Does anyone know what the current wait times from NVC to interview in Montreal for IR-1 visas? I know some of that depends on how quickly you submit your civil documents and complete the forms online stuff, but what are the processing times like on their end?

Is there a place on vj, or a spreadsheet somewhere that shows the current wait times for interviews in Montreal?

Thanks :)

From case complete at NVC expect 8 to 10 weeks depending upon if the case if complete in the beginning of the month or end of the month. It takes NVC about 2 weeks after case complete to process the interview date and it is normally 2 months out the day they schedule it to make sure applicant have enough time to make travel, medical and other arrangements. This is exactly what happened to me. My case was complete on 11th day of the Month. I got my interview date at the end of month. My interview was scheduled exactly 2 months after the day I got the notification. Good Luck
