I flew into Montreal from the Toronto island airport on Tuesday, May 14th. From the Montreal Airport I took the 747 bus to my hotel The Courtyard Marriott Downtown. The signs and machines in the airport to purchase bus tickets are clearly marked. I do not speak French and had no problems figuring it out. Some people have said that you can transfer to the metro at the first bus stop and it will get you where you’re going faster. I chose not to do that because minimizing transfers and hub bub minimizes anxiety for me. I was on the bus from 2:30pm to about 3:15pm, it was fine and honestly, only an additional 10-15 minutes or so from that first stop. I easily checked into the hotel which was less than a block from the bus stop (Jeanne-Mance St stop) Nice big clean room. Very pleasant staff.
Wednesday, May 15th, I arrived at the consulate at approximately 6:45am for my 7:30am appointment. I was the first person there. Slowly people began to arrive as we appro... read complete review

Had a nice time! Was first in line, get there super early. I arrived at 6:40 am and brought a book. No backpacks, oversized bags allowed. You can bring a cellphone, but you will surrender it.
They unlock the doors at 7:30 am, first ask for your passport and interview letter. You are given a sheet that specifies what number you are and the exact list and order your paperwork needs to be in.
No matter your time of interview, they process you in the order you go through the door. Thus, I was in first in, paperwork taken first, interview first, out the door first. I was wrapped by 8:15 am.
Very important! The Montreal checklist does specify that you need to have the affidavit of support, but you must bring it. It’s required along with the most recent tax receipts, both W-2 and the IRS Transcripts. If your documents submitted are from 2017, but your spouse or family member filed the 2018, bring those.

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
