That's great. Thank you

You'd be best joining the other EB group than the IR1/CR1 group.  Your wait times will be different than a spousal visa

Hi guys.  I've been quiet on the forum but we were cc'd on June 24 (my son) and July 9 (me).  Are things in Montreal opening up at all?  In the spring we were hoping to move for the new school year, now I'd feel luck if we make it before the December holiday.

We were CCed on June 4th and we're still waiting for an interview in Montreal. Hoping to hear something next week, if not we will be contacting our local congressman from where my wife lived in the US to hopefully figure out what's going on in Montreal. It is a wait though, but it does look like they started processing some more family visas last month. Crazy how long it is taking just for the interview to be scheduled...

After months (and months) of lurking, the wait for a Montreal interview has finally driven me to actually sign up for VJ!  I am CC June 11, so I'm really really hoping for a November IL.    Can I please be added to the private message for us CR1/IR1 hopefuls?
