Welcome, Kristik. Oh, I so feel the pain of the waiting and the not knowing when things will happen. I am hoping my petition will be approved when VJ says it will be otherwise my fiance' probably won't get an interview at the Montreal Consulate in time for our proposed wedding date of July 11, 2010. I understand the tears too as I was reading through the thread today about people's wait times for the Montreal, Canada consulate to let them know when an interview would be scheduled. I am sincerely looking forward to marrying my fiance'! Intent to marry is definitely there. I am going to pray harder that the CSC processes things as quickly as they can. I think for my situation it will be the waiting for the interview step that will take the longest! It sounds like there are some good people at the consulate in Montreal doing their best to move things along. They just need more people to get K-1 visas processed faster.

Has anyone else looked into how long it is taking your fiance'/fiancee's consulate to go from receiving the packet from the National Visa Center to having an appointment for an interview?

Well, according to other petioners, the wait time between NVC and interview at the Guatemalan embassy is 1.5 months. I really hope they don't take longer than that.

Subject of email - Case Status Information for Receipt Number AAA1000111111

Extract - "On January 5, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)"

This is what we got.

Incase anyone is wondering... I'm Leenie's Fiance.
