How about a thread with a list of people waiting so it's easier to see at a glance how long it's taking... kinda like the one I'm upkeeping in the K3 forum.... I too read the Montreal Waiting Room thread, and it took me forever to read :)

I would be happy to start it... any other takers ?

If your petition was approved for an I-130 immigrant visa the file will be processed at the National Visa Center (NVC) in Portsmouth, NH and only sent to us once the interview is scheduled. Their telephone number is 603-334-0700.

If you approval was for an I-129 K petition, the processing time is currently 8 – 12 months.

Hi, the date that I returned my Packet 3 is wrong since I haven't yet returned 1/12/07 is th date I recieved packet 3 from the consulate.

This part is a rant

I am doing the big thing with the RCMP and I just called the consulate since petition expired on the 7th of this month and told them I was waiting for the RCMP docs and that I wasn't added to thier system until a month after I sent it to them and a month after they got it, the consulate said I should recieve everything from the RCMP by August. They were told that getting background checks will take up to 6 months

8 to 12 months What the hell. Everytime someone calls that place it's a different time frame

Last week when I called I was told 4 to 5 months The time before that I was told 2 to 4 months

I'm starting to wonder if any of em working there know exactly what the time frame is in Montreal
