Case Complete to Interview July 2017

[Ahmed & Amy 291]

Ahmed and I are in the process of packing.... we want to take our samsung computer monitor as we have the box and could pack it easily in the luggage. Is it  okay to travel with it into the US (will their be issues with customs) or should we just leave it with a relative?

We don't mind leaving it behind, but it's fairly new and of course we would like to have it if we can. Any thoughts?

I don't suspect there will be any issues.....may just want to ensure it doesn't appear to be brand new

Plane ticket purchased and almost packed.  Leaving tomorrow night for a 22 hour trip and an interview on Friday.  You will all have your interviews soon.  These forums have helped with the wait which at times have been frustrating.   Good luck to all.

Anyone in Canada waiting for a Montreal interview date? CC date June 13th

 

Or anyone who recently got a date can give an idea of how long the wait is? Thx!

Sure thing, have an example on our spreadsheet.  It's just on a different tab.

No more than 2 weeks, you should expect an interview date around Aug 20th.. My personal details; CC May 19 th, interview date July 6th. I called in and got the interview date 4 days after CC. Montreal is having problems with the interview scheduling, so they may give you a date then canceled it don't worry, but I don't think your wait will be much longer.

Thanks! Why do you say Aug 20th out of interest? Looks like your CC to interview is 7 weeks. Why do you think mine will be closer to 10 weeks?

A neck pillow and eye mask does wonders for those long haul flights.

From our NVC Case Status Spread Sheet -  2017 .. Looks like Canada receives their interview dates in the middle of each month. Most recent ones were scheduled on June 13/14.. Have you called the NVC or are you waiting for the notification email?

I booked my ticket soon as I received P4 letter in email. I booked for June 20 for June 13 interview. For me it all worked out well.

Which visa category? Where is your interview? Your CC date? Request you to please update the spreadsheet with all the details. The spreadsheet which @JBMG has kindly created for all of us.

 

Thanks guys. I booked my ticket as well. 10 days after interview should hopefully be sufficient to get the passport back.
