Canadians Awaiting NVC Case Numbers

[K1visaHopeful 2,871]

@kenikki,

I have peeped at your timeline and noticed your interview date was all the way in June. 

 

When did you get the okay to book your interview?

And was your June date the earliest that was available or did you choose it for other reasons?

 

If you could elaborate on your case that would be great!

@K1visaHopeful Uggg... won't let me go back to edit... Let's try this again:
 

I was able to schedule as of April 26. The earliest dates that were available to me were May 23 (Wednesday) and May 25 (Friday). As I knew I would be returning from a trip on May 13, I didn't take either of those dates as I wanted time to prepare. The next available date was June 6 (Wednesday), which is what I booked.

 

I am not 100% sure, but I think they only provide you with dates starting one month out from when you are able to schedule (might have something to do with making sure that you have adequate time to finalize travels plans if required). If that is incorrect, please feel free to correct me. In my case, the available dates started roughly one month out. I checked again today and it isn't showing me any available interview dates.

 

Could you elaborate on your comment of "...all the way in June?" Have you seen other cases where interviews were scheduled immediately? I feel like even though it's slightly over a month out from when scheduled, there is still so much left for me to get done before then.

There are only specific dates available.  Not every day will be open and I believe starting in June, people were reporting that Montreal again was switching to K1 interviews on Wednesdays only.

No I just didn't realize there would be a month wait at MTL.

I've heard alot of other embassies have a quick turnaround time (aka once your status is ready and you've completed packet 3, interviews are available within days/a few weeks).

Guess that isn't the deal with MTL but that was exactly what I was asking.

...if it was a month's wait to schedule or if you had a reason for scheduling "allll the way in June".

We keep trying to book for my interview since we received our P4 but its always show up NO AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT. That's normal for right now. Nothing is open. Just keep checking.

It's worried us because our NOA2 approval will expired in july 5th.

You can renew for up to a year. I'm not sure of the exact procedure but I'm almost positive it tells you how on the back of your NOA2.

My first response didn't post.
