Just wanted to say good luck to everyone!

after being stuck at VSC, Im now stuck again at Montreal.... their timeline after Packet 3 was 4 to 6 months when I sent mine in August so I knew I probaly wouldnt hear anything until Jan/Feb..well in the last 2 weeks they have been scheduling like crazy and July AND August filers got Nov nterview dates... very exciting!...well as of today our name is last on the list (for August) for an interview (will add all others were K-1, were K-3) I contacted Montreal yesterday and their response was it could be another 2 to 4 months! So here we sit having VSC flashbacks...LOL

heres a google spreadsheet that was started for us waiting for Montreal, if anyones interested...
