Think there is a chance?

My wife is currently pregnant and due at the end of November. We received NOA1 from the CSC for both her and our 18 month old son on March 30, 2009 but have not heard anything since then. Do you think there is any possibility left that they will be approved before she gives birth?

We do keep a Montreal timeline to interview thread in the Canada forum, the current wait time between completion at NVC and interview in Montreal is around 3 months.

If you were finished NVC right now and got all your documents to NVC right away and it was approved quickly with no RFE there is a slim possibility she might get an interview in November - which as you mentioned is not ideal anyway.

More than likely you will just have to wait and see when they schedule her and reschedule if need be - that's not an ideal option as it seems to take a few months to get it rescheduled.

What you could do is slow down your NVC process by not sending the forms back in too quickly - so you finish with NVC say at the end of September - then in theory her interview would be scheduled around December.

However! This is immigration - not science -

Sorry, that should have read, if your documents were on their way to NVC now (ie: you had your NOA2)

What you and your wife could do, is once you recieve notice that your case is at the Montreal Consulate, send them an e-mail stating that your wife is X weeks pregnant and due to health concerns and risks for herself and the baby travelling so late in the pregnancy, is it possible to have the interview moved forward. Also mention that this can be confirmed by her physician. The other option is to still inform the consulate of her due date and risks of travelling near her due date so that your not scheduled at that time for an interview and have to go through the hassel of having to cancel and re-schedule. The time lines are close for the two of you, but keep your fingers crossed, you never know.

I know that USCIS will not expedite cases based on pregnancy etc.., but once the individual consulates have the case, it is up to them if they will expedite or schedule interviews around a request if someone's health could be at risk. It is a possibility they will try and accomodate the request.

Good Luck and congrats on the 2nd edition

Thanks . I hadn't thought of the issue with having to re-schedule, that would be a real pain. Currently looking at the possiblilty of her moving to Vancouver in the mean time as well (I am in Seattle).
