I haven't yet received my interview date. However, I know the NVC received all of my requested documents on May 22nd so I am hoping to get an interview date soon. I've noticed from other Canadian's timelines who will have their interview in Montreal that the approximate wait time from when your case is complete at NVC is approximately 7 weeks - give or take.

My question is this: Has anyone ever tried to call the consulate in Montreal and request an earlier date for your interview and if so, were you given an earlier date? As you can probably tell, I am getting kinda impatient waiting as we started our process over a year ago.

yup - Neela of Neela and Jitu user id did exactly that, in May.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Neela did, but AFTER her original interview date was assigned. There is nothing that can be done until your interview is assigned by NVC, you can then email Montreal (they don't answer the phone) and they will give you instructions on how to re-schedule your interview. Be very careful doing this, because you might end up waiting longer!

Hi,

I know the CR1 interview process is different in that you folks are given a date whereas K1 chose a date. I'll share my experience with you.

I booked June 18th and then realized I could not keep it and could not interview over the summer months so I needed to schedule one in Sept.... so when I went into the system to change my dates it would not let me. I tried again and still the same problem...so that's when I called Montreal directly and had to listen to the automated voice and press a bunch of numbers BUT I did get a live person who changed my date, cancelled my old appt, and sent me both confirmation and new appt emails within minutes. The girl I spoke with was super helpful :)

Here's the number I called.

514 400 2591

Toocool I'm pretty sure we talked to the same girl.

I took the advice Neela posted in this thread Montreal Interviews

My interview was scheduled for July 16th, I got an interview for June 26th. There are still interviews available on that date, so call NVC 603-334-0700 and see if they have booked your interview and if your case has been sent to Montreal.

Good luck :thumbs:

I130 sent May 31, 2011

I130 NOA1 June 3, 2011

I130 NOA2 Sept 27, 2011

Case Complete May 31, 2012

Interview scheduled June 5, 2012 for July 16, 2012

Medical June 19, 2012

Rescheduled interview for June 26, 2012

APPROVED!
