Interview at Montreal Consulate

[pmcolt 0]

I have a question about how an interview date is obtained at the Montreal consulate.

Late last month, my fiancée and I filled out her Packet 3 forms and mailed them back to the Montreal consulate. In the past couple days, we both got identical letters, essentially "Thank you for your submission. Please bring forms DS-156 and DS-156K with you on the date of the interview." But there is no interview date on the letter.

Will an interview date be sent in a separate letter? Do we need to call and schedule the interview? I'm a little confused.

You can now schedule your own interview. I sent our P3 back on Sept 21st and received our P4 on Oct 15th. In the letter it says how to go about scheduling your interview. You can do it online or via one of the phone numbers they have set up specifically for this purpose.

I wasn't even aware of this part of the forums. Thanks.

We mailed the P3 in on September 27th. The letter that we both received was a single page, looks nothing like the P4 images on the wiki, and says only to bring DS-156 and DS-156K to the interview, so I assume that it's not the P4? Do we need to wait for it to arrive before scheduling the interview? Based on American/Canadian's timeline, it looks like we should receive it sometime this week.

For the sake of completeness: we got the P4 documents just a couple days after I posted this, and scheduled her interview for late January. Thanks for those who replied.
