Any news about DCF filers waiting for Montreal interview?

[Darryl 0]

I'm guessing that was just a form letter pushed out to everyone who was pending just to let everyone know things were back on track and in Montreal. I'd assume everyone will be getting one within the next few days.

I have very good feelings about all this - now that the petitions are back in Montreal I would imagine Montreal will be jumping on them and wanting to get the interviews scheduled and get these petitions off their plate. This was not easy I'm sure for Montreal who was obviously stuck in the middle and was getting pelted with questions and couldn't provide answers. So just to eliminate the hassel and fired-up applicants I'd imagine Montreal will be doing all they can to get this stuff resolved as quick as possible.

Wait and see. Good luck everyone

This was my response from Montreal today by e-mail

Yes, we have received our OK to continue processing all cases that were affected by this; your case is now awaiting scheduling, once done, we will send you an appointment letter.

Thank you

Sounds like everyone is done from Montreal

Well the waiting game continues....

I just got an email from the Consulate in Montreal - apparently our case is complete and waiting for an interview...which will be mailed to us in the next 4-12 Weeks.

4-12 weeks????????????

So frustrating. I really thought Montreal would be on top of these petitions coming back and pumping them out like crazy...Now we're looking at 3 months to find out when an interview is...another month or so before the actual interview date...another 5-6 months possibly???

It seems like with every drop of good news comes a bucket of bad news. up and down up and down....when will this all be over!!!!

oh well... wait...wait....wait....wait....wait....wait...wait....wait....wait....wait......

..wait...wait....wait....wait....wait........wait...wait....wait....wait....wait.

.......wait...wait....wait....wait....wait........wait...wait....wait....wait....

wait........wait...wait....wait....wait....wait........wait...wait....wait....wai

t....wait........wait...wait....wait....wait....wait........wait...wait....wait..

..wait....wait........wait...wait....wait....wait....wait....patiently.....

I hope it's closer to 4 than to 12....fingers crossed...nails bitten off.

For Mtl everything seems to be so slow!! Wasn't always the case, but appears thats the way now. At least your going forward now and not at a complete stand still.

Darryl,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, rain on your parade, (insert cliche here), but I received the letter that said it would take 4-12 weeks for an interview in early-October. Even if you don't include the lost Adam Walsh weeks it's been more than 12 weeks and still no interview date. I think Tracy has been waiting even longer. While of course it's harmless to cross your fingers, you might not want to make plans or have an imaginary timeline in your head, because we're at the mercy of a slow and finicky system. Maybe we can ask fellow Canadians how long ago they filed and make a timeline. But otherwise I think immigration just sucks.

Cheers,

Martha

Yes we have been waiting since the beginning of October for our interview. I was really hoping they would give us Adam Walsh people a quick interview it is 12 weeks to our interview it will be 9 months from the time of filing. Very depressing

Tracy - thanks for the update - although no real details were given - at least they acknowledged the situation and have sent the petitions to USCIS...thats definetly a good thing. Nice to hear that they aren't just sitting on them waiting for instructions!

Darryl

thanks for the update tracy.... that is more helpful than any information i have been able to get out of montreal over the phone. i guess our fates are in the hands of USCIS vermont which from what i've read on this forum is notoriously slow. i guess we'll just all have to sit back and wait.

cheers,

matt

well.... .from reading so far, i may have been waiting the longest who regularly check this forum. my petition was approved on aug. 11, 2006 and i sent the entire checklist and info to the montreal consulate in late september 2006. so i have been waiting for almost 6 months!!

reading the timelines of previous montreal filiers (prior to adam walsh), it averaged around 7 months or so from start of petition to visa in hand. since the adam walsh delay of nearly 8 weeks, i'm not expecting my interview anytime before june. but as soon as i find out, i'll of course inform the board!!

cheers,

matt

Has everyone received a letter saying they are clear? Just wondering because we have not I only have the e-mail I got back from Montreal saying we are clear but it makes me wonder when I didn't get a letter.

I emailed MTL last week - no response. Wonder when to email them again..... oh this waiting game!!!

Any ideas? Should I be bold enough to phone and face Ms. Nasty?????

Len and Bren,

Its up to you whether you call or not, really it's your right to inquire considering you've paid the fee...I call or email every few weeks just to stay in touch with whats going on...they don't generally make it a huge priority to let you know whats going on all the time so its not a bad idea to keep tabs on them.

If you do call, make sure you let us all know what you found out!

Ok called Montreal today. Glad to find out they mailed my letter for Adam Walsh clearing on the 9th but i still haven't gotten it.....

I also asked about my interview and they said we will have one by May. So a couple more months I suppose but at least it was an answer
