Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : November 6, 2018
Embassy Review : my husband just had his interview this morning at 9am (eastern) and got his "Welcome to the United States" letter!!! I was unable to go to Montreal with him due to time constraints (interview was scheduled about 2 weeks ago). He flew in last night from Vancouver, checked into the hotel had a sleepless anxious night (as did I!!!!) and got to the consulate at 8:05 am. He was called to hand in the papers at around 9:20 am (the longest wait was to turn these in). Waited for a little bit for the interview and the interview only took 5 minutes. In and out by 10 am. He said everyone was super friendly (including the guards) and the lady that interviewed him was very appreciative that he brought all of the necessary documents, copies, and then some (my OCD organized it all and put post-its to make it dummy proof). Due to his job he cannot stick around and wait for his passport so we have opted to still have it delivered regardless of how long it takes.



just some notes:

He had BOTH types of police reports, our case was done online before they changed the rules about the police reports. Luckily we were able to get the second one in time. The interviewer took both and was pleased he had them both done.



The questions they asked were super easy, how did we meet? when did we meet? have you ever been out of North America in the past 5 years? No curve ball questions.



This was the easiest part of the ENTIRE visa process. But I will tell you that even though we read all of the reviews online, were 100% prepared with extra information in case they asked, and were completely aware this would be a breeze, it was still the most stressful part. I was sick to my stomach with anticipation, anxiety, etc. I am so glad this is done and over with!
Rating : Very Good

*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
