Montreal Wait times.... where to look?

[Laura0588 0]

Hi, I have been trying to find somewhere to check Montreal's interview wait times (similar to how we check CSC's wait times). The best I have found is on the Department of State website :

**************

Typical Wait Time (Calendar Days*) for a Nonimmigrant Visa Interview Appointment

Visitors Visas: 42 Days

Student/Exchange Visitors Visas *** (Excludes: A, G, K, and V): 2 Days

All Other Nonimmigrant Visas: 42 Days

Typical Wait Time (Workdays**) for a Nonimmigrant Visa To Be Processed****: 2 Days

*Calendar days refer to every day of the week, including days when embassies are closed (such as weekends and holidays).

**Work days refer only to days when the embassy is open and does not include weekends and holidays.

*** The All Other Nonimmigrant Visa wait time DOES NOT include K or V visa applications, which are processed similar to immigrant visas. A and G applications are excluded from these wait times, as they are processed separately.

****IMPORTANT NOTE: Processing wait time DOES NOT include the time required for additional special clearance or administrative processing. These procedures require additional time. Most special clearances are resolved within 30 days of application. When additional administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on individual circumstances of each case. Processing wait time also does not include the time required to return the passport to applicants, by either courier services or the local mail system.

OK.... so if my "K" visa is NOT in the "All other nonimmigrant visa" category... where do I fall on this list? Or am I dreaming, are we not on here???

Thanks!

You're not dreaming. K1's aren't on that list. The reason? It's a list for Nonimmigrant Visas and, while K1 Visas are technically non-immigrant, Montreal doesn't treat them that way.

Basically there is no where on Montreal's site to track the wait times for interview dates. Your best resource is this forum... check out this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=39547 where several memebers are keeping track of current Montreal interview date trends.
