I called the Montreal Consulate since the NVC said they sent the approved package! (March15th) According to the Shipping service the NVC uses, it takes a day to get to Canada. So, lets just say the Consulate got the approved package March 16th.....it's been 9 days and I haven't heard ANYTHING from the Montreal Consulate...I called them today...phone line said "connected" but it was just silence.....

What's going on and why isn't the phone working?!

FYI: Call 202-663-1225, hit 1 then 0 and when they answer give them your MTL number and they will tell your status from Montreal. You should prepare for a very slow process from Montreal....

We actually had a short timeline compared to other timelines with no request for additional information and it took 4 1/2 months to schedule the interview. You can call the number I sent to you everyday (they don't mind) and they will tell you what infomation has changed, etc. (i.e. your file is eligible for interview and waiting to be scheduled, or when it is approved and an interview date has been scheduled or when they mailed the packet 3. This is really all that you can do after they have the NVC file.. Slow!!!!! You should start getting the other information together during this time. Just read the portals as to what they will ask for you to have for the interview when you eventually are scheduled.

Hi There, Montreal sent my packet 3 out on the 18 and i got it on the 25th and sent it back same day as I had all the forms filled out prior to receiving the package. I just tracked it this morning and it was received at the consulate at 9:15am. It didn'ttake them long at all to sent out my packet 3 to me. Someone iIknow who is not on the site just had her interview last friday and was approved, her interview was schedule in dec but she had to cancel due to family issues, but then they rescheduled her for last friday, they seem to be runnin on a 3 month timeline from when they key in your packet 3 info.

Look anywhere from 2-5 months for an interview. Montreal is dreadfully slow in scheduling interviews, they have gotten better (some were waiting 7 months for an interview in the summer/fall). It will take a while. This process is an exercise in frustration as well as patience.

Good luck.
