So I think most people on here know about the 'weird' out of date interview letter my fiance got week before last. So I had called Montreal last Monday to see what was actually going on. The lady told me that it would be August or September for the interview. Seeing that I am now extremely paranoid because of the weird letter situation, I called again today. The lady I spoke with today tells me "He's on a huge waiting list. It's going to be a long time." I said "Do you mean maybe as late as September?" She says, "No, I mean quite possibly long after that. There is a huge backlog." :angry: I know there is nothing anyone can do about it and maybe for our particular case it's just as well, but....how does it change that drastically from one week to the next?? sigh. Sorry, just ranting, I guess.

It IS bizarre is the interview letter stating that it would happen in October. Really weird.

No. The weird letter from week before last said July 5....2006 THAT was what was weird. His first scheduled interview was October of last year. We've had to reschedule do to his illness.

WHAT?!?!?! Talk about nonsense. Wonder what exactly went on... seems pretty fishy.- Why don't you call the Department of State? they are way better with accurate info, and more pleasant than MTL.- phone is (202) 663-1225, then 1, then 0.

Congratulations Kimmbo

147 and 129 days is a really long time for approvals at VSC. When I was waiting for my approvals at CSC, VSC was running about 25-30 days while CSC was at about 95 days.

Now on to the next stage...

Congrats to all of you on your interviews!! We will soon have the joy of waiting for Montreal...just received our NOA2's today... (147 days for I-130), (129 days for I-129)

Turns out the DoS has up-to-the-minute information on all cases (this from pushbrk who knows a lot about this) - they are way nicer than MTL personnel, and take calls all day long during office hours. CALL THEM my friend!!!! They may be able to shed some light into your case!

Peace, L.

HAHA.. Congratulations, I guess I will be seeing you on the 15th. :)

I am still trying to see if they can move me up to first week of August since we are closing on our house on the 20 and I would like to be there before the closing.

Hopefully they will get all of March P3 senders in August.
