My interview was at 9am on June 13 2017. I was very nervous and anxious to start with but since I've read many reviews on Vj, that made me a little prepared. Security is just like the airport. They let me in haf an hr before the appt. Game me the laminated sheet of paper and told me to go upstairs. I went straight upstairs to th 19th floor. There I had plenty of time to organize my papers. I had my docs sorted in the order 15 mins before. And I was waiting to call my name at the window. The guy called me at 857am to collect the documentation. He started by taking my finger prints. Asked for all documents in order one by one. Then asked me sit down again. (Just a quick suggestion. Please have the most current police clearance certificate) consular asked me for it and I had it so he seemed happy. Within 20 mins I was called to window 7. Very friendly guy. Asked me few questions regarding our relationship, why USA and not Canada, and then he asked if my wife is living in Canada. (She is ... read complete review

We had our interview on Monday June 19 at 8:00. We got there at 7:50 and after about a 20 min wait my wife went to the first window for the document check/finger printing. We brought way more paperwork than was on the laminated checklist, but better safe than sorry. Some of the paperwork that was emphasized during the process, like the DS-260 confirmation, wasn't even on the list.
The document check took about 15-20 minutes and then it was maybe a 40 min wait before talking to the interviewer. They asked pretty basic questions: when did you first meet, have you both visited back and forth, what will you do when you move to the US. Maybe a 10 minute chat before she was given the "welcome to the US" letter!
It did seem to take longer than I had seen from other reviews. When we left, the woman at the front door seemed surprised it had taken that long too.

My husband had his interview on Monday. We went in about 20 minutes before our appointment and went through security, got our number, went up to the floor and sat down. He was called for the document check after a few minutes and because we were VERY prepared, there was no trouble whatsoever. I stress: be VERY prepared and bring every piece of paperwork ever submitted. It may be overkill, but why risk it?
Anyway, after document check he sat down and we waited TWO HOURS. I recognize that this was a rare occurrence and I believe that they had a system glitch and then double booked the day as a result. He was finally called in at 12:15 (our appointment was scheduled for 10) and had no trouble answering the questions. The interviewer was pleasant and conversational. At the end he received his Welcome to the United States letter and gave me a thumbs up!
We got notice today, Wednesday, that the visa was sent out and to be delivered via courier tomorrow. So it's pretty quick. I'... read complete review

It took 1 hour. We parked across from the embassy. He saw 2 different people. They gave us a laminated sheet that stated what they were most interested in. First person took all the info and asked a few personal questions. He had to give his fingerprints. After a 20 min wait he had his official interview. It seemed pretty straight forward as long as you came prepared.

My appointment was at 9am this morning - I stayed at an airbnb and took the bus to the medical appointment building to pick up my results at 7:45, then walked over to the consulate. I've been in Montreal since last Wednesday, as I had my medical done on Thursday and had to allow for processing. As per reviews here I popped into Starbucks to wait and headed to the consulate at 8:40. There was no one there besides the greeter at the door and the security guard, both very pleasant. The greeter asked me for my passport and my proof of payment for the appointment, then handed them back along with the laminated sheet. I went through security and had to leave liquids (water bottle) and my phone with them and got a tag. I was instructed to go downstairs and take the elevator to the 19th floor.
The 19th floor office has a really gorgeous view of Montreal! I can't remember if others had noted that. It was only 8:45 at that point so I sat down and got my files in order - I was the ... read complete review
