I received email on July 29 for interview in Montreal on Sept 16.

I received email on July 29 for interview in Montreal on Sept 16.

Thanks but the appointments are specific to Vancouver. Their dates will be different from Montreals.

Soonest could be in a few days or a week or two--probably not longer, (unless you want it to be longer--there will also be dates further on, and you get to choose). And you'll probably get packet 4 by tomorrow.

Thanks, I was just looking for a date to work with. I submitted everything on Wednesday less than two hours after they emailed packet three. Would have been faster but of course it was on one of our busiest sale days of the whole year.

Anyways, I did not hear back on Friday at all, despite sending a second email because I want to verify they got the fax and that I didn't mistakenly send all of our personal info into someone elses hands.

And it's a long weekend here which means I wont get it until Tuesday at least. I've done a thorough sweep of other timelines at the same consulate over the last year, and everyone who emailed for packet four received it the next day or the day after at latest, which should have been Friday. I know its still way better than the months of waiting, but I'm just tired of all this waiting..... ;(;(

Hi ,how did you get packet 3 ?By email or mail.I'm also waiting my packet 3 also..

[Meg and Danny 25]

I sent them an email asking to send it by email when my status changed to ready on the NVC website.
Under normal circumstances when you fax back all the information in packet 3, you can then also request packet 4 be sent to you by email. Normally they send it to you within 2 days of receiving the packet 3 by email, sometimes even same day. but not for me.

Have you checked the NVC website? when did it change to ready, or does it not say ready yet?

Are you sure the US consulate observes the Canadian holiday?

As far as anything I can find, yes. But hope I'm wrong.

US consulates in Canada observe both Canadian and US holidays, provincial and federal.

I just found this topic. The second post from the top talks about the ease of getting an appointment through the vancouver consulate. This might help you. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/443019-booking-vancouver-medical-interview/

I seem to be having the same issue! Did you hear back from them yet? I emailed them last Friday (so tmrw makes a week) Saying I faxed them the required documents and please to confirm, also that I would like packet 4 by email. I'm getting tired of the waiting too, I thought Vancouver was pretty quick to reply. Well they were the last time I emailed them requesting packet 3, the reply only took a day or 2. Im not sure if I should email them a second time. Im ready to take the medical and have the interview I'm just waiting on them to get back to me..

i don't know if you still need the info on how long it is taking right now to book an appointment. I am waiting on packet 4 right now. However, i did go to the appointment booking site and I registered on the site https://usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/ss_country_welcome When you try to book an appointment it asks you if you have received confirmation to book an appointment from the consulate. When you see that click no, because you havn't gotten packet 4 yet. But then it tells you how many days until the next appointment. Its says 13 days right now. So sept 3.
