I dont really think it will matter.... to make sure, contact the KCC (or the embassy of they already have your file)
As promised here is my interview account:
I had an 8am appointment at the Montreal embassy in Canada. I live in Edmonton (Alberta) quite far from Montreal so had to come in a week earlier to ensure my medicals will be completed on time. Did my medicals at Medisys (downtown) Montreal. They had a 48-72hrs turnover period. Did the medicals on Thursday and had my results the following week Wednesday. I was a bit nervous I would not get the medicals on time. I'd advise you budget more than a week ahead of your medicals. This might help to alleviate your fears. After getting the medicals I went to the embassy the following day. No bags are allowed in the embassy. The embassy is located downtown and quite easy to locate if you ask the Medisys guyz. On thursday the D-day, I left home (my cousin's place in montreal) at 5am as the weather was quite terrible the day before so had to budget a lot of time in advance in case of any unfortunate situation on the way (like the car getting stuck in snow). Ps: Before you go click on this website (usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice /ss_country_ welcome) and click on the guy with the laptop and follow the instructions and register for the DHL service. It's a requirement for effective and speedy processing of your visa (they check at the embassy). Bags are not allowed at the embassy so you should try and find a place to lodge your bag. There is a coffee shop across the street which charges 5 dollars to safe keep your bag. Also if you can change the US dollars at your local bank that might help too cos I realised the embassy's rate was a bit on the high side ( but yeah not so high)...So after checking us through they first do the finger prints, then they call you back to receive your documents, then later invite you for the interview. The interview was quite conversational:
co: how your doing?
me: great yourself?
co:do your swear...blah
me:absolutely I do
cout ur thumb there...and click
co:nice thumb
me:what did you say?
co:said nice thumb
meh thanks...haha
co:I need to pull up your case
me: oh cool
co: So you single?
me: Yes very single
co: You have any criminal convictions, arrests
me: Naa...I'm sure if I did my police reports will indicate so...but yeah nothing of that sort
co: You speak German
me: Naa...my uni was english uni
co: when you done your program here
me: hopefully May but my supervisor is Egyptian so might take some extra time due to the unrest in Egypt which I am willing to wait
co: Oh i see you have 2 years extra on your US visa...Have you been living there
me:Naa..Just been there for 2 weeks...went for a wedding which I was the best man
co: Where did you live in the states
me: Hartford connecticut
co: So I don't see anything wrong with the case, did you register for the DHL service
me: yeah
co: You should receive your passport with visa and other documents in a week's time at the DHL office your registered
me:tnx
Then she hands me a letter with welcome to the united states of america and how to track your DHL parcel at the back
As I said interview was conversational ....no academic questions.....Ok guy thanks for all your help...deeply appreciated ...took away tons of nervousness which characterize this whole process...I will stick around to help other who will be having their interviews in montreal should they need my assistance....
Will let you know when my parcel is in...
