First off I would like to say thank you to everyone who has written a review, it for sure helped me prepare or shall I say over prepare haha.
I picked the first slot for my interview so I arrived 40 minutes before and went to the starbucks across the street to help calm my nerves haha. I would suggest standing in line 30 mins before your interview as alot of people picked the first slot and a long line was forming before I got there. Also do not bring anything extra with you, just your paperwork and cellphone (you will need to hand over your cell phone when going through security) A lady behind me came with her purse and they made her fiancee take it back to their hotel room.
People are let in one by one and you are greeted by a staff member who requests to see your passport and the paper showing your scheduled interview date. Once the person reviews it they print out a sticker and put it on the back of your passport, as well as give you a lamented number ... read complete review

I took the train from Toronto and stayed at the Hotel Bonaventure, which is across the street from Gare Central and can be accessed from the station either via Le Passage (through the underground mall) or at street level. Handy! The room was quite nice, very clean with comfy beds and the service was polite and quick. As to be expected, room service was pricey but the food was good. I was very nervous so I treated myself to an $8 Corona, however I took a pass on watching a $19 movie!!
I was the first to arrive at the consulate around 7-ish for my 7:30 am appointment, only to find that it opens at 8:00, heh. Soon, there was a healthy line up of people behind me.
They opened the doors, first making us line up at the opposite side of the doors than we started out, then allowed us in one at a time. I met the lady at the podium, who asked for my DS160 confirmation and my passport, then she gave me the laminated sheet with the instructions on how to order your ... read complete review

I live in Montreal so I took the bus and metro to the consulate and arrived around 7:20. Other applicants were already waiting outside. When they let us in, the security guard said that I could not come into the building with my backpack. I brought it with me because I was going to work after the interview and needed it. I wrongly thought that they could store it for me but instead I walked to the Eaton Centre and put it in a locker, returning only with my documents binder. I was given number 8 upon return and went up to the 19th floor. I was called to a window after about 45 minutes of waiting and the agent asked for various documents; original birth certificate, I-134 filled out by the petitioner, police check, passport, letter of intent to marry signed by petitioner. There seemed to be an issue because the letter was a scan and not an original. I worried about it after he asked me to return to the waiting area but it didnt end up being a problem.
After another 45 minutes, a d... read complete review

Everything was smooth and fine, especially with the massive help of visajourney. All the various time estimations were accurate, too (with one exception).
Also, a certain spouse immigration guide on here is helpful to a point, but is clearly outdated (wrong forms/etc).
Only real complaint is that we waited almost a year for the NVC to move our case forward and give us an interview date. Eventually, I decided to request our case be expedited (I only did not before this point because it says to provide a reason for the expedite request - and we did not have a "good" reason beyond being eager/impatient). At this point, we had an interview date in slightly over 2 weeks later.
I do not know what happened, but I *highly* recommend that anyone waiting for an interview date do these two things:
1) contact the NVC and ask if your case is complete
if yes, then
2) request that your case be expedited.
I would give this proces... read complete review

Had my interview under IR1 category at 8:30am. Got there just before 8am and the lady was nice enough to let me in and was given #10.
Went through standard security. I had my documents in a plastic folder and was carrying it in a reusable grocery bag with no issues. They did keep my fitbit and gave me a token to pick it up later.
Got up to the main hall and sat down and sorted my documents the way it was advised on the sheet and waited. My number was called just before 9am and she asked me for my passport, pictures, original birth certificate (I only had the certified copy available which I explained to them), police certificates and marriage certificate. No copies were requested. After that they took my fingerprints. Lady was very nice and friendly. Once done she asked me to go back and wait for my number to be called again for the interview.
Now, strangely they didn’t call anybody for the interview until they completed document ... read complete review
