INTERVIEW BASED ON MONTREAL, CANADA EXPERIENCE
----------------------------------------------
1. Arrived with all prepared documents 2 days before the Interview.

2. Stayed at:-
La Tour Centre Ville Apt Hotel
400 RENE LEVESQUE BLVD WEST Montreal, QC H2Z 1V5
Downtown Montreal
1-800-361-2790
1-514-866-8861
It cost about $100 CAD per day. The rooms have cooking facilities as well Average Accomodation but very convenient location to US Consulate, just accross the Road from US Consulate, takes 2-3 minutes to cross the road.

3. Arrived at Consulate at 8.30am on Monday April 2nd, 2007 and after showing appointment letter and the security check was told to go floor 19.
NOTE: No brief case of bages are allowed so leave them in the Hotel. Arrive around 7.45am to be in front of the line. I was a lttle late and arrived at 8.30am so I got number 11.

4. Took number 11 and waited for my turn.

5. Got called around 11.00 am to Window 9. He was a middle aged Man and was very nice and polite. He reviewed our DS230, DS122 and made some clarifications and then asked for all documents. He sighted them and put them into 2 piles, One Original and one copies. He just took my High School Diploma and returned the rest of the certificates and job letters, saying all he needs is High School Diploma. He also checked for my Finance support letters from Banks and property deeds. He then said everything looks good and it is clear case with no complexities. He asked me to take a seat while they process some papers and then they will call us again.

6. Half an hour later I got called to Window 8 where a different young man as at the counter. He just asked if I had ever been to US before to which I replied "Only while transiting to Fiji via Honululu". He also asked what I intended to do in US and when and where would I move there and I replied, work as an Accountant and Real estate investment as I have been doing here in Canada. I said it will take me 4-5 months to sell 2 of my houses and complete some other business transactions before I can move to Seattle, WA as it is conveniently closer to BC, Canada where I will still have some real estate investments to take care of. He then returned all our originals, took biometrics for both index fingers and said our Visa would be mailed via Canada Xpresspost within a couple of days, commenting that it will only be valid for 6 months and I must immigrate before it expires.
I thanked him and happily left for my hotel.

7. Received my Xpresspots with passport stamped with Visa and sealed enevelope on April 9th, 2007

POE PROCEDURES
--------------
- I will be validating my papers at the Peace Arch Border Crossing later this week.
