Here is our experience for the Vancouver Consulate.
Appt. was October 22,time was the normal 10.00 am. We arrived there around 9.40. We had stayed the night at the Days Inn which is located just on the next block 921 W. Pender 117.00/ night plus 20.00 for parking. A little steep we thought but paid for the convenience. I had just had knee surgery on the Thursday so was hobbling along on crutches.When we arrived the line was to the first set or stairs. The fellow came over and asked us what we were there for and said K1. He then said "let me see if we can find you a wheel chair" Not available, but he brought us passed everyone and got us through right away. We thought that was awesome. Only problem,, 16 steps to go up to security. Then had to do a pat down and have my crutches checked over. Once we did that we walk back through the scanner and up we went to floor 20. Go to the left to window "B" Lady came over after we flicked the switch. She gave us a lust of the documents needed and said I'll be back after you put the docs in this order. (start from the bottom and work up)I passed them to her when asked and she proceded to totally mess up the order. She then had copies mixed with originals and was totally confused. It took awhile to sort it out. Then we went and sat down and waited for about 10 minutes to be called for fingerprinting and oth. He also interviewed us right then. Asked us a ton of questions, he was new to the job and had our dates of meeting, dating, meeting in person. He was a nice fellow though.He then wrote on a expedited ticket for pickup at the consulate and asked us to go back and finish up with his colleague at window "B" again. She congratulated us and said we will see you back here to pick up my packet and passport with my visa on Thursday at 2.15. We didn't even know we had been approved until congratulated us.We were walking out of there by 11.00. So happy to be on to the POE Thursday night out of Vancouver International. City Hall wedding at 4 pm Fridat October 26.
