Fact: I never did get a interview letter from Montreal and had it not of other here who told me to call I would never have known that my interview was two days latter.
A maddening experience of ever there was one, got to the consulate as everyone has and went through the security wand and folder check and then ent to wait for the elevator. On the 19th floor waited for my number to be called then went to the interview or document distribution room and came face to face with Debbie aka the biatch of Montreal who proceeded to request documents and I gave them to her sometime hesitantly until we were do and I was sent to wait for the next part of the process. when called it the second room was greeted by a young fellow ratherpleasant to talk with and answered his question and then he said I had to file a I-601 at wish I said a what and he explained it was for the conviction I had so I took the documents and left. When I got home I was pissed because with the I-601 I also had too have blood work done for alcohol. When I went to doctors for the blood work she was mad and called the consulate and spoke with the last person I spoke too and found out that Debbie wrote in my file that I had been drinking and she could smell alcohol on my breath,and because of that the test was necessary.I have been sober for the past 25 years.
