Had a nice time! Was first in line, get there super early. I arrived at 6:40 am and brought a book. No backpacks, oversized bags allowed. You can bring a cellphone, but you will surrender it.
They unlock the doors at 7:30 am, first ask for your passport and interview letter. You are given a sheet that specifies what number you are and the exact list and order your paperwork needs to be in.
No matter your time of interview, they process you in the order you go through the door. Thus, I was in first in, paperwork taken first, interview first, out the door first. I was wrapped by 8:15 am.
Very important! The Montreal checklist does specify that you need to have the affidavit of support, but you must bring it. It’s required along with the most recent tax receipts, both W-2 and the IRS Transcripts. If your documents submitted are from 2017, but your spouse or family member filed the 2018, bring those.
They gathered my documents, scanned my fingerprints, then I waited ten minutes for the interview. They swear you in, scan your fingerprints again and return some of your original documents. Just a few innocuous questions about where I was going to live, have I ever been arrested, my longest visitor stay in the USA, and that was it. She congratulated me and gave me the welcome letter.
Very professional, super smooth, all in a timely fashion.
BE EARLY! BE ORGANIZED!
