Just thought I'd give a quick update/review of our experience in Vancouver last week for our K-3 visa.
I read tons of reviews on VJ before we went and was all confident about the interview and to my disbelief we had a the devil interviw of apparently!
Everything else was as expected with the security etc. and the man who took our packet when we first got there (Leo) was nice. When we were called up to the window we were asked a few questions about where we met and when, and where we both worked. After that our interviewer (Hong) started in on my husband about a DUI from 11 years ago (he was 19!!). She wanted exact dates of the occurance, court & fine payments. Needless to say it being 11 years ago my husband had not memorized all this information, and she was the one sitting there with the original court records in front of her! She was just plain RUDE to us! She would make a rude comment then start typing and we would try to give her some more details and she held her hand up to the window as in be quiet I'm busy. Then my hubby had an overstay of 45 days from last year before we started this process and it created a "hit" on ISIS, so she insisted he was detained by the US Border agents in October, but he was actually entering Canada after the overstay and was not even detained, but they noted it in the computers I guess. He tried explaining this to her and she rudely said "SIR, You're splitting hairs with me". Which he wasn't, he was trying to make her understand what actually happened, but she had her own version I guess. We left the consulate without his passport and had the medical done the following morning. Laura at Woking Medical was awesome! We told her about the troubles at the consulate about the 11 year old DUI and she was in shock that they were hassling him so much about that. She assured us that the Doctor would make elaborate notes in the medical review to assure this was not a problem. We picked up the medical at 2 and took them back to the Consulate. They would only allow my husband upstairs to drop it off and had me go wait on the street for him. We left the Xpresspost envelope with the consulate along with the passport and were told that they needed to do Administrative Processing. I think that was her way of saying she didn't like us and we were going to have to wait as long as she wanted to without knowing what was going on.
