If you follow the pictures provided and all the information in the reviews you're pretty much golden. Some people were turned away for bags (although some lady was allowed her purse but she was much older) and even when we left a lady was really angry because she couldn't bring a bag in.
One at a time through the door and through the security. Down the stairs and right to the elevator. Up to the 19th floor, out the elevator, to the left and window 14 A/B. Then you just sit in the waiting room waiting for you number to be called to windows 1-4. I was C2. They called the first 3 in order, then some out of order. Went up to window 2 and a nice lady took my fingerprints and asked for my originals and photos, including the I-864EZ. She gave me a form to read about domestic abuse and my rights.
Sat back down and waited to be called to an interview window (some of which are little rooms and others which are windows.) I went up to window 10 and there was a nice gentleman there. He checked over all my documents and handed them back. He then proceeded to ask me quite a few questions. I was surprised at the amount since most people only get 1-3. It started with how we met (he did write it all down btw) to how much time we spend together, how often we see each other, how we keep in touch because it's only every 3 months (We skype every day and even sleep with it on, which he said prompted a question in his head he said was a little personal... LOL) He asked why we married in BC instead of AB and who was at the wedding. Asked if my husband's family was there and why not when I said no. Asked me what I was planning on doing in the USA and then after a minute of typing he closed my file and said your visa is approved. He handed me the Welcome to the United States letter and said to expect my visa in about 5 days via DHL.
All in all I was really happy with the experience. I met some fellow VJ members there and even a lurker who knew who I was. HAHA!
