Strange behavior for auto-replies.

It was an hour later but got one from Ottawa, NIV.

So that is all 4 received.

Almost 2 hours later got the remaining 3 auto replies.

Montreal graph

@Perseus Thank you for the graph. Looks like they were doing equal amount of (T1/T2 and T3/T4) before the pandemic. Hope that they start that again since IR/CR inventory has dwindled down. Also, USCIS has increased the processing time for K1 visas to 12 months now, which will further reduce their incoming inventory to Montreal. This will benefit EB and F visas. 

 

Also would you mind adding your DQ date on this tracker? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14yZKxht6igwJPXPU0EehKmmN2hx1g3EchEuB5G0yNO4/edit#gid=0

Yes, done

Hi all, great effort to ping the consulate about the backlog. 

 

I am very much at the end of the queue, but as soon as I receive confirmation from NVC on documents verification completion, I will e-mail the consulate as well!

Another auto-generated form letter from NVC...if you do not hear from us in 60 days .... we will send you another letter!

Along with another two week wait to see how many IL's will be sent for EB's.

Yeah just got the same one. The challenge for this month is we don’t have any Dec 2019 DQ’s on our tracker so we might not even hear about letters being sent in a couple of weeks, unless they power through Dec and a bit of Jan in the same batch (I hope they get 3-4 months in one go!)

Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to the interview today 😕 my daughter has to quarantine for 14 days after coming back from international travel and she isn't fully vaccinated. 

I got rescheduled for February 24th. Since I live in Calgary, what would be a better option for medical? (1) going to BC for med asap and then go to Montreal for the interview or (2) going to Montreal a week ahead to do the medical first and waiting for the interview?

Please, let me know your thoughts.

I would go to Vancouver, because it seems like the people who have been going tonMontreal are experiencing a delay in getting the medicals sent in time, plus there seems to a backlog for the lab results in Quebec.  Great you got rescheduled so quickly!

I am also in Calgary!  Our plan is to go to BC when we get our interview notice.  Unfortunately, I  don't have time to wait around in Montreal for a week or so...although a bit of a vacation would be so nice.  Looking at the IR/CR category, there have been some delays with the blood work, etc in Montreal...might want to investigate a bit further so there are no further delays.

We have 1 person in F2A group in december at this sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1phSTiwuIBzBBDGDSwBTgA6iwPt6vhWgd_JQWlHoj7vE/edit#gid=0

I will let you know if they receive the IL. More or less F and E visa is moving at the same time because they are both in Tier 3 prioritization.

But the Tiers were done away with a few months back, so we should all be on equal footing!
