Waiting time for nvc to schedule an Interview.

[Sebu1408 0]

I’m a US citizen and the petitioner for my foreign husband. He is a Romanian citizen and he is currently living in Toronto Canada. We been waiting for a Visa for over a year now and we haven’t hear when he will be having an interview at the Montreal consulate. The waiting has been long and more now that we have a child together. He doesn’t even know her baby girl yet. And I’m waiting alone with my baby in the US. Due the pandemic borders have been closed and to me as US citizen in impossible to visit Canada Bc it’s only essential traveling and of course he can’t come to the states Bc he has no visa. Our priority date is January 2020 . Does anyone of you have any idea how to read the bulletin visa for us to have an idea when he will be getting an interview??? Or does anyone of you know if the Montreal office is still scheduling interviews for spousal visas ?? Or they have stop the processing of non emergency visas due the pandemic ? Help!

You are not subject to the visa bulletin so don't bother reading them. 

 

Your best option is to go to the Canadian regional forum for active discussion regarding Montreal

The visa bulletin is not applicable for your case as spouses of US citizens have immediate visa availability. If your case has been "DQ'd" by NVC, then you are in the queue for an interview. This the process for spousal interviews:

 

1. Case is DQ'd by NVC.

2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC.

3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month.

4. NVC schedules interview when case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate.

5. NVC notifies person of interview date via email.

6. NVC then sends case to consulate.

After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.
