I went with Christopher to the interview. We arrived at around 7:45 with our appointment being at 8:30, there was already a line waiting to get in and we 7th in line. The doors opened at 8 am. They allowed us in a few at a time, we were given numbers and information, passed through a security check (they will hold your electronics for you, if you do bring them, they are not allowed inside). We followed the instructions given to us and went up an elevator and came to a waiting room. After about 10 minutes, our number was called and Chris went to a window.
We had already put our paperwork in the requested order (we brought ALL paperwork that they had asked for from any communication they sent us), but they didn't need the majority of what we brought with us. The person Chris saw made sure all the paperwork was in order, had him sign some papers, took his fingerprints, and told Chris to have a seat. We waited nervously about 15-20 minutes until he was called to a second win... read complete review

The interview process went well in Montreal, Canada. I completed mine on March 16, 2018. I stayed at the Courtyard Marriott down the street (all the other hotels were booked up because it was the end of Canadian Spring Break). I walked from the hotel in freezing weather, got breakfast at the Tim Horton's up the street from the embassy, and then arrived around 7:45am at the doors.
There was a short lineup to go through the scanners. You must leave your cell phone at the entrance. I had a large 'zippered' binder with all my docs ... good choice with the windy, cold weather. And then I made my way up the elevator and waited till about 8:45 in the lounge when I was called to doublecheck I had all the correct paperwork.
I then waited about 1.5hrs to be called for the formal interview (I was one of the last in my group). The interview lasted max. about 10min and the lady was very kind. She then said I was good to go and I left the building. Five day... read complete review

I had my interview at the Consulate in Montreal this morning. My interview time was 9:00 am. I arrived at 8:30 and was asked if I wouldn’t mind waiting 15 minutes outside. I was summoned inside 10 mins later and gave my passport to the person at the entrance. She gave me a laminated form with a number and instructions on what documents to gather and how to order them. I was then told to go through security. After security, I was told to walk downstairs and take the elevator to the 19th floor. Once there, I had a seat and waited to be called. A gentleman came out of a back room and went to each person in order of their numbers to check them in.
I was called up to the first window about 30 mins later and I was asked for the documents in exactly the same order as the form indicated. I was asked for fingerprints from both hands and I was told to sit back down and wait to be called again.
About 30 mins later I was called to another window for the actua... read complete review

My fiance and I had our K1 Visa interview on June 6, 2018 in Montreal.
I am the Canadian beneficiary, from Vancouver. My fiance, the American petitioner.
As many have previously stated, the interview to my pleasant and unexpected surprise, was the most, quick, painless and enjoyable experience of the entire process.
The consulate itself did not open until 8 a.m., which was the time of our appointment. My fiance were the first to arrive at 7. Although, in the end, appointment time matters little as once they had let everyone in through the door at 7:30 and let us through security/metal detectors we were all placed downstairs in a large room with chairs and an elevator at the end, to wait anyway. Security was kind and not scary at all but still professional. They have you leave everything behind (phone, keys etc.) and give you a ticket to retrieve your items at the front desk when you leave. I was allowed to carry in my binder of paperwork.... read complete review

My appointment was for 7:30 am. My fiance and I arrived at the Embassy by 7:15. We were the first people in line. The security guard opened the doors around 7:32 and asked what we were there for. At that time, there was only one other couple behind us, also there for their K-1 visa. Once inside, there were two more guards that are like the TSA: Put everything in the bins and have your belongings scanned. Once everything was looked over, they took our phones and gave us a ticket to collect them upon exit. We were then sent downstairs to wait. Several people were waiting when a security guard started to send people up individually. Note: The guard did NOT call people up in the order that they arrived. Sit closest to the stairs that you go down as that was where the guard started calling on people. You go back upstairs, back out to the foyer, and give your passport to an agent behind a podium. She printed out a sticker, placed it on the back of my passport, handed me a list that indicates... read complete review
