i selected the "ready to schedule" so that might be why..

and i just checked, i can still get July 12th

Oh, that is such a letdown :( It sucks that taking the time to pay in advance has backfired like this, that date would be perfect for us :(

I'm pretty sure NVC will be scheduling you appointment... you are CR-1/IR-1 right??? ...if so.. it's possible you can't judge the interview schedule by the CSC site... maybe there are times set aside for NVC scheduled appointments.

Hang in there!!smile.gif

Still no available appointments...what gives?

(I chose the Permanently Immigrate - K1 visa option and paid upfront)

I've got my interview scheduled (have had it for two or three weeks now), but I did the same thing... paid upfront. Judging by what people are saying, if you paid upfront, the interviews are showing up... whereas if you didn't pay, there are appointments available. I'm super grateful to have the interview date that I do. I haven't seen available appointments for a week and a half or so now. I might try calling DOS... it says on the Montreal website (right before you log-in) that they had problems, but you should able to continue paying/scheduling. It looks like the scheduling bug might not be fixed?

Know what you mean.!!!! We have been watching the available times several time day. We feel sorry for those who are looking now only to see hat NO times are available. We feel very fortunate now just to have a time.

Hi Kellie & Phil and fellow VJers waiting for their MTL interview.

I am sort of confused about the DHL registering process :unsure: actually very confused! I sent out packet 3 forms using UPS (we never recieved packet 3 yet b/c of the postal strike)

At what point did you all register for DHL? when did you /are u supposed to use DHL..i am not sure what fee they are referrring to? My fiance paid the fee for the initial 129f form.

And I guess they gave an online link to schedule when packet 4 comes..fingers crossed for packet 4!!!!!!

pls let us know..and congrats to everyone for their interview dates. :thumbs:

You have to register for DHL on the consulate website. https://usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/login

DHL is used to send your passport back to you after your visa is approved. I registered after I sent P3.

In additional to paying for the initial 129F there is a $350 visa fee that you can pay at the time of your interview or online when you make an appointment.

Good luck :)

Your medical needs to be within 6 months of your interview, so that should be ok. :) The only thing to consider is that for AOS, your medical needs to be less than a year ago to be valid, otherwise you'll need to have a second medical done, so if your plans for POE, marriage and AOS filing work within that then you shouldn't have any issues.

I had my medical 2 months ahead of my interview. The doctor's office just cared that I had my case number, vax records and payment.

Hi fellow MTL Vjers,

I have a quick question about the NOA 2 expiry dates. My NOA2 expires in Sept, however the only interview spot i could book is in October in Montreal.

I'm wondering what the process is to renew /extend the NOA 2 for the montreal embassy..has anybody been in the same situation? Its really frustrating to get someone at MTL to reply back..

Oh and thanks so much for your advice earlier :)
