@Gôdnew131From what I have seen in 2019, it is taking around 7 months after being Documentary Qualified and your Priority Date is current.

Hi @Matt2019

Yes, but I mentioned being both DQ and PD current. From what I have seen and read, if your PD is not current, the consulate does not do anything. Your PD became current after being DQ'ed right?

It is a long wait anyway...

Yes my PD was current and I have been waiting for 9 months to have an interview that coming up next week. It was very discouraged and stressful waiting.

Are we 100% convinced category affects the delay?  Meaning is there different queues for EB vs IR/CR vs K. visas.  There certainly is not a lot of data on EB compared to IR/CR to see trends and we all know that there are many aspects of our journey that are complete mysteries

There is absolutely very less information available for F2A interviews happening at Montreal. Please keep sharing your experiences. According to NVC protocol they schedule interview if “PD IS CURRENT & APPLICATION IS DQ” Within 30 to 90 Days. If consulate is busy like Mumbai we can see information rolling on internet but Thts not the case.

There is a reason why I made this forum exclusively for family based visa - F2A to be specific. I was following the IR1/CR1 visa before and they have been getting IL/ID months ahead than F2A. IR/CR visa have shorter waiting times that F visas.

 

There is a very limited info and forums made for F2A category in Montreal. That is why it is important for me to know if we are all on the same track.
