It may depend on which visa category you went through. From the posts here it sounds like the EB-2 takes longer to get an interview than spousal visas.

 

In February it took on average 52 days from case completed at NVC to the interview date. Most of these cases though were spousal or child visas. I missed the cut off for the interview so I had to wait until the following month until mine was booked. But the dates all wind up being mostly the same. Montreal generally only books appointments once a month. They open up slots to NVC and NVC then books people in. I called NVC relentlessly but they all said the same thing that it all depends on when they are given slots.

It is a real mystery.  I ended up waiting 109 days (I’m EB-2).  On this thread, you will see two others who waited even longer (both had cc 7 days before mine - may have been longer as that was date they recieved letter).  Interestingly, someone else on this thread had their case completed 6 weeks after me (similar cc date to you) and they were assigned an interview the same time as me.  In less than a week NVC will start handing out the next batch of interviews so hopefully you’ll get one this cycle!

I am calling them every Single day. They keep repeating same words " no interview spot available at Montreal consulate "

I know 2 other persons in same situation.

I don't know why they are doing this to us.

So depression, can't reunite with family.
