Anyone has their Jan 29 2025 interview in Montreal rescheduled by the consulate due to unforseen reasons?

[siamnet74 1]

My wife (applicant) just received an email today stating the following:

 

 

On the ais.usvisa-info.com website, it still shows my wife scheduled for 1/29/2025.

My stepkid doesn't even show up on the website since the consulate "added" her and let us know via email (I request that my congressman's office asked that my stepkid gets merged on the same day as my wife's). I guess we're bringing the kid with us regardless if we still haven't recieved a notification that the kid's interview date was also moved.

 

Her new interview date is Jan 14. Good thing that I purchased flight tickets that had a no change fee (still economy) with Air Canada since I felt that I should do that just in case eventhough it was more expensive that regular economy basic.

1/29 is National Day of Remembrance for the attack on mosque in Quebec

so, they have moved your interview date up / this is good news

 

and why purchase tickets without the visa in hand?

Pretty sure the tickets the OP refers to are to get to the interview…

Purchased flight for the interview from Toronto to Montreal. 

Thank you for letting me know about National Day of Rememberance since I was not aware of that event.

That is correct...interview flight from Toronto to Montreal. I didn't want to drive 6 hours in the middle of winter since my wife lives in the Kitchener/Waterloo area.

Jan 9 is per EO closed for all federal business - funeral of President Carter. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/12/30/executive-order-providing-for-the-closing-of-executive-departments-and-agencies-of-the-federal-government-on-january-9-2025/

Thank you for your kind words.

And thank you for the explanation about Jan 9 - former President Carter's state funeral.

Random question - in this email - Did the email say "Dear Last Name First Name" backwards? I got a different email from the same address but wasn't sure if it's a scam...
