Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 15, 2021 Embassy Review : The whole experience felt more like going to the DMV than anything particularly special. The security outside the consulate was not overly friendly and some of their instructions were not clear. The physical layout of the waiting room was setup to accommodate social distancing requirements, but the sight line to the information screens is obscured by some of the pillars in the waiting area. The staff were friendly and efficient. My application had been impacted by the COVID-19 shut downs in 2020, and so the emotions of waiting for that appointment were at a high. When I was told "your visa will be approved today", I got teary. The official was kind and offered some nice words along with the good news. You can tell they are doing their best with the resources that are available. Rating : Moderate

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
