Review Topic: K1 Visa

I'll start off by saying that I had a pretty good experience at the Montreal Embassy/Consulate.

My interview was scheduled for July 19th at 9 am. My fiance came with me to Montreal and was the one who actually drove the long, grueling 8 hours to do so. He's amazing. Anyway, we booked a room at the Hotel Faubourg near china town Only a 12 min walk from the embassy). We took a walk down the street to find the embassy ahead of time to make sure we would get there on time. The price was fairly decent and the employees were very pleasant. The room also came with free breakfast which to me is exciting. I would suggest waking up at around 7 if you are going to have the breakfast because it gets pretty busy pretty fast. Overall, great hotel experience.

My fiance and I woke up at 6:30 am and headed downstairs to the lobby for breakfast. My nerves started to get the best of me and I couldn't really eat much. Too bad too because the interview was ... read complete review

My interview experience was pretty easy and I'd love to break it down for anyone else doing their spousal visa.

First off - arriving into Montreal Airport I went down to Arrivals (ground level), around Door 28 and bought a 3 day bus pass for $18 for the "747" airport bus at a kiosk. There are several and are well marked. Then go outside, turn right, and head down to the bus stop (also well marked). The bus departs about every 15 minutes to downtown, and there are baggage racks on board. Check out the Montreal transit website, as it will tell you what hotels coincide with what stop (there are only 11 stops). I used my pass to return to the airport as well, so for $18 I saved a costly cab fare. WELL worth it!

I booked a hotel downtown, within 10 blocks of the consulate (Best Western Hotel Europa). On a nice day it's a beautiful walk, or a quick taxi ride, I'm sure. There are a lot of hotels close by, so don't be overly concerned with being super clos... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I had my interview July 5th and had a lovely experience.
Firstly a huge thankyou to all those that came before me; I probably got more information from this forum/community than I did from the packets/consulate information.

You aren't allowed to bring any bags with you, and since I was using public transit I opted for the lockers available at Eaton Place ( a mall). Its only 2 blocks away and right as you come out of the McGill Metro station. You can find the lockers at the food court - bottom level- opposite the bathrooms and right beside the Aqua Fish food vendor. It costs a loonie and can store a gym-sized duffle until the mall closes at 9:30pm.

After storing my backpack and water bottle, I kept a shopping bag with my medical results and documents in an accordion folder. If you DO need to pick up medical results the day of your interview, both offices are within walking distance of each other, so it should be very do-able. Once I reached the consu... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I was able to go into the embassy 45 minutes early without any issue. Once I arrived, I was told that my courier service wasn't setup and that I needed to call in to fix that.



Once inside, there was no one to give me the laminated number. So I went up and spoke with someone that referred me to counter 1. There, they gave me a number and took my documents. I don't recall the order correctly, but here is what they took in the order that I can remember:



1. Birth Certificate

2. Marriage Certificate

3. Police Clearance

4. Medical Records (they gave me back the CD that was inside)

5. I-864

6. Wife's 2016 tax return (photocopy)

7. I-864a

8. Father in laws 2016 tax return (photocopy)

9. Wife's naturalization certificate (because I didn't have a photocopy of my wife's passport to which the lady at the counter sai... read complete review
