MTL Timeline to Interview

[Melyssa 0]

So who got my spot?

I wonder if it was a Vjer ... I hope so.

For those of who didn't catch my thread, I was able to ask for a December interview instead of July.

I can't believe how nutty that thread got; O Canad(ian subforum) how I love thee.

I wish!

I can't imagine wanting a Dec interview instead of July! September or October is when I'm guessing mine will be and that already seems too far away...

Wow! I thought I missed your thread but I didn't. It would appear I missed all the 'nutty' replies. Whoa! It makes sense now! I'd rather have the earlier interview date but I wouldn't want to put financial strain either knowing there was a way to prevent it without causing unnecessary debt to built up faster!

I do wish I got your original date though, but I still doubt I will get one until Sept.!

Would it be possible to insert a (page break) at Tom & Laura, for me that seems to be the only way to view the entire list.

Thanks for keeping the list going.

Since NVC schedules the IR1/CR1 interviews, are they scheduled any quicker than if the montreal consulate scheduled it?! I know this is wishful thinking, just seeing if anyone knows.

since when is it okay to just berate people?

Yes, I didn't forward my mail because I thought I had all my loose ends tied.

My fiance accidentally put that address (which I still is a mistake on his part) but if he realized that putting the address I was moving to in 3 days just makes more sense, this wouldn't have happened.

I've moved before and didn't forward my mail then either (and oh look, the sky didn't fall!)

So, I've since then realized the error, changed the address (which wasn't my mistake in the first place; and the I-129F forms that I filled out and mailed to him did in fact have my new address but for whatever reason, he filled out one too and failed to notice that the address thing would become an issue) and now, everything fine!

SO, can we just stop the harassment about this? It's bad enough that I lost 3 weeks because of this, but I really don't need this from people I once thought of as fellow friends in this process.

Thanks.

Liz, Udella needs a sense of humor.....I TOTALLY got the joke, and your frustration! Sound off all you want, that's what "friends" are for.

Udella: Loosen the bone Wilma, we're all frustrated!

[L_n_O 3]

And about the name calling, Yes, I called him a dumbass and stand by that decision

No, I wont apologize for that

And guess what, he knows that I did too!

Cuz we talk with each other honestly...!!

So, if he got over it, and he knows as well as I do, (the name-caller) that it wasn't spiteful, why is it that some others can't get over it

I'm sorry, I guess we don't have the same humour.

And that's fine with me too.

Yes NVC schedules interviews for IR1/CR1 and yes they are faster at scheduling than Montreal does for K1/K3

[Lance27 19]

Never ment to berate anyone, Just saying that I am obviously an absentminded person and forget to do stuff even though I think I get all my loose ends tied. I've always signed up for mail forwarding since it makes me more comfortable and it has always helped me out.

Sorry If it came accross as me taking a shot at ya Liz.

Yeah, no kidding. Talk about tipping the monkey barrel over!

liz_legend: glad that you and your fiance can joke about each other's mistakes without getting into hissy fits. Take our advice with a grain of salt, we just want the best for you.

Stuff happens; I had to remind my gloating fiance that he'd forgotten to copy all of our I-129F package so we'd have a copy (he was gloating over how I'd be worried he'd mess up. He was not happy to have 'spoke too soon') only to discover when I got Packet 3 from MTL that he'd spelled my name wrong! ("You're marrying me and you don't even know how to spell my name?!" "I was stressing over the rest of the package!" "Grrr" "Snarrl")

This process is so agonizing that we've been snapping back and forth at one another like caged dogs. It helps that we usually recognize the underlying problem shortly, which is that we miss one another desperately and it's hell to be separate like this. The internet leaves immense room for all sorts of misunderstandings, too, doesn't it, which always seems to be a problem on forums especially.

I was pretty surprised at the 'nutty' replies myself! When I talked to MTL yesterday, I got the impression that the wait list was 5 months long, so me asking for an interview 6 months in advance was "not a problem", thus I suspect you might be right in your Sept estimate.

Does anyone else giggle over the accent of the french half of the MTL menu? I mean, I'm impressed that it's there, since presumably they aren't required to have it because the US consulate is technically an American government office and therefore not bound by Canada's bilingual laws.

I had to laugh when i read on this forum that other posters have gotten that horrible accented woman on the phone at the MTL consulate. First time i called her i had 3 questions, she answered one (rudely) and then hung up me. That accent is French, btw. She must be a Quebec native that works there, which is odd.

About the forwarding address thing: I have moved 3 times since this process began ( i live in Toronto and it is hard to find a living arrangement that does not require a lease, so i've been doing temporary arrangements), let MTL know of my new address every time, and they still sent to my original address.

Lynette, could you please post here or PM me once you receive your Packet4/Interview letter in the mail. I just want to know approximately how long it takes from the day they schedule to the time you receive it in the mail.

Thank you

I received my letter today .. it was post marked on the envelope June 11th ... 3 days from Montreal to hear (it took from Thursday to Monday to pop it in the mail)

[Udella&Wiz 325]

I have a great sense of humor. What I disagree with is calling the person you are going to marry names like dumbass. It's not funny in ANY context. I can not fathom using that term or any other derogitory name on my fiancee for any reason.

[lynamon 0]

My apologies, but I would like to request that the bantering be carried forth in private PM's .. this is the MTL Timeline to Interview thread and I'm sure that the majority would not like to see it locked.

Now on to Alan and Sharon ... we haven't heard whether or not you have contacted Montreal recently .. I've been crossing both my fingers and toes for you
