[CutienPurg 0]

we were bypassed by a few as well but it wasn't for long..........it'll happen......i know its a sucky feeling watching ppl get by you. many times i was typing congrats whilst crying

It's great news that some of you are getting interview letters, but Alan and Sharon -- how frustrating that is -- and two lousy emails too. I'm hopeful that Montreal will start getting back on track soon. I too spoke to my congresswoman (who happens to be the Chair of the Immigration Committee in the House) but her people have not gotten back to me at all. I hope you have more luck than I did!

soon... one day soon....babys grow up way too fast!

at the point were at in our lives, I cant give mtl but another month or so before i just start looking for work in canada, and just start the move that direction. My wife and 6month old baby just isnt working out so well staying with her mother... and i just cant afford rent in canada + mortage in the US=P

I could rant and rave all day... but where would that get me?... hehe, lets try some positive reinforcement!

Hura MTL! You can do it!.... hit the "print" button...... put the letter in the envelope... Atta Boy!... now step over to the mail bin.... good job!

[piosenka 0]

We need a cheerleader chant:

Go, go Ol' Montreal

Please don't get mad, when we call

Rest assured we're going crazy too

But we're not nearly as crabby as you

Please don't mind this silly chant

It's a more humorous, healthy way to rant

Missing our loved ones is all we can do

Productivity is where you need a clue

All we want is an interview date

So don't email back at us with so much hate

We do so much research, to not get robbed

AND WE SURE AS HELL DONT WANT YOUR JOB!

LMAO .......i snorted and pee'd a lil bit

On April 16 I posted :

Some update:

Packet 3 sent on December 8, case status = Completed as per Montreal, entered to their system, waiting for an appoitment to be scheduled.

Called today to MTL to find out if appoitment was scheduled.

As of today not scheduled yet, estimated time to be is June, July - got an answer over the phone,

she ( lady on the phone) mentioned that it takes 4- 6 month now as they have long list of applicants, previosly, when called on January 28 was told that it may take 4- 12 weeks from January

As it passed (12 weeks), I thought I may have date in the system... not yet

New update from LadyK1:

On April 23 got an appoitment letter with an interview date for May 30 .

It seems that MTL is scheduling December for May...

Posted this to let know to others how things are going as myself was looking others timeframes.

So, based on this, my fiancé isn't going to get his interview until sometime in August. And I say, yet again, MONTREAL HAS HAD OUR FILE SINCE NOVEMBER. My fiancé never even got Packet 3 in the mail; he actually had to pick it up!!!

*rips my hair out*

I just got an email from the Montreal Consulate. They recieved my package 3 on Jan 17th.

They said in the email that my interview could be in four months due to the backload of interviews to be done to date.

Unbelievble.

[Allie 5]

Do they mean 4 months from present or 4 months from Jan 17 when they received packet 3

Last weeek they emailed me stating June, July. I'm close to your timeline

[Presgirl 0]

I contacted my Congressperson last month (March 16th), right after one of the consular employees quoted June / July to me and stated that Montreal was way behind. The person I spoke with told me that she'd contact me again after she had spoken to Montreal. Well, yesterday I received an email follow-up. The congressperson's representative phoned Montreal and was given basically the same info that we'd been given -- no interview, a letter will be mailed. What is different is that the consulate denied being behind on the scheduling of interviews and said they were well within the timelines. They also said that they would call the congressperson's office back with an update -- which they didn't.

Fast forward to yesterday when I receive a telephone call and an email from the congresswoman's office, with an attached letter sent to Montreal dated yesterday. When the congressperson's office didn't hear back, they generated this letter requesting timeline information ASAP. The congressional aide was so angry that Montreal hadn't gotten back to her that she spoke to my congressperson directly and complained. According to the aide, Montreal is having a number of issues right now.

I haven't heard anything else from the congressional aide, and to be truthful, I don't expect to. I guess I will just continue with this most horrendous of waits and try to think positively.

Sorry for the ramble....

Definitely keep us posted if you hear anything new
