I am not gonna say very detailed about process, but major hiccups and what was different in my case.
We arrived one day before the interview. Stayed at Chrome Hotel downtown which is 2 blocks away from the US Consulate.
Interview time was 7.30am. We arrived by 7am , one family was already there. I was really worrying about purse and USBs I took with me. But after we entered consulate, they screened my purse and asked to leave usb in the locker( I was given number in order to pick up after). We are K1 and K2 applicants. And because of my son close to age 21 already , our case was expedited. The interview process is very simple. At first window they ask for divorce certificates, passports, birthdays certificates, Support affidavit. Have Copies and Originals!! They will keep the copies. Then we had interview in the second window. Lady asked literally 5 questions.
1. name of the Petitioner
2. Place where I am gonna live in USA
3. If I was ma... read complete review

First and foremost, I apologize for not writing this relatively close to when I actually had the interview (March 20th, 2019)
My memory of the whole process isn't as clear anymore so I will be writing about my general experience.
So I flew in March 19th, a day before my interview and stayed at Hotel Quartier Des Spectacles which is about a 10 minute walk away from the consulate. I originally intended to navigate the bus system to get to downtown but decided for the fixed rate of $40 for the taxi to get me downtown. I was already stressed enough with the whole process much like everyone else, I just wanted to get to my hotel. Quick review of Hotel Quartier Des Spectacles. It's relatively close to the consulate and it's cheap but far from nice. For me it was $30/night which I only stayed for 1 night. The location isn't kid friendly as it's next to a sex shop, but interior is... interesting, nothing inappropriate thankfully but old and creaky. Their complimentary b... read complete review

I had my interview today at 8 am. I showed up at about 7:15 and was the 8th person in line - I recommend trying to be there earlier. I attempted to be there for 7, but managed to take a wrong turn on my walk over. The earlier you are, the quicker you move through! I was there a total of 2 hours but the first couple in line was only there about 45 minutes.
Make sure to read the security rules for the building, many people were turned away this morning due to backpacks and large bags.
Things I brought with me were - all my paperwork organized in a clear organizer, a book to read and ID and car keys. The car keys were not permitted as they had the lock fob on it - I needed to store them with the personel downstairs. They gave me a ticket with a number and held on to them until I was ready to leave.
Once upstairs, you get a chance to organize your paperwork based on the list they give you.
1. The form they provide
2. Passport <... read complete review

I wanted to share my experience because I found the reviews here very helpful.
My interview appointment at the Montreal consulate was for 8:30am. I stayed at the Marriott Courtyard Downtown which is across the street and down one block. I would definitely recommend staying somewhere near the consulate so you're not worried about trying to get there before your appointment.
Although you have an appointment time it pays to be early (if you can) to your interview. I showed up at the consulate about 7:50am (doors open at 7:30am I believe) and if I had been 30 seconds earlier I would have been out of the consulate 45min sooner (I watched two people walk in as I was walking to the door). You are given a number based on the order you enter the consulate.
As others have described, there is a guard & receptionist when you first walk in. You will get checked in and given the number/paper explaining the order for your documents. You then wait for the s... read complete review

My husband had his interview appointment at 7:30 AM on a Monday morning. I flew up to Montreal to be with him for the interview and we love the city so it was a fun little weekend getaway for the both of us. We went to the consulate on Sunday to check out where it is etc. and I was kinda surprised that the entrance was located on a small street that kind looked like an alley way.
On the morning of the interview, it was raining and cold, we arrived around 7:07 AM and there were already 2 people ahead of us. The doors opened promptly at 7:30 AM and by that time there were 5 of us total. The security guard letting us in was very nice and had us line up from the order of arrival, he let two people in at a time. When we got inside we checked in with a lady who looked at our appointment letter and asked if I was the petitioner, she then gave us the laminated sheet of paper with the order they want the documents and then sent us through security. Security was easy, just had to... read complete review
