Just a general comment here: It looks like Montreal Consulate is highly selective on the e-mails they answer. They ignore the e-mails that I send regarding the status of my case, but they answer rapidly the questions I ask about DS 160. Strange, isn't it?

Probably because you can call DOS to find out the status of your case. They seem to be real busy so answering questions that probably should be directed to another department might take a while to get to.

07/21/2010 - AOS approved

08/04/2010 - Green Card received (and it's actually green!)

This waiting is really annoying me. It's been 2.5 months for me. You'd think they'd be able to schedule something. I just want to know so I can give proper notice to my landlord :(

They'll remember us (and everyone else) sometime and be bothered to schedule interviews.... I hope....

Montreal Interviewer: "What do you have in common with each other?"

Peachey: "We're REALLY weird."

Montreal Interviewer (incredulously to me): "Do you agree with that?"

<I think back to several days before the interview. Driving through the country, passing a field with cows...>

Peachey: "MOOOO! MOOOOO! Does this make me weird?"

Me: "No, well yes. Here, let me roll down the windows so they can hear you better!"

Peachey: "MOOOOO!!!!"

<back to interview>

Me: "Yes, yes I do."

Hey all... can a Canadian CR-1er comment here?? Just wanted to say that I too am so frustrated with the wait. I've been done with NVC since august 12th. some filers since June! We can't buy cheap plane tickets or cheap rail tickets because we don't have a date. We're going to miss our first anniversary and I don't know when i'm going to see my husband again.

I'm living in a half packed up apartment, yet I can't give notice there or at the two jobs I have. yet, all other consulates schedule dates a week or two after finishing up. THe date may be two or three months in advance but truthfully? That would be SO good. We just missed a 50% off seat sale with Air canada -- my husband could have bought his interview date flight. Via Rail is having a sale, I could have got my TO to Montreal ticket for 60$ each way... NOw?

I feel your pain, guys... I'm rooting for you all and frankly? I am just so frustrated and angry that they do this to all of us. I don't get it...

Thanks for letting me slip in here...

:)

Yep. I agree. Looking at the other consulates is a lesson in punishment, that's for sure. I am not going to give notice on my jobs until AFTER the interview, my apartment, when I get the notice, probably after the medical as I can always find a place to lay my head but I won't be able to just go and get another job so...

It's just so super frustrating and to be honest? i' read this thread a lot as I feel like you guys voice all the displeasure I feel too in this wait. Especially one poster who wants to get married on January 10th? That's so far away that you'd think it would be be possible.... my heart breaks reading about her, as well as all the others.

Frustration is my predominant emotion these days...

This lady at DoS confirmed that it was mailed out on September 25. It may have been afternoon. Maybe it will come tomorrow....(sigh)

That's true..since it was mailed out on Friday afternoon, it probably didn't get picked up by the mail man until Monday morning.

I guess I'll just wait until tomorrow!

Sometimes I wish Canada Post is like USPS and delivers mail on Saturdays...
