Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 22, 2025 Embassy Review : Interview: Context: - No criminal history - Petitioner divorced w/ kids - Joint sponsor/co-sponsor for i134f - No previous issues/denials at the border or for visas - I did not study chemistry/physics or work in a high security clearance/federal job (Working or studying in these fields is usually a cause for AP or DS5535 at Montreal) Interview time: January 6th, 8am Arrived at 7:45 Let in at: 7:55 Left at 8:50 There was only 2 other people that came to the doors with me, we were able to stand on the inside of the first set of doors and not have to stand in the cold outside. A security guard came and asks for your appointment time and your passport, they have a list and they check off that you’re there. You’ll get your passport back and then you wait a few more minutes there. Once they let you in someone else will take your passport, check your name off another list, and put in a slip with your number on it and a little laminated list of documents to have ready. You’ll be instructed to turn off your cell phone, empty your pockets and take off your coat/hat, remove watches, and put it all in a bin that goes through a scanner like at airport TSA. You then walk through a metal detector, collect your bin of belongings, go put your phone in a locker and grab the key, and head to the elevator to go to the waiting room. Sit and wait until your number appears on the screen and then head over to the counter, this is where they’ll collect all your documents. Waiting for me only took like 10 minutes, there was only a couple other people up there waiting there with me. Documents collected at first counter: - MRV payment confirmation - 2 American sized passport style photos (2x2 inches) - My passport - Birth certificates + copies (I brought both the long form and short form blue pocket sized Ontario birth certificate) - RCMP background check (make sure you have the correct type- its called something like Criminal Record Check for Personal Use: Other (Provide Details), they take your fingerprints at the office when you go to do it and once you receive it in the mail it will say “The original fingerprint form containing the fingerprint images used to search the databank has been destroyed.” on it) - I-134f(s) + supporting docs (they only want MOST RECENT TAX YEAR; 1040 tax returns, W2s, IRS tax return transcripts, proof of assets, bank account statements, photocopy of ID/passport biometrics page for both my petitioner and our joint sponsor (proof of US citizenship)) - Petitioner divorce decree (ORIGINAL) + photocopy - should be a court document with a raised stamp/seal and dated and signed by a judge — they do not need the previous marriage certificate/license - She took back the little laminated list I was then handed back my slip with my number on it and an IMBRA pamphlet on domestic violence and told to sit back down and read it while I wait and my same number will pop up on the screen again. Once it does, head over to the counter for your interview. The interview will be standing up at a counter/window just like the first one and only takes a few minutes. Questions: - Asked me to raise my hand and take an oath and then took my fingerprints - What is your petitioners name? - How did you meet? - What does he do for work? - When did you first meet in person? - What did you do when you met? - When did you get engaged? - When was the last time you saw each other? - Where will you be living in the states? - Have you ever been refused entry or had any issues at the border? - Have you ever been in trouble with the law or been arrested? - Is this your first marriage? (Yes for me) - Is it your petitioners first marriage? (No for him, she double checked and confirmed that I had given them his correct and original divorce decree) - Any children? (Me: no; My petitioner; yes, 2 kids, she didn’t ask anything further) - She asked if I had more pictures to show her because she loves seeing pictures — so I showed her more of our recent pictures she laughed and said theres no lack of hair in our relationship (we both have pretty long hair, my fiance’s hair is longer than mine so we had a little laugh about that, lol) - She looked over all the papers again, handed me a paper for tracking and congratulated me and said she’ll be approving our case. Walked out of the building by 8:50am Documents i brought but they never asked for: - DS-160 confirmation - My packet 3 checklist - Petitioner birth certificate and copy - Petitioner evidence of domicile (rental lease agreement, some recent utility bills and credit card statements to his address) - Additional 2 previous years of tax/financial docs for I-134f support - Updated/additional proof of meeting since after we submitted the initial I-129f application (more pictures together and boarding passes) - Letter of intent to marry, dated and signed within the last 30 days - My most recent I-94 and US travel history - Also brought receipts from my medicals and an email confirmation from Dr. Zatzman that my medical was sent to the Montreal Consulate 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.
