Are Children (US citizens) allowed in the US consulate in Toronto

[NGMG]

As per the U.S. consulate's website, children are allowed with the parents. However, the appointment confirmation letter contradicts with the statement that is there on the website.

I will appreciate for any recent experiences. I have an appointment on Aug 8th.

Thanks

Childrens are allowed if accompanyed with by there parents. Consulate do not categorize childrens accompanying there parents as US citizen childrens or Indian Citizen childrens and I hope and wish you also change your thinking.

I asked the same question to Toronto consulate in an e-mail and here's the reply from them.

Our current practice is not to allow children who are not applying for visas into our waiting room because of limited office space. This may be changed shortly but please continue to review our website for latest policy changes.

Thanks Philip for sharing the reply from the US consulate in Toronto. Did you receive this reply very recently?

Sanjiv - I am wondering if you visited the consulate recently as the policies change with time. Regarding your comment on "change your thinking", please understand that the intention was to make it clear that the accompanying children does not need stamping of the US visa.

Yes, last month.

Hi - As far as I know (I checked their website last week) they don't allow anyone (even minor children) in the Consulate if they don't need visa.

You are correct about the website but according to my first hand personal experience i saw many femals carrying there (infant) babies. I am really not sure if thoes babies also need some kinda visa or what they were inside.

@NGMG: Ok, it makes sence and i m sorry if my comment was not appropiate.
