K-1 people waiting for interviews at Montreal

[jmd77 1]

I have been calling weekly asking the dreaded "any interview yet" question Still waiting!! The waiting definitley is most difficult the closer you get to the end.

Any word on your interview ColleenS? Our packet 3 was only a couple days behind you, so we may be close together on the interview. Last Friday, DoS told me everything looked perfect but that Montreal had not assigned a date yet. This waiting/no control is the worst.

I am now officially waiting for an interview in MTL. DOS said MTL logged our P3 on 11/25. Hopefully the wait won't be too long. I hope some of the earlier couples get an interview soon...that should be a sign of good things to come!

Press 1, then 0. Don't listen to the menu, it's super long.

Make sure to have your consulate case # ready.

Oh thank goodness I haven't had to dial that number in almost a month!

Thanks. That was very helpful, even if she didn't have any information for me.

All they have is a yes or no really. If you're lucky you won't get a "fake yes" like we did.

It'll work out, it just takes a bit. Be thankful it's a K1 and not a IR1/CR1 right now. Their time lines are ridiculous.

Here's to Montreal keeping up with interview scheduling!

My biggest advice is really to expect the WORST. Just try to plan as though the interviews not there -- dont try to quit your jobs, dont send all your winter clothes to the US like I did, dont anticipitate that it will be fast. I think we did and we were so disappointed. Goodluck to all of you waiting, and really, the wait and all the annoyances in between, is really worth it because you will eventually be together. *big hugs*

So true darkshilde794, the wait is going to be worth it !!! Go Montreal !!!

I have yet to call this week...I usually do Wed and Friday calls, but so far I haven't heard anything. They told me that they have all the paperwork they need, so it is just waiting for them to schedule.

So true...I got my hopes all up because of Julybrides timeline and then the wait felt like forever. I definately hope you guys get quick interviews, I know they are trying to get more people through!

Heck, you could do what I did... Tell everyone you probably won't be lucky enough to leave until March, and then find yourself eating your words after that fateful phone call.

Like darkchilde said, expect the worst. It works out better on your emotions, and it's always better to be pleasantly surprised.

I'm hoping we won't need to change our April 9th wedding date. I'm also hoping we'll hear soon enough so we can finalize plans and send out invitations. I know, I know...greedy me

[Danu 19]

lol. not so greedy, just hopeful The only reason I am super cautious now is I sent my P3 back in July (cuz they had to send a new one so I ended up being 3 weeks behind where I should have lol). We were suppose to get married Oct 16, which would have been about 3-4 months ish, but I just had my interview 2 weeks ago which put me at almost the 5 month mark from returning my P3. They have sped up a bit now and I really hope they continue to do so, but from now on with this process I'm just going to assume its going to take forever

5 months?! Eeekkk! I'd surely be screwed if I end up there. Fingers are crossed

Hi everyone! it's been a while since i've been on the site, but just wanted to let you know that we are also now waiting for our interview date - we sent our packet 3 at the beginning of November and it looks like it was logged in the system on Nov 25.

All the best to everyone waiting and congrats to all who have had their interviews!
