INTERVIEW AT MONTREAL
Here is my interview experience in Montreal. This board helped me a lot with useful information. My interview was on 18 th Nov.Monday.
at 9:30am.I reached there at 7:40 am. No one was there and that day was second heavy snow day in Montreal. I could not get taxi and we had to walk from holiday inn select to consulate in snow.
(Holiday inn is very good hotel. I booked it from price line.com.I paid 35 US dollar/day.) Security gate was opened at 7:45.One security lady told us to wait in coffee shop and come back at 8:30.But from this board I knew that
they usually allow people to get in. I told her that I had to go early then she allowed us to come in. We waited for 15 minutes in waiting area for elevator to 19 th floor. We took elevator and went to 19 th floor.
From this board I knew that we have to line at window 6 for immigrant visa for taking number. I was the first one in line. Took first no and waited at waiting area. We were keeping an eye on display window. Our no was first so
we were called first. Gave all documents(medical report, employment letter, interview letter, PHOTOS and passport).She asked for my birth certificate photocopy and I gave her. Signed DS-203 -11.Then she told us to wait for interview.
We waited for half an hour and around 9:25am.Our number was called. We went to room 13 and one young"Gori"(lady) was there. She asked us to raise right hand take oath" Yeh sabhi information jo maiani di hai sab sach hai.."( in Hindi)
i.e. I swear that all info which I have given is right......I was really worried about interview. Then lady browsed through my papers and asked
in which company I am working? how long? then she asked my wife. have u been refused entry in USA? interview was for few minutes...I think they check key information e.g. first page of labor certificate, employment letter,designation,PCC.
After browsing through paper work she told us that everything looks fine and gave mea slip for fee deposit. Also she told us to wait for visa packet.
I went to cashier counter(again at window 6) and deposited fee through my VISA card. at 10:15am We got our visa packet. Lady at counter told us to check name and other info. My father's name spelling were not correct told about this to lady at counter
and she checked my DS -203 form and it was spelled exactly the same in form. It was my mistake. But she told us that it does not matter.
We acme out of consulate at 10:30AM.wE went back to holiday inn and checked out at 1
M.Generally check out time is 12:00pm.But I requested them for one hr extension.
My flight was at 8
m for Windsor. We took a taxi and spent our time at Eaton center. It is underground mall and very near to consulate.
We reached to Windsor at 11:30 PM.I took my car and drove to border. AT 12:05AM I reached at windsor-detroit border and showed my packets to immigration officer and explained him about packet. He did not knew about the process. He allowed us to enter in USA.
I explained him that I need immigration visa stamping in my passport. He wrote a slip and put it on my car. I went to custom area and custom officer told us to take my paper work to immigration office. I went there and showed my packet to officer there. He was very nice.
I gave my both passport to officer(Canadian and Indian)
I requested him to stamp my Canadian passport and he stamped my Canadian passport. After processing I reached at 1am in my apartment.
