So the number NVC assigned me starts with VAC which I'm lead to believe means Vancouver but now that the status is ready is says it is ready to make an interview in Montreal? So which is it? Thought? Anyone in the same boat?

If you receive a case number from NVC with MTL that is Montreal. I don't know what Vancouvers is. But I believe VAC is Vermont?

I believe that case number that starts with VAC means Vancouver and MTL is for Montreal. Vermont Service Center is VSC.

Hope that helps!

VAC is Vancouver. If you live Manitoba and west, you go to Vancouver, if you live Ontario and east you go to Montreal.


Vermont service center is EAC California service center is WAC.

I do indeed have a VAC number. Hoping that is correct and that the blurb stating Montreal is incorrect. I do live in manitoba(the cut off) but before we knew better we wrote Montreal on our I-129f form. Hoping it didn't cause this discrepancy.
