Yeah, it was just pure speculation my part that they have only a certain number of slots for CR-1/IR-1 each month which includes DCF. It is possible that most of the slots this past year were filled up with DCFs who got caught up with the Adam Walsh stuff. Just a theory though and someone (was it thermophile?) asked Montreal but they didn't give much of an answer.

However, I noticed there is a recent DCF person who got their interview date really fast so hopefully that means that they will have slots open for the NVC and for all of you.

*crossing my fingers for you all*

wasn't me. I wanted to ask those types of questions while I was there but the hubby kept giving me the "for ###### sake shut up" look. he was afraid he'd get denied because he married a malcontent American

met summer 1999, summer 2000 hooked up-whoo hoo summer fling

summer fling failed to fizzle, married 2003

I-130 mailed 12/15/03

4/1/04 no word from NE contacted senators office, app found

NOA1 4/13/04

Gave up on ridiculously long US process-started Canadian

12/4/04 submitted app

LSS app returned because of missed signatures, lost in transit, resubmitted in June

9/28/05 landed, yippie

10/4/05 fly back to US to "finish up Master's" lose mind and switch to PhD

Damn it back to the US process

We have filed the I-130, we should have the receipt back in a few weeks. We are in the Vancouver consular region. If we are looking for the quickest route, would it be quicker to pursue the K3 knowing it will end up in Vancouver, or to continue with the IR1 route through Montreal. We have been married 27 years, need to immigrate as quickly as possible as my wife's parents are aging and needing help. Opinions anyone???

K3 through Vancouver will get you there faster. No doubt about it.

He filed DCF though so if it goes the same as the most recent DCF people (I looked at the timelines), DCF will be faster than K3.

He didn't say DCF, I thought he meant IR1 through NVC. Which is definitely longer than a K3.

I saw that in the other thread though, but you already nabbed it :)

He filed DCF though so if it goes the same as the most recent DCF people (I looked at the timelines), DCF will be faster than K3.
