MTL Timeline to Interview

[lynamon 0]

Oh dear ... I think that my file will end up on the backburner .. I called again today (I really couldn't help myself) .. when I gave my MTL # the man that answered put me on hold .. for a moment there my heart was in my throat .. then he came back and burst my bubble by telling me no interview scheduled.

I'm a planner and not being able to plan anything is driving me crazy ....... Ed's not well right now from his radiation treatments, my landlord just sold the house I'm living in and I have to be out by July 31 ... soooo many things that need to get done that can't be planned .... all because I need a date. A solid date to organize my life ... a definite date to look forward to!

lynamon, sounds more like the guy didn't have a clue.

Looking at the timelines, it would seem it is Montreal, that your up next! You'll probably be July by what I'm reading on here.

*keeping my fingers crossed for you*

You have to be in July for sure since there is no one else left to be scheduled from Jan atleast not from VJ.

Hang in there your up next.

Sweetie... if MTL only schedules after the 15th (someone said that to me in one of the threads, think it was Matt and he was pretty sure) why would you spend money on a call that likely will give no results? Hang on til the 16th/17th me thinks - and in the meanwhile we can all plot how to sneak you in the July distinguished MTL VIP list.

Lynamon.....I understand your frustration. I couldn't resist emailing yesterday (and my timeline is after yours)and the response I got was a 1 liner:

Right now you are on the waiting list

Well...gee, thanks. No pleasantries needed, no...thanks for contacting us. My fiance is beginning to wonder why he loves his country so much when they seem to treat immigrants so badly...at least the ones who want to enter legally (yes, we could go down that ugly road, but I won't!)

I agree with the last comment about trying to hold off till after the 15th...at least they could tell you conclusively if you had been scheduled, right!

I should hold off until after the 15th and quite frankly I probably will .. only thing is is I know that you can't trust Montreal because others here have gotten their interviews without it "being after the 15th". They say that they never get cancellations .. that people just don't show up .. then how does that explain when people get an interview within 2 weeks when they call and are persistant ... mysteriously squeeeeezed in. I wonder that if it's because they call at the right time?

Maybe email them today, might get something Monday and then call on Tuesday.

[Lance27 19]

Yup, I would agree... Email them tomorrow or Monday and hopefully you will have some good news. If not then you can call them after the 15th.

Hello everyone.

Sorry it's taken so long to get back on here, but work has kept me pretty overwhelmed. Just to update you on OUR situation, I've just gotten off of the phone with my Senator's office, (obviously because nothing has moved forward on our case yet) and Montreal has given her yet another story. First, they are telling her that our process was completed on FEBRUARY 7th. I'm not exactly sure how this part of the process goes, but we had received notification that our packet had been received and entered into the system back in December. They also indicated that they had received an inquiry from our congressman. They promised that the case would be processed as fast as possible, but that no one receives preferential treatment (we all get the same shitty treatment in other words). I was really freaking out seeing all the January applicants getting interview dates while we sat here wondering ####### was going on up there. Well, I guess it makes perfect sense if our packet had been laying on someone's desk for 2 months. I'm dreading the call to Sharon to tell her this latest news, as she's been at her wits' end for the last 3 months. But what can you do........

Once we DO have an interview date, I'll be driving 1300 miles to pick her up, then head to Montreal, get the visa (hopefully), and then we plan on driving back via the Blue Ridge Parkway and camping for a few days before getting back into MORE Government paperwork and waiting.

Keep your smiles on, this has to end sooner or later for all of us

My fiance has contacted her senator twice and the we kinda got the same story...as 'Alan & Sharon''s .... I think MTL has probably come to reply all "status calls" with more or less the same "#######"!

Anyways, none of us want this to extend beyond their "expected times"!... let's pray MTL gets their act together and hires/speed up the back logs!
