Review Topic: K1 Visa

Hi, I have my interview coming soon and I was wondering, since I am also taking my child on a K2 with me at the interview.. Do I need to get all documents such as "Affidavit of Support", "Letter of Intent" and such, original and copies for my myself and for my child (2 original + 2 copies for each)? I'm thinking of doing extra copies but I wasn't sure if my child is required also an original + copies since it does state on the document that she is my dependent.. All my documents are ready and I just though about that as I was reviewing everything with my fiancé.

Also, does anyone know where I can leave my stuff in a locker near the interview location?

Thank you for taking the time to help this confused girl

Review Topic: K1 Visa

The Consulate/Embassy reviews were probably some of the most helpful entries I read on VJ so I hope mine can help other couples as much as it helped us!

If you are standing on Boulevard René-Levesque facing the building, it does say SNC Lavalin on it, which confused me a bit. Walk down Rue Saint-Alexandre on the left side of the building and the entrance will have an A-frame sign that says what you cannot bring in. My appointment was at 9AM and I arrived at 8:25AM. There was no line, as I didn't lineup first thing when the embassy opened (I believe 7AM?). Based on all the reviews, I was pretty prepared to wait all morning. I organized all my documentation in an accordion binder and only brought my phone and wallet with me to the interview. I was first given a laminated sheet with a number at the top and a list to organize my documents. After going through security, I was given a small tag to pickup my phone after but was allowed to bring in my wallet.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My expierence at the Montreal usa embassy was fantastic, they were fast and efficient with emails and questions (do not be afraid to call, or email for questions or injuries they're there to help you). Furthermore, I had my interview around 7:30 am (please note: appointment time does not matter, its first come first serve basis).

When your enter the embassy they do a security check.. please be aware they do not allow big bags, purses etc. So just try to carry maybe something less than a wallet size.. in which, you can still not enter with and will be asked to keep it with security and given a ticket for pickup once you exit the building.

After you've passed through security you will walk down a flight of stairs into a room with a laminated paper which gives you the order in which your documents should be presented.

Security will give you time to gather your documents, but do not worry if you dont manage to finish on time because they will... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I know that specifics helped me a lot so here is my experience

Our appt was for 8:30. We got dropped off around 7:15 thinking we would grab a coffee and come back but there was already a line so we decided to just get in the queue. We were let in a few at a time just after 7:30. The one guard at the door is grumpy like everyone says but not a big deal. Definitely don't bring any big bags..or multiple bags!

They check your passport, put a tracking sticker and give you your #/instructions.

Next is security. Put everything in the bin including belts. They will tell you what you can keep and what to check. The checked boxes are small which is why no big bags etc. We left our phones in the locker but got to keep wallets and gum. We went to the first waiting room and were almost immediately let into the elevator. We were given sheet with our number before security and all the documents they wanted and in what order. I had or... read complete review

Review Topic: F-2A Visa

My interview was yesterday, but it did not go well for me!

I arrived at the consulate around 8:10AM for my 9AM appointment.
The security process was quick, they got my phone and Apple Watch as expected and put in a locker.
Then, I went to the 19th floor and waited about an hour to call my number for documents and fingerprinting. The person who asking for the documents was so kind and patient and everything went smoothly and then asked me to wait to be called to see the officer for the main interview.
I waited about half an hour to be called for the last step, interviewing with the officer.
The officer was a nice and patient lady, asked few questions about my relationship, how/when I met my wife, what my wife does for living, my status in Canada. At the end, she said you are eligible to receive your visa, but unfortunately I cannot give it today because of the presidential proclamation that bans Iranian passport holders to receive visa!!! She s... read complete review
