Montreal embassy EB-2 interview wait time

[BurBur 5]

Hello June interviews, would you please share some of your experiences? How did it go, what were the questions, lesson learned, how soon did you receive your PP back, etc. Appreciate it!

[LoveCalifornia 3]

Yes guys please share your experiences from June interviews. Especially if anyone was in EB-2 NIW category I appreciate it.

I think there is a reason. EB-2 category is becoming full. Which means if the embassy does not interview the applicants by end of July or August the PD might retrogress for months (at least the month of September). CR1/IR1 do not have a PD date and can get a GC anytime. So priority for the next two months will be on Employment Based (EB) categories.

This is a question to the folks who went to the interview already. I plan to have a bag to put my documents in it and my cell phone. Is that okay? can I take in my bag and my cell phone?

No big bags. Cellphone will be taken at security and then you can get it after interview.  This is according to the reviews written by applicants for Montreal embassy.

Thanks Kartinee. One more question. According to the DOS website we must register for a courier service as step 2 of interview preparation. I don't know what that is exactly and what I should do. I appreciate your help.

Hi! I do not know about that yet. I am not yet on that stage 😬

let’s wait for replies from others. Maybe @Ontarkie? Thank you

You will have the instructions when you get the conformation email.

 

You have to register to courier website for you and other applicants on your application.

Once done, Print the confirmation and bring it along for the interview.

 

I think this will also act like a confirmation of the interview date from you.

 

Below are the step you need to do  after you get the confirmation email.
