Okay so I have submitted documents on my checklist to the NVC as per their request. Does anyone know approximately how long it will take for my case to leave the NVC? Also, approx how long does it take to get an interview in Montreal? Just wondering.... so if anyone has recently been through this process from Canada and can answer my question I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

As I heard from NVC, they are scheduling interview for Embassy the second week of every month. That's mean if you don't get an email from NVC at the end of second week, you will have to wait until next schedule week.

Wedding 11/25/11

USCIS STAGE:

12/05/11: NOA1

01/03/11: NOA2! No expedite request but USC residing abroad.

NVC STAGE:

01/13/12: NVC received case

02/11/12: I-864 fee and DS3032 received by email

02/11/12: Paid AOS fee and DS3032 sent by email (auto response received immediately)

02/13/12: Choice of agent accepted

02/14/12: AOS fee PAID on payment portal

02/15/12: IV fee invoice received by email

The second week thing isn't always accurate, as our interview was assigned the last day of January. Your case won't leave the NVC until you have an interview date assigned, and getting that assigned depends on whether your checklist documents have been reviewed and you've gotten a case complete. After case complete, we got our interview date in just a week, but I've seen Canadians who recently waited two or three weeks for an assignment.
