I was surprised at how quickly and easily the process was through Vancouver. We arrived at the consulate early (they of course sent us away for 15 minutes). We arrived again at the scheduled time and were put through security. There are two sets so don't put stuff back in your pockets just carry them with you until through the second set.
We waited until called to window #3. We then handed in all the paperwork requested on our checklist. We had a seat again and waited to be called for the interview. Once called to the window we were asked general questions about how we met. Where we were married. Where we both worked. She verified my husbands income. Asked my daughter a couple of questions and asked her to sit down. Then asked me about her birth father (who has never been in the picture and is not listed on her birth certificate). She then told me to go get our medicals and we left.
We managed to get our medicals after some hassle. I ran back into the consulate with nothing in my pockets. Handed it over at window #2 and was told everything looked good and that we were to come back tomorrow to pick up our visa's.
The next day the consulate called to re-check the information about my daughter's birth father. I again explained that he was not listed on her birth certificate and had no rights to her. They said thank you and to be there at 2:00. I arrived at 2:00 and we picked up our k3 & k4 visa's.
All and all it was a good process - just nerve wracking!
