That's extremely slow... especially when you consider Montreal is in green zone? They did way more than that in red zone 😂. I wonder what's actually happening, I don't think it's them booking other visa categories interviews either. They still haven't uploaded monthly stats... So strange.

Wait! They did post the stats for may! Here are the results...

 

CR1/IR1

May 2021: 177

Apr 2021: 304

Mar 2021: 316

 

So it is getting worse, the spreadsheet was a good representation of all the cases. I'm sure the number decreased even more for June/July. I noticed there were more visa categories for May, but it didn't make up for the almost half reduction.

Had a great experience with Dr. Zatzman, I wrote about it a few posts ago with a link to a review that will help you navigate the process there

I have similar question as well. Any recommendations on Dr.?

also what are they looking for in medical? Do previous surgeries count against you ?

Congrats!!! 
 

but interesting that they seemed to have stopped in the middle of august.

I hope more ILs come either today or Monday. It would be unfair if the embassy only cover 1 week worth of DQed people. They can’t use the pandemic as an excuse anymore. I remember earlier in this thread someone was saying that they are trying to keep the backlog across visa categories balanced which is insane. 
 

Congratulations to those who received an IL. This process has been painful and disheartening. Prayers for those who haven’t received an IL yet.

Does anyone know if I need to register my interview appointment online for the Montreal consulate?

Agreed! This is insane...

IT IS INSANE.

 

I have now come to terms that they're moving around 10'ish days each month:

 

JULY
Sept 9 - 21
13 days

 

AUG
Sept 22 - Oct 2
11 days

 

So I assume:

SEPT
Oct 3-13
11 days

 

 

OCT
Oct 14-24
11 days

 

 

Also, how far in advance are the K1's from us??? 

 

I would have never thought that I would get my IL 1 YEAR after I was DQ'ed - wow...Oct to Oct. Today, I have lost the last little bit of hope I had.

Heartfelt congratulations to everyone receiving their ILs today! Be joyful!

Our DQ was Dec. 1, so mustering up patience.

Does someone know what is the DS260 number ? Is this the confirmation number when I paid / submitted at the NVC back then ?

Yeah I lost all hope at this point it’s going to be 2 year for me from Dq at this rate. They are supposed to be stopping the backlog but they are causing it to grow more and more  I am happy to see every one get Dq today though

I feel you. I'm looking at our spreadsheet, and seeing the average days from DQ to IL is about 268...and realizing today it will like be 365 days for us, nearly 100 extra days compared to those who had their interviews last month!
