Please forgive me and my A.D.D. :hehe: as I tried to find these answers and couldn't:

1. The Montreal U.S. Consulate takes its time to give you the interview date, and then the date is soon after you receive the letter?

2. This letter is a.k.a. "packet 4"?

3. I see 2 couples have been waiting just over 50 days to get their interview scheduled. How common is it for Montreal U.S. Consulate to not mail the letter and people have only found out by calling or emailing?

I see that they have been taking less time than they did for all the approved-in-the-Spring couples....still way longer than Vancouver...grrrrrr.

Thanks for any help.

You will do foolish things.

Do them with enthusiasm!!

Don't just do something. Sit there.

K1: Flew to the U.S. of A. – January 9th, 2008 (HELLO CHI-TOWN!!! I'm here.)

Tied the knot (legal ceremony, part one) – January 26th, 2008 (kinda spontaneous)

AOS: Mailed V-Day; received February 15th, 2007 – phew!

I-485 application transferred to CSC – March 12th, 2008

Travel/Work approval notices via email – April 23rd, 2008

Green card/residency card: email notice of approval – August 28th, 2008 yippeeeee!!!

Funny-looking card arrives – September 6th, 2008 :)

Mailed request to remove conditions – July 7, 2010

Landed permanent resident approved – August 23rd, 2010

Second funny looking card arrives – August 31st, 2010

1.Yes MTL can take their time giving you a date for the interview, but not always do they give you next to no notice for the interview.

2. Yep. Interview letter is in Pkt 4.

3. There have been a few cases where no one got a letter. They called/emailed and found out that they did indeed have an interview scheduled. Now, you can't even email them. They have some stupid automatic thingy that emails you back.

Hope this helps you with your questions.
