Montreal embassy EB-2 interview wait time

[F2J_March 49]

Lets hope they send out more IL tomorrow (last day of March). If not, it would be very sad to know just know just one person dq'd in March 2020 got IL for EB category(G drive group)

Hi all, I received my passport back yesterday via purolator.  Two days after interview.  I signed up for home courier delivery when I received my IL.

I am holding out hope as well for you!  It would be nice to see more than just a 3 weeks movement in EBs.

I have been checking every hour, and still nothing!  Do you think there are hundreds of other Canadians filing EB visas that were dqed between March 1st and Mach 11th, 2020, that are not on VJ?

I would have expected the opposite since that's when covid hit and everything was shut down. 

 

Very disappointed that no other IL's were sent

I don’t think so. They just slow down again. So disappointed.

That's really disappointing to hear. Now, I'm really curious to see MTL visa numbers for next month to check whether they really had lot of folks with DQ's in the month of March or they just reduced their capacity. The most frustrating part is that they are not transparent on the process for interview appointments. Is it based on the certain percentage of the total capacity for EB appointments, or is it a fixed number per month, or is still based on presidential executive order for tiered prioritization for immigrant visa (which got rescinded) or do they even have a standard operating procedure to schedule appointments.. its feels like they have no rhyme or reason to how they operate.  The lack of communication and transparency is so miserable for people like us, waiting in line for 2 years.
