Really simple, the whole thing took about 3 hours. When we got there the electricity was down so we had to wiat about 30 minutes for it to come back up and then once we got upstairs we had to wait another hour for the computers to come back up. All and all the actual interview only took about 10 minutes.
She asked me:
1) When we first met.
2) When we got enganged.
3) When we first met in person.
4) How we met.
5) What he did for a living.
6) How much money he made.
She then said okay this is all fine take this over to my colleage at window 2. I got there she gave me a paper notifying me to reappear with my medical results. I came back with my medical results the next day and she gave me my visas the day after that.
The worst thing about the interview was where its located. There was a demonstration going on at the time, which I'm sure is normal but... read complete review

Overall the experience was better than I thought. I got to the embassy on a rainy morning at about 725am.Doors opened around 745am. Everyone on here said to get there so much earlier, but I didnt want to stand around, knowing no matter what I would be waiting inside eventually. I was 4th in line, and about 6 people came after. The first woman brough a carry on suitcase, so she had to leave and come back. Bumped me up to 3rd. I had my passport ready, and went through security, then down the steps to a dingy looking basement. I was given letter 'B' during the security check. About 5-10 mins later a guard came to take letters a-b which was myself and a couple. Then up we went to the 19th floor with a gorgeous view on Montreal. The guard was so friendly and sat us in an area near the left. I was called up about 20 mins later to give my paperwork. I was organized and prepped and even still the woman was a tad impatient. It was early on a Friday morning, so i'll let that pass. I sat down, ca... read complete review

The most stressful part of the trip was the airline losing my baggage. I got to the interview early, about 7 am and was the first in line. They let us in about 7:45, we went through security, given numbers and waited in a sitting room for the security guard to come get us. He did, and we went upstairs to wait again. I was called, gave the lady my documents and she took fingerprints. Then I paid the cashier. Soon they called me, I went to an interrogation-like room for the interview. The agent was very nice, and seemed convinced our relationship was legit. I supplied photos, phone bills, emails, etc. but he didn't even look at them.
It lasted about 10 minutes and he granted me my visa. Very low-stress experience, other than I made the mistake of waiting for my cab in the entrance and a rude guard told me I couldn't wait inside.

For starters, we went to dinner with Holliday the evening before the interview and had an AWESOME time. She's a great person - lots of fun, very conversational and easy to get to know. I can't wait to meet her husband one day. I think there will be a road trip from Indiana to Oklahoma coming.
The next morning, we showed up at the embassy at 7:00 to find Holliday and one other man there. People started showing up shortly after that and it was quite the line by the time they opened the doors at 7:30. As stated by others, they were prompt with the 7:30 door opening and 7:45 elevator arrival. I have to admit that I loved walking in the elevator and knowing which way to face since the door opens on the other side. Later on, this became a source of entertainment for my husband and I, but I'll get to that in a minute. We received the letter C.
Letter A and Holliday (letter were called back to windows and had both returned before we were called back. I wasn't ner... read complete review

This may be the longest review ever. I apologize for that. I am many things, but 'concise' is not one of them.
- I arrived at the Consulate shortly before 7. I was confused, because I was the only one there... I started second guessing everything in my head... am I at the right place? What the heck? Of course I'm at the right place. I checked it out 3 times before! And it says "Consulate" right there. Duuurrrrr.. Stop thinking! Anyway, there was a man sitting on the steps near the Consulate , but I wasn't sure if he was waiting to go in too, but it turns out he was. Then SomberCat and her husband arrived (they are AWESOME people, by the way! We had a lovely dinner last night at the Keg. We were there for almost 5 hours! Haha. Seriously though, this trip would've been so much more stressful for me if they hadn't been around to hang out with. Thanks guys!) Shortly after that, the line started to get reaaaallly long. Yay fo... read complete review
