MTL Timeline to Interview

[Melyssa 0]

Probablly not... The US consulate Montreal website says that they are discontinuing processing visa applications from people residing in the US as they will be experiencing an extended staff shortage this summer and fall. No mention of bringing down wait times for other visas.

Hey we can always hope that they are doing this to reduce wait times

The wait times for interviews is well beyond ridiculous now. Does anyone have any solid info on whether or not Montreal discontinuing with work visas etc, will help bring down the wait time for immigrant visas?

Has anyone at all had an interview scheduled since I was last here over a week ago?

As far as I know, they only schedule interviews around the 15th of each month, so everyone is just hanging tight until then.

On a side note, Neiks had her interview on the 28th, and was approved:)

Just to prepare myself for the 15th of this month (my first time calling in to harass and see if I've had an interview scheduled ,) do I call NVC or Montreal, or both to see if they have scheduled me? I'm going for the CR-1 visa, so I know NVC books the interview, but wasn't sure which place to actually call......

Yeah, I guess it just seemed like NO ONE got an interview scheduled in June (for say July/August)... so I was hoping it didn't mean they were getting even more behind ... but hopefully they'll schedule like crazy in July!! lol

I know, it's super weird - first we get an avalanche of interviews for June and nothing for July... makes me wonder... I kid you not guys, B and I are so tired of this whole shebang. He will be Dr. S. soon enough and is applying for a tenure track position with UWash. If he gets it I don't know ####### I am going to do. Life is insane. I hate the place I work (my "real" job, the Second Cup gig is super fun) and can't wait to move.

There have been a few booked for July (mine's on the 18th) that were booked in June .. not many though.

I really don't think that they book the 15th of the month (I think that they just say that to buy themselves some time).. if you remember my posts, they sent out my interview letter on June 11th (it was booked the Thursday of the previous week). Let's hope they get the ball rolling and start booking this week!!! If you haven't called recently .. I would call this Friday (but then again I can be a bit obsessive)

I knew yours was booked for July... didn't realize/remember it was booked in June though. Your packet 3 was still sent back in January though Mine was sent back toward the end of the month so... well I hope they start scheduling lots of interviews soon!

Ooohh... you said a few... who else was booked in June for July besides you? You're the only one I remember... Did I miss anyone?

What we all need to remember is that the last batch of people we saw get interviews were mostly people with P3 dates in January.... which means right now Montreal is probably scheduling those with P3 dates in February. And, if you take a look at VJ timelines, there aren't many of us here that fall into that time frame. So I'm sure Montreal is going at the same pace as usual, we're just not seeing it is all.

Amy and Brian...I'm going to put down the paper bag now

That makes sense.

Called again today and still no interview. I got 2 different persons Friday and Today so I didn't get yelled at for calling back so soon like last time
