Wonder if anybody is having luck in scheduling their Montreal interview for end of this year/2012? I only ever receive "There are no available appointments at this time". We have to get our interview done this year or our Visa application will be terminated/expire. Tips? Suggestions?

EXPIRE? What why would it expire? Would yoou be able to call NVC or DOS request a supervisor and request a expedite?

Approved spousal visa petitions never expire. Are you on the spousal visa path or are you on the fiance(e) visa path? :time:

If you are on the fiance(e) visa path, the Consulate can extend the validity of the petition if an interview has not yet taken place.

You don't need to schedule an interview in Montreal if you are going through the CR-1/IR-1 process (spousal visa)....the NVC/Consulate schedules it for you, unless this has changed in the past year. I went through the CR-1 process last year and had mine scheduled for me.

I believe you would only need to schedule an appointment for Montreal for a K-1 (fiance) visa.

If this is wrong, someone can correct it.

You are correct in regards to how spousal visa interviews are scheduled.
