Kinda disapointing to see no names on the bottom of that list have any interview dates scheduled. No interviews scheduled in Montreal(Minus Cndwife) Lets hope those names get dates soon!

Hey everybody waiting I just checked when I got my interview date and it was this day last month. So be ready as I had less than 3 weeks to my interview! I hope all the June group get to finish this

Me neither . . . at this point I'm assuming that Montreal has fallen behind even further and I won't see a December appointment. How it can end up taking them 3 months to get through the June case co

So I thought, for interests sake, we would take a look back on the events of IR1/CR1 applicants from our little list.

The prize for longest wait between NVC completion and interview - andylans at 176 days! (5 months 23 days)

This did not, however, break the record of the 2007 interview wait of djc - of 228 days!

We had several denials at Montreal for proof of establishing domicile. This is a new phenomenon and one I hope will not carry on in to the new year.

This is a list of people currently waiting for interviews - gives kind of a better overview of how long some have been waiting:

Thanks so much, Trailmix. In addition to being meticulous and organized, you're also something of a mind-reader. I was literally JUST thinking of PMing you to see if you have a raw spreadsheet so that I could crunch the numbers this exact way. No joke!

Trailmix, I know you've been following the interviews in Montreal for a while now... do you remember when they start requesting for the taxes/W2 of the previous year? Right in January or later on? Just curious as it may be something my man will have to work on earlier than he thought. Merci :)

Ok, good :) I thought I read that the consulate were requesting documents before they were due to the IRS, but, if not... even better :) I really hope we'll have our interview before April :wacko:

Ok, good :) I thought I read that the consulate were requesting documents before they were due to the IRS, but, if not... even better :) I really hope we'll have our interview before April :wacko:

Yes, I have seen that occasionally myself - where they ask for them earlier if it is like a week from the April 15th cutoff.

Ravenesque, I would be happy to add you to the timeline! You don't have a timeline filled in though?

To add your timeline just click on the My Assistant link in the top left hand side of this page, from there click on Add / Edit my timeline, after you enter in your email address it will take you to the timeline page to enter the info.

That's the data that's used to track immigration timelines at VJ :)

Oh and I have signatures turned off - see the vent thread :lol:
