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!

I always loose the link to the spreadsheet. can someone post it again?

Nooo way!! just saw the email IL - soooo happy!! August 23 interview (DQ Oct 5)  - Congrats to all that received the ILs today.  It was a long wait but I'm very grateful!!!!

I got the interview email today, for Aug 2nd! No response to my expedite request. I’m happy and relieved this period of uncertainty is drawing to a close. 
 

All the best to everyone.

If it keeps going this way, after December it will take at least 13 months 😬 so much for things getting better as pandemic restrictions ease, congratulations to Montreal for setting a new record!

Montreal neglected to admit their mistake with not scheduling your interview in July 😡

Any recommendation on hotels close to embassy?

I'm hopeful that more interviews will be scheduled for August since the interviews seemed to have stopped at August 16. K1 visa interviews have reached Nov/Dec and they committed to keeping those categories proportional. If I'm not mistaken, they've sent out ILs twice a month earlier.

That would be amazing and frankly, only fair...

There have been some scheduled later in August, it just hasn't been added to the spreadsheet yet. So I'm afraid we can't count on that. I do hope it happens anyways. Update, just checked the K1 interview list, they had a bunch on Aug 20th. The rest of those later dates may have been used for them

A few posts above you someone else got an August 23 interview date. Not to dash your hopes but I don't think it's likely at this point.

We also received our interview letter today - August 16th (DQ Oct 2nd) 🥳

Hey guys I would assume the time they gave on the interview letter 9 AM is EST time (Montreal)?

Exactly without giving answer for it. I may eventually get a response like we see that you have been scheduled an interview so the expedite request is resolved. The only silver lining is it was delayed long enough for the travel restrictions to have expired earlier in July. 
 

Busy with the next chapter.
