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

Thank you for clarifying.  If you'd fill out your timeline, these questions wouldn't have had to have been asked.  

 

A number of people had interviews rescheduled for January due to President Carter's funeral.  I wouldn't doubt something got messed up in the shuffle. Hopefully your Congressperson's e-mail gets answered in due time.  Does your child have their own interview scheduled at all?

 

Thank you for mentioning the timeline thing. I tried to figure out how to create that timeline thingy on this website but seems a bit convulated for me at the moment and I just created an unofficial timeline on my signature for everyone else to see. Once time permits, I'll try to tackle on how to create an official timeline.

 

To answer your question about my stepchild's interview schedule: 

No, not reflected on the website at all even though I received an email from Montreal embassy stating that my stepchild's interview was merged/granted with my wife's original interview date of Jan 29 2025. The website shows my wife's original interview date. (I feel/could be wrong that there is some delay/disconnect with the Montreal embassy and the 3rd party that runs that registration website).

The second email from Montreal about my wife's new interview date but still doesn't display on that new date on the website. My child's interview date on that website is "non-existence" (displays System Busy all the time for my child).

 

 

Spouse/Wife (IR-1) - been married since 2020

Minor Stepchild (IR-2) - known the child since 2020

Both have their own case numbers

Applied around April 2023 (I-130s) - started this entire process

Uploaded docs to CEAC website around April 2024

Both were documentararily approved around August 2024

First interview date (Jan 29 25) scheduled for wife - notified around November 2024

Asked for NVC/Montreal to merge stepchild with wife's original interview date around November 2024

Emailed Congressman to help merge stepchild's interview date and successfully around December 2024

Montreal embassy cancelled/rescheduled a new interview date (Jan 14 2025) around Christmas week of December 2024

Emailed Montreal embassy to merge stepchild's old interview date (Jan 29) with wife;snew interview date around December 30 2024 - no response

Contacted Congressman (on Jan 9 2025) to help merge stepchild's old interview date with wife's new interview date (Jan 14) - successfully merged with spouse on 1/10/2025

Embassy interview for both spouse and child on Jan 14, 2025 @ 9:45 AM EST - upcoming.

For the timeline, next to your display name on this thread, it says "timeline" and click.  A second tab will open.  Number 2 likely applies.  Click on the link in the #2 instruction and create.  

 

It's bizarre that your child's interview hasn't been scheduled.  I had 2 minors linked and actually, I received notification for Kid2 before I received notification for mine and Kid1's interviews.  

 

Carter's funeral seems to have tossed some real wobblies into the scheduling.  Seems whomever looks after scheduling is ill equipped to manage change.  Let us know when you or your congressperson hear back from the Consulate.  I'm curious now about what is going on!

I received a phone call from my Congressman's office just now. They told us that our kid's interview was successful merged with my wife's new interview date. However, my congresman's office didn't have enough time to inquire about the error being displayed by the website.  As I'm typing this, I just received an email notification from Montreal stating my kid's date (merged with my wife) !!!

 

Fingers crossed, the only original document that we don't have is my divorce decree. My ex-wife filed for divoce in 2014 and she kept the original (signed by the judge, etc.). My ex-wife scanned it for me to show me that it was finalized. Let's hope I don't have to go all the way down to Georgia to ask for a certified copy.

Would she courier it to you, even just temporarily, so the original is on hand?  They are usually pretty sticky about originals, annoyingly.

I was mistaken in thinking that my ex-wife had the original, but I re-read her email from 2014 (from her lawyer). The original decree is kept with the court. We both only received stamped copies. Certified copies must be requested in person from the courthouse. So, this entire time, I kept thinking that my ex-wife had the original divorce decree.
