Here's the reply to an email I sent Montreal yesterday inquiring about an interview date.

I had stated in my inquiry I saw where people with similar timelines to me were getting interview dates and I was wondering whether I would been scheduled for an appointment soon also

"Unfortunately your appointment still has't been booked. There are many factors when booking an appointment and each case is different.

From the time the file is received and the packet sent. We will advise you by mail once your the appointment is scheduled"

Thank you

"From the time the file is received and the packet sent"... they take this into consideration, as well? Why is it that they told me that my fiancé is on the waiting list as of March 2nd, considering that they got the petition from the NVC in late November, if that's the case?

F*cking Montréal and its inconsistencies...

Or unless they mean that they base it on when they send out Packet 3 and when we return them... which seems to me that that is how they do it... *sigh*

02/04/09 - Our best friends bail us out by giving us the money to file for the replacement green card!

02/12/09 - E-filed I-90 for the replacement green card along with the $370 filing fee (including biometrics)

Montreal gave us an interview date of May 9th at 8:30 a.m. when Jon called through! I'm still in shock ...

:blink:

Whoa, they let you know only 8 days before? I'm confused! If Jon hadn't called, would you have known your interview date? I mean, it's great news and congrats... but, did they just decide to fill your case in when someone else cancelled or something? Does it have to do with your involvement with your congress person?

From what Jon said, he stayed on despite the "stay on only in emergency situations" and stated directly to the lady who answered that he had an interview for employment on Thursday and needed definitive information for that purpose. She checked the computer and said May 9, 8:30. I have a feeling that it may have been a cancellation and he got lucky (or the Congressional inquiry helped), but either way it is absolutely short notice. It also shows the flaws of the system. We asked about a cancellation list ages ago -- they said that people who are next in line get cancellations (via phone call) -- so if this IS a cancellation, were we next in line or are they just sick of us for calling our Congresswoman?

When I emailed my Congresswoman's Rep, she said that often the inquiry is what they need to get them moving, but then, why the negative reply to her office?

I just don't know.

I also feel very blessed that our interview is scheduled, but I feel horrible that so many December/January and beyond folks haven't heard a thing. I asked my Congresional Rep to keep inquiring about Montreal; I think we all should do that.

Thanks for the well-wishes! :blush:

Email Attempt Two: March 27, 2007 -- No Date

Phone Call Two: April 13, 2007: No Date: She said that while no date is scheduled, they're moving toward our date of January 17th and that late May seems likely for an interview.

Phone Call Three: April 17, 2007 -- No Date: Our interview should be within the 6-8 week timeframe.

Letter from Congressional Representative: We have a backlog of up to six months for appointments. It is doubtful we will be able to accommodate him before June.

I contacted my Congresswoman back in March and asked that her office look into the backlog in Montreal. I didn't request she check on our case specifically........I got no response from her. Needless to say I wont be joining her next campaign... and I will consider her the greater of 2 evils when I cast my vote. Yeah I know big deal eh!!

HEY EVERYONE

i need to apologize for not being on here sooner. My interview was scheduled for march 29, but i had to cancel it because my daughters case was so far behind. I didnt want to have to make 2 trips to montreal, for interviews, i wanted them both on the same day, to save us money lol. So we now have new interview date for May 23 at 9:30am.

I am so stressed out about everything that i have been avoiding coming on here because it makes me nervous to read about interviews, denials and problems that people have. My nerves are so bad from going thru this all, i'm sure u know what i mean lol.

I have been trying my best not to think about it, but i'm still terrified. good luck to all!

May 23 2007 IS OUR INTERVIEW, PLEASE PRAY FOR US!
