yes the best is call them and ask to change consulate, you can ask how long it takes. Since you do not have a job in Canada and you have citizenship in UK then it makes sense to do in UK, but ask them about the process

I will,   I agree,  Im going to call and do the email tmrw/ Monday , get my passport and birth certificate into PDF again first to send them. Feeling relieved tbh!

It's not that I have been avoiding VJ, but I have been feeling so bad that IL's have not been forthcoming since May, and I understand how hard it is just hoping everyday that they will arrive.  I also

Didn't have to call! IL arrived at 3:36 am, interview June 29th, at 7:30.  Hope there are many more to follow!

I think, IR/CR wait times will be reduced to a matter of hours, kinda like a drive thru... EB applicants, however, will continue telling tales of patience and how their journey was to Mordor... s

 May I ask, has anybody had any success with expediting their interview?  Originally from the UK currently a permanent resident in Canada.  I am going to be having my interview at the Montreal consulate and I am worried that I will not get my interview/GC in time for my daughter starting school in September in the USA. Do you think I have a chance of requesting expediting of my appointment date for this reason? I should imagine not; as everybody would be doing this I suppose, but I thought I’d ask

 

 Any advice and information will be appreciated thanks!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it is highly unlikely you would get an expedite request approved on that basis.  I tried 2x - once for financial reasons and another due to medical, including a personal letter from my doctor.  Both were denied.  While they do respond to the requests quickly, Montreal is very very particular about expedite requests and does not approve them all that often.

Hi all, 

 

For those that have completed their interview this month- do you have any helpful tips or feedback? Also, how long did it take to get your passport back? Please let us know. 

 

Thank you!

The interview process is quite simple actually.  You will have all your documents verified first, before having your actual interview with the consulate officer.  Questions are very basic and simple - who will you work for? What is your degree in? Where will you live?.  The process itself including all the waiting at the consulate took me about 2 hours total.

 

As for receiving your passport back, I stayed in Montreal for a week and chose to pick it up locally at the post office.  I had my interview on a Friday and was able to pick up my passport at the post office the following Friday around lunch time.

 Yeah I thought as much it’s a shame. But anyway I am going to get my interview hopefully changed to the UK embassy as that is where I was born. My Case is not complete yet so hopefully they will honour it

Guys, can I even get my case transferred to the uk where I was born even if I haven't lived there for four years??

I believe so, as long as you have proof establishing your eligibility to be processed in the UK. Proof such as UK passport or permanent residency card should be accepted. This is the info I was given by the NVC regarding processing my case in Canada (i.e. I was asked to submit a scan of my Canadian PR card or passport to establish eligibility).

It's probably a good idea to consult your immigration lawyer as well. Good luck!
