Montreal embassy EB-2 interview wait time

[topman 42]

Does anyone know what's going on with this month's EB interview letters for MTL? In the past, my understanding was that interview letters were sent at the same time as IR/CR cases but there was an exception last month when EB interview letters got sent on the last day of the month. Is this the new norm now? Does anyone know if other consulates around the world are sending interview letters separately for EB cases?

 

Just trying to understand if this month is a wash for the EB interviews or can we still expect letters on the last day of the month?

It's kind of out of your topic...

 

My two cents. If you observe MTL-K1 NOA2 & Interview Dates - Google Sheets and visajourney.com Montreal IR-1/CR-1 Visa Data (do not request access) - Google Sheets, you will find out there are no interviews filled between Apr. 12 and Apr. 30. Hopefully, they will fill these spots with FB & EB cases.

Hope you're right! I am getting pretty anxious about my IL and things that need to be done as well

Just looking at spread sheet and you were above me and you do not seem to be on spreadsheet along with a number of others further down, do you know the reason?  

Hi Sorrel, I'm not sure why I was deleted. I'm also still waiting for my IL for March. Fingers crossed for this week maybe?

@vancitycdn8 Not sure why you got deleted. I have added you back. FYI, this excel sheet is open for all and anyone can edit it. So feel free to correct your info if it is not correct.

I keep checking with CEAC and it still says at NVC.  I thought once interview letters were on the way the status changes to IN TRANSIT.  Has your status changed?

If I remember correctly as per previous post, once you get interview date from NVC  status in ceac is updated.Did you get email already with the date?

Do we still have chance to receive more IL's for this month? I thought that typically they are sent together for a given category (EB in our case).

If there are no more IL's expected this month than last month was really a one-off as they progressed only ~3 weeks this month. This is really sad
