your documents according to their list. The security guard then has you go in the elevator upstairs where you wait. I was called to the first desk to hand in my documents on their list and get fingerprinted. I was handed the IMBRA pamplet and told to go and wait till i was called again. About 20 mins later i was called for my interview. I had to take an path get fingerprints of my right hand and then asked a few questions. They were how did you meet? (Facebook group called mastiff lovers), when did you meet in person? What was your longest trip there? Have you ever had trouble crossing the border? What does your fiance do? She then said you are approved and read the pink paper to me, and gave me a canada post tracking sheet as well as another Imbra pamphlet. She was very thorough with those doc... read complete review

This is going to be long and detailed review, but since my situation was slightly unique, I figured this might help someone in the future.
The hotel was Le Square Phillips Hotel & Suites. I can’t rave enough about this Hotel. The rooms are HUGE (literally the size of a giant Condo, two bathrooms and the concierge was a sweetheart and upgraded us to two Queen sized beds, also the US is me and my mom she came to keep me company in Montreal and to offer moral support) super clean and very quiet. They offer continental breakfast during the week from 6:30am-9:30am, they have valet ($25.00 a day), an indoor pool and a gym. The location is amazing lots of restaurants and touristy things to do. The best part of the hotel is how close it is to the Consulate, it is literally a two-minute walk!
My day started by getting to the consulate at around 6:40am for my 7:30am appointment time. There was one other person already there (from Visa Journey) so I was 2nd in... read complete review

Went to the US Embassy in Montreal at 7:00 am. There was already 3 other VJ-er's there!
At exactly 7:30 AM they opened the door to let you enter the building. You get called in one by one. Enter the door, hand your payment proof and passport to the lady working at the desk. She will give you a laminated paper with a number on it. It will also give you instructions on what order to have your stuff in.
Then I was advised to enter the "scanning" room where they put your objects through a scanner. I was allowed to keep my wallet with me while my iPhone and car keys we're put into the filing cabinet behind the desk. You will be given a receipt. DO _NOT_ LOSE YOUR RECEIPT. You will need it when you are leaving and want to get your stuff back.
I was told to go down the steps and enter the room and arrange my files in order. (Honestly it could be ignored as later the person who will take your files later will ask them in a total different o... read complete review

It went as everyone had reviewed. My fiance got there early, it was a slushy, rainy day and he shared his umbrella with a couple who was also there for their K1 Visa interview. My fiance was lucky in the sense that he lived in Montreal and only had to take a bus to get to the Consulate. He left his backpack and phone at home and only took the binder of info with him. He didn't hear his number being called at first and a security guard had informed him that he was being called. It took just a few minutes before the woman who had our papers approved us.

Wait time: 0 - Very Poor Experience. Was assigned a time, and I was early, was screened and given a sticker for my passport plus a ticket. I took the elevator up only to find our appointment times mean nothing. They use a ticket system. I waited approximately 50 minutes past my appointment time.
Staff: 5 - Very Good Experience. The staff I dealt with were all friendly and direct.
I was called up twice. First time was to ask to see our documents. They only asked to see 2-3 documents from the whole checklist. This process took about 4 minutes. The second time I was called up I was asked 3 easy questions - Have I ever been married, how did we meet, have I met his friends and family. I was then approved on the spot. This took about 2-3 minutes, and most of that time was her typing or looking at info.
Overall, the wait time was the worst but the staff was friendly, including security.
