Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

My husband and I attended his CR1 visa interview in Montreal on September 8, 2008. The folks at the consulate were clear, to the point, and generally easy to deal with. It's an intimidating process, so naturally we were nervous, but everything went off without a hitch.

A couple of points of preparation, even though it's all been said before elsewhere on VJ: don't bring a big bag -- they won't allow it inside. Cell phones and any other electronics will have to be left at the security desk. They don't allow food or drink from outside. However, there are water fountains and vending machines in the waiting room, so bring some change if you think you might get thirsty or hungry. Be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting (I recommend bringing something to read because the reading material in the waiting room will put you right to sleep: the books on American Literation and History look like they were published in the 1970s).

We stayed at Le Dauphin, which was... read complete review

Our interview went really well. We were in the building for probably less then an hour. We were asked a few simple questions and all the people related with interviewing us were courteous and friendly. We were accepted and told to return the next day to pick up the visa. Picking it up took less then ten minutes and we were on our way to the USA!

Fast - friendly - didn't ask for any additional documentation. Asked how we met, if I had seen the house, how many times, where we got married. That was about it.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Much like the other reviews of this consulate, the wait was long and the only questions I got were:

"When did you meet?"
"When are you getting married?"

Very simple, as long as you have all the correct paperwork, and have things in order. I was approved, and received my visa the next day!

Again, they do not need your x-rays and the lady was almost upset that I had too many copies of my documents.

Overall the experience was a smooth one and my husband was approved - yay!

Here's the break down - nothing too differnt from the others. I apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes, I am so happy and typing so quickly.

We arrived at 6:40am on Friday August 22 - way early but we were anxious. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott on Sherbrooke (great hotel by the way). We got coffee at the cafe on the corner and waited. People started to arrive at 7am and by 7:30 there were quite a few people on line. At 7:30am the guard opened the door and even though we were first in line the guard checking us in gave us the letter B.

There was a woman behind us with a HUGE purse who was somehow able to get a letter A and allowed in with her purse as long as she left her bottle of water.

We were checked through with no problems and told to go downstairs and wait until 7:45am. We did and at exactly 7:45am a guard came down in the elev... read complete review
