My fiance' has an interview date! I called on Friday, March 19, 2010 at 4 p.m. on a whim thinking, well, back in Jan. they assigned some interview dates. Gave the woman (Lois) the beneficiary's name and birthdate and asked if an interview date had a been assigned. Lo and behold his interview date at Montreal consulate is May 3, 2010! It is a whole 6 weeks earlier than I expected! It is great to know though so we can start making plans for his moving here and such. I am so excited, relieved, and grateful! Hallelujah!

Congrats! It really does make waiting a bit easier when you have a date to wait for. A lot better than the USCIS portion where it can take anywhere from 1 month to 5 or more! Glad things are moving along for you, and best of luck to you. :D

Thank you all sooo much!!! I def. think it was the congressman's office that got my officer to move on the case. THANK YOU EVERYONE for the support!! : )

That was one long wait! Congratulations, and hope the rest of the process goes more smoothly for you. :)

I called DOS this morning and got my interview date... May 7th!!! :D Adds a bit more pressure for a May 23rd wedding though, hah! :blink:

I'm just glad we finally know the date. Hope things keep moving along for everyone else!!!

Fantastic! I sure wish they would hire more help up there, though, so y'all didn't have to wait for so long. Godspeed to you, and hope everything goes oh so smooth!
