Getting an earlier interview date in Montreal

[Evan11 0]

Hey Gang,

Sorry in advance if this has been asked already, I've tried searching this topic a few times but I haven't been able to find an answer.

Does anyone know how to go about receiving an earlier interview date in Montreal for an IR-1/ CR-1 Visa? Is it a matter of calling every day and hoping for an cancellation spot to open up? Does it ever happen? I remember reading somebody had done it recently, but I couldn't find the thread they posted in.

We just got our case complete last week, so we haven't gotten our interview package/ date yet. I imagine the number to call would be somewhere in the letter?

Thanks!

Unfortunately you can't call the Montreal consulate IV unit. They have online form you can fill out which is the only way of communication when you are chasing a IR1/CR1 visa. You can try contacting them that way,

Can't hurt to ask, I'm sure they have cancellations.

Hi Evan11 - did you get your interview date yet? If so, may I ask when it scheduled for as of right now?

Hey Sarah, we haven't gotten our date yet, but I haven't called since last Friday. I've heard people say that at this point in the month they usually don't give out any more dates. I was going to wait until the 5th to call again, unless I hear from the via-emal first, in which case I'll totally post the date right away!

Case complete isn't P4. P4 is the interview date email.

Montreal should start booking interviews after labour day weekend in Sept.

Good luck Evan and please keep us posted on your progress. Hopefully someone will cancel and you'll get an earlier date.

Hey all, FYI the number you want to call for rescheduling in Montreal is 514.400.2591. You can also try through the visa info website: https://usvisa-info.com/

I was scheduled by the NVC for October 30th, 2013 and haven't had any luck getting an earlier date, but they recommend calling frequently and checking the website often. The great thing is that unlike the NVC, usually somebody answers right away, so you're not stuck on hold for a half hour. You'll need your passport number.

They will not have any of the information from the NVC regarding your original date, so don't be alarmed if they don't have your original appointment date.

Good luck!

Hey!

I have no idea, I can only speak from my personal experience, but I would think that you must have a case complete and interview date assigned by the NVC before trying to reschedule an interview.

There's no calendar view on the website as far as I know. So far there haven't been any dates available, so the only thing I've seen come up is a message that says "No appointments available." Again, not sure what pops up if there is a date available.

According to what it says on the website and what I've gathered from talking to agents on the phone, if there's a date available, you can book it either through the website or the phone.

Montreal will need your package on file before they can do anything. You will need to have an interview already scheduled before they can help you change it in any way.
