August 2014 Interviews

[Lakehouse 293]

Every consulate is different. I know the Montreal consulate is still scheduling August Interviews; I'm forecasting we will get an interview on August 19th. I went to the Canadian Portal and looked at several timelines there and found out that most interviews occur approx. 36-38 business days after CC date. But this number will of course be different at every consulate.

dwheels spreadsheet has shown recent Canadian interviews at ~50 days post CC.

There are usually big groups of scheduling completed every 2 weeks (13 days) or so. The last 3 were May 29-30, June 11, and June 24-25.

Based on that, I'd expect the next group to be next week, July 7-8.

I could be wrong, but they've been amazingly consistent this year.

i hope you're right!

I like your logic, and hope you're right!!

Hey Guys! I've just spent over an hour catching up on this thread!

Congrats Lucybelle , Sukie, Snipe, Infineeded, Lifeonhold, Bos and all others who have gotten CC's, interview dates, visa approvals or have finally been reunited with their loved ones!!!

Reading all the posts was so exciting!!!!!

I haven't posted since hubby has arrived. It's been 2 weeks now and I still wake up and see him there next to me and think I'm dreaming!

My heart has been so overwhelmed with love and joy I can't even describe in words all the feelings and emotions that are going on. We have been so happy together. It's even better than either one of us had imagined it would be.

We spent our very first holiday together! We went to our city's celebration last night. It was so funny because as soon as we got to the stage where they had the entertainment , the band sang Etta James "At Last" and that's our song!!! We were the only fools slow dancing in the blazing Florida sun! But we didn't care!!! We watched fireworks for the first time together and for lunch we had the all American burgers and dogs in the grill! It was the best day!! I feel more content , happy and loved than I ever have in my whole life!

I can say to everyone still waiting that after 14 months of pure misery, the reward is MORE than worth it! And I would do it all over again if i had to. Love surely does conquer all!

And it all makes you appreciate all things no matter how small. So hang in there! Everyone's time is coming soon. And I wish everyone the kind of happiness that we have now!!

Good luck and I miss you guys!

Nope didn't expedite. Case complete for me was June 2nd. Which is kinda similar to your July 1st. So i'm guessing probably middle of August for you. Pretty awesome none the less and I wish you tons of luck.

Great , that is why I asked if you got an expedite. I hope I am lucky and I get an interview mid August. Another question how long it took to get an email CC and interview day?

Thank you and please let us know what they ask, I want to be prepared.

i hope you're right!

I like your logic, and hope you're right!!

I hope so too!

And in case anyone else likes statistics, thanks to dwheels for providing such a robust data set... and we can get a little more insight on how interviews have been scheduled this year:

• Mean days after CC to receive interview appointment = 12
• 50% (median) of interviews were scheduled within 9 days
• 85% of interviews were scheduled within 20 days

Based on that alone, looks like your 7 & 8th prediction is right on the money!! *fingers crossed*

You so rock. I am still adding data (slowly) its hard loading the old way it was done into a document to add to new spreadsheet but I'm getting there.

But this is awesome thanks for showing folks stuff.
