Ottawa Interview
We (my wife and me) are clinical researchers. We went for first time H1b visa stamp (from J1). Had travelled a lot and can say that visa interview at US embassy in Ottawa was one of best experiences. Everyone was so friendly.
Interview was around 11. Was allowed to bring in my toddler. No backpacks allowed. document folder allowed. At first counter, passport and I-757 was checked. Went for finger print and pic. Infact, I had my put my DS-160 number wrong while taking appointment but no issues.
In front of me, there were 3-4 people. A young pretty lady took interview. I guess all got approved. At interview, typical questions - what to you do, previous visa, did you get waiver and thats it? Only J waiver document checked in my case (May be because lot of my work are on internet so its easy to see my work and profile which she saw).
I stayed in Syracuse a night before and travelled to Canada (from Syracuse, USA) the same day. At Canada border , it took me just 15 min (I crossed around 7 AM at thousand islands crossing). Typical questions asked.
Got parking near embassy. parked for 2 hours but I guess we came out in an hour or 90 min, max.... Overall, it was easy. waiting for passport.
