August at the consulate

[mtlgato 2]

My experience in the work force tells me that August, for a lot of people, is not a hard-working month (to say the least).

Does anyone have any hunches about whether or to what extent August will be a "normal" month at the MTL consulate? Heaven forbid that it should be sub-normal. Normal is bad enough!!!

I actually *think* they get more days off in July...but I'm just not sure that we'll see a lot of interviews for August.

Currently there are 13 VJ members with K-1 interviews in August, although there are NO K-1 interviews in July (oddly). There are 6 IR-1/CR-1 in July, but there are none in August. Someone is working but it may not be on IR-1/CR-1 stuff in August.

You're assuming they're working harder the other 11 months?

It's really not super unusual there are no K-1 interviews in July. From what I've seen in the past, every now and then there is a month with a big group of CR-1/IR-1 interviews, and when this happens there are usually not very many K-1's being interviewed, if at all. Unfortunately for CR-1/IR-1's, it seems like that doesn't happen as often as big groups of K-1 interviews.

As far as the summertime, I'm not really sure... However, things always seem to slow down around Christmas and New Years by quite a lot.

I *hope* it's not too late for August CR1/IR1 interviews...But maybe it will only be a month for K-1. That would make me very, very sad

They better not slow down in Aug! I am expecting to find out when my interview date is around then!

Most likely things will slow down as with any employer, most employees take holidays during the summer
