Yeah I was in shock when I read the part about patience and the thankyou lol lol

Yes we know the feeling you speak off Lorry and I thought for sure I would be leaving WA before May 12 for the interview

We're hoping that everyone that is in our timeline and so close gets that letter soon then averybody else moves along also

Thanks for the kind words of confidence in Montreal

The reason that your case might be taking longer than others is based on when the Embassy actually gets the case, not when it is first put into the system.

Bullsh*t. If they went by the date they receive the cases, my fiancé would have been here a long time ago.

I think it's a pretty well established fact that the consulate, for the most part, bases things on the receipt date of the checklist/Packet 3.

Once again... I stress "for the most part". We all know that they never play by their own rules and often people get left behind in line for no good reason.

I am happy for you all guys, I really am.

On the other hand, I am feeling sh!!ty today... see my post in Canada section:

Guess it's time to push Congressman's or Senator's or someone's buttons. We need to get out of here soon. Long story made short - our residence in Canada is contingent on B's grad student status, and he is done - so there is also Immigration Canada to worry about (though I doubt they will knock on our door and kick us out -I assume they are busier with catching bad people than with foreign students staying a little longer). Our permits to stay in Canada are good till march 2008, but what can I tell you about staying longer than needed? We want to go home Anyways. This sucks. Really sucks. Not happy. At all.

Sorry about the ranting, but can't help myself.

Ok so I emailed Montreal IV today to inquire if an interview was scheduled and was told not yet and that it might be booked in the next 1-3 months.

So for those sending in their packet 3's now, their 5-7 month estimate is about right.... Hopefully they wont get any more backlogged.

add me!!

I e-mailed Montreal last Wednesday asking if an interview had been set up (I wasn't actaully expecting that to be the case) and, if not, for a possible estimate as to how much longer we would be waiting. This is the response I got today:

"Hi, you are on the waiting list. Your interview will be booked by August

or September"

So, really, our "Montreal Quote of the Day" fits in pretty much with what Brian and I were predicting based on the timelines here.
