MTL Timeline to Interview

[Ron/Sharon 0]

Hmm. Am I missing something? I called Montreal today and they say to stay on the line. I sat there for 35minutes listening to dead air. No hold music, nobody ever picked up. I called 514-398-9695, hit option 4 at 2:30pm today.

Am I calling the wrong number?

At this time I'm on hold with them with music, the two previous calls were dead air, been waiting for 24 minutes now. They are doing a very good job at ignoring us today. It is Monday so they are probably still hung-over from the weekend.

Sometimes you do get dead air, and then a bit o'music, then dead air again. Hang in there you guys.

45 minutes - man this is crazy. I was once on hold for circa 58 minutes before I:

1.- Cursed in Croatian (in case they were listening in he he)

2.- Threw my notebook in the floor and cursed a bit mor

3.- hung up... (trying to bring a smile to you my friend)

Have they answered yet? Or even better.... can you call the DoS? They were way quicker in answering the phone....

Ugh, you guys got me to call today so you can't be upset with me today - I tried 4 times. I tried just after 3 and was on hold for half an hour (worked out b/c the child I am taking care of was taking her nap during that time.) After half an hour I finally gave up. Classical music the whole half hour. Tried again ten minutes later and like some of you all I got was dead air. Tried again around 3:15 and 7 minutes of classical music. Finally tried again 5 minutes before 4 and all I got was again dead air. I don't feel like wasting my calling card anymore lol. I was hoping they'd email me back but no response either... There isn't any holiday in Canada or the U.S. that I knew of... I was thinking of calling tomorrow but if you guys are all on hold too I don't know that I'll ever get through lol.

Hey all. What is the correct email address to ask Montreal about an interview date? The one I see listed in the Embassy Info is : Montreal-IV-DV@state.gov I just want to make sure this is correct.

Thanks so much.

Oops I meant I tried a couple of minutes after 2 when they start taking calls.

What's with their recorded message talking about calling to schedule your non-immigrant visa interview and providing a 900 number. Is this a trick?

I got confused by that too... They are probably referring to other visas (like work and student visas.)

PS. I was teasing about the 'upset' thing - I know you all weren't upset with me - just looking out for me to make sure I know when my interview is if they've scheduled it!!!
