MTL (and others) Waiting for an interview date

[melusine 5]

yes to know when u ve been put in the system you can ask... did they receive my application ?

and it's the date they "received it" that count

arent we all?

so what do you guys ask when you call?

do you give them your MTL2008... and ask if the interview was scheduled?

or do you ask if *any* new interviews were scheduled?

I might call tomorrow if we need a volunteer

No, I give them my MTL2007... b/c our case is older.

I just ask if I have an interview date yet. Sometimes they just say no, sometimes they give me more info (like when we became eligible for the interview). I haven't asked about other interviews, but you could certainly give it a try.

That's weird, we're MTL2008. And we're just as old as you lol. I wonder why that is? Wait a sec I know it's cuz you were approved in 2007? We weren't until 2008? I bet that's it. I could just delete this now and not post, but what the heck.

And YES call tomorrow ! I'm calling Friday for sure. It will be 2 weeks then since my last call.

Hello Everyone,

According to our lawyer in LA and our Congressman the interview process is unlike the petition process ie. priority dates. The interviews are filled in batches ie. Monthly. So depending on the numbers one could have sent in packet 3 a month before the other but their interview dates could technically fall on the same day.

Until there is enough of us to fill up the month they won't issue interviews thus the inactivity for some Feb/Mar/Apr couples waiting for dates.

Here is the part that sucks...the later into spring/summer we go with no dates the longer the wait times get due to "holidays". In the spring/summer the number of interviews they book per month decreases by almost half due to understaffing.

Anyhow....we are farther along then most....keep calling....sooner or later everyone will get their day!

Good Luck

You're pretty much right. We were approved in 2007 but I think more importantly our P3 was sent out in 2007.

Wow, I don't know how you've waited 2 weeks to call! I've been calling every 2-3 days. l

yeah... i feel tomorrow will be the day !

I keep feeling this will be the week and it keeps not happening. Ever since wolverine & jonandmary got their dates I've felt that way.

Apparently I've been jumping the gun.

[melusine 5]

same here

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

I hope it happens tomorrow.

I'm soooo totally bummed and I need some cheering up.

I hope you get your dates!!!!

[rae_and_scott 1]

I hope we all do really soon.

I hope we have one of those super exciting days or couple of days where a whole slew of us are scheduled (which sounds likely that that's how they work it).

I think I am just feeling extra bummed b/c Scott just left. I would be happy if this ends up being our last visit b/c the next one is in Montreal.

I'm sorry.

I'm ultra bummed too. I have 3 days off over my birthday and I wanted Nick to come but he can't get off work.

I feel like crying constantly.

I am bummed for you guys, and so hoping you get your interviews soon. Come on Montreal speed it up

Ugh, I HATE having time off and either we can't get together for work reasons or b/c tickets just cost too much. It feels so wasted.

Is your birthday over Memorial Day weekend?
