it could take up to 6 months??? when i called the NVC they said it might be in dec or jan... I had everything complete but they were waiting for the orginal documents of the marriage and birth certificate. What do you think the chances are that I would get an interview before the end of the year or in Jan. And is there any way to speed the process?

Also when i called last night they told me they were not finished secudleing for DEC. Not sure why some people get some answers and other people get another.

As for the answers about whether the scheduling is finished or not, seems to happen every month - everyone getting different answers.

I can't really answer the December or January comment that NVC made, from looking at our timeline to interview table here you can see that just is not true - maybe it is their standard answer - most consulates interview wait is much shorter.

Just a guess.

i hope it will be quick... but how many people that are waiting for a interview that are here on VJ, i dont think this gives a very accurate

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

I was wondering how long you been wating, and if you or your husband/wife see each other. I was able to get my wife into the states with a B2 visa last October for 1 month but than she had to go back beacuse of the end of her b2 visa, and than she tired to come in again and the people at the border were total morans......

We submitted our I-130 in March of this year, it still hasn't cleared NVC, should be any day now, once they get around to it. We both live in Canada.

Why did she have to get a visa, is she originally from another country? When did you submit your I-130?

There are several threads here in the Canada forum about crossing the border (using the visa waiver program though)while waiting for the visa application to process, lots of good ideas about what they look for etc :thumbs:

There was a short period of time early in 2007 - late January to March 21st when DCF was suspended at all consulates. This was due to the passing of the Adam Walsh act - consulates decided they were not prepared to handle the additional work this entailed.

We filed on March 13th, completely unaware that there was any chance they would reverse this new 'no DCF' policy - let alone reverse it 8 days later.

THEY didnt let her in under the visa waiver program, so the lady at the border issued her a B2.......

She is a canadian citzen.

They are a**holes, the last time she tired to cross the guy at the border told her he had to wait 2 years to see his faiance/wife and told her she woudl have to do the same.

He even called my bussiness to verify my bussiness and ask me a couple of questions.

and on top of that they didnt let her in... just to viist and we told them that the process in montreal is alsmot done and if she wanted to stay here she would have on her last visit, but our intent is to finish the i-30 process in canada.

REAL A**HOLES , pardmon my lanague if anyone gets offedned.

I agree with you, they banned my Canadian Citizen husband for the same thing...now we have to have a 212 on top of normal processing, just for attempting to visit.

I agree with you, they banned my Canadian Citizen husband for the same thing...now we have to have a 212 on top of normal processing, just for attempting to visit.

Hi sroberts,

None of the timelines in this thread are DCF, they are all people going through NVC. I'm sure there must be others doing DCF though.

Since you are now just waiting for your interview, you can probably get a good idea though, from this list, how long it will take before your interview date.
