[infoboy]

Hi Guys,

I would like to thank murthy forum and Every one who posted their valuable suggestions and experiences here. My interview was on Nov 9 at Vancouver, Canada.

--> When you arrive at the consulate, at the gate they check your passport, DS confirmation first page and the I-797. and then you will be allowed in.

-->you will now go through a security check just like in airport. and then after security check you will enter a room where you will be issued a token number at a window.

-->Then you will be asked to go to another floor, I think 20th floor with security guard where you will see counters. your token number will be called and you give your finger prints at a window. after that you will wait for your final interview.
