Hi

My Case case was completed and sent to Montreal on 15th June, I read that it takes max 4 months to get interview and was so hoping

to get my interview on Oct, that didn't happen. Anyways hoping to get some good luck for November.

Anyone here going thru the same situation ??

Yes. It took 144 days for us to get an interview date (completed June 4th, interview October 26th). You will almost certainly be November. But the waiting is endless . . .

Congrats steve, and thanks for your reply... hope i am lucky for november.

Received Email from NVC yday, atlast i got interview for Nov 12 "Thanks to God"

Now More help please My hubby is a US Citizen and I have my interview next month at montreal for CR1 Visa... can anyone tell me

what questions will be asked ????

Thanks.

Thanks all for your kind response & help.

Hey - any of your I-130 filers get in on the new NVC electronic processing stuff ??? Montreal was recently added (September or August, maybe ). Guangzhou was added in May of this year - I've been watching things FLY..

Montreal was added back in about June.

I'm confused... I was under the impression that interviews were scheduled in the second week of each month for the following month. How is it that you are getting interviews for November?

That's not true and has never been true really. They schedule whenever they like. We heard about my Husband's interview on the 20th of the month, many here hear later, many earlier.

NVC operators state it, I guess it's their - get you off the phone - line?

Plus, it's not necessarily for the following month, it can be for a date 2 months later.

Congratulations! It's like they're doing a clearing out of old files, finally! That's great, you guys. I am scared of calling -- I got all excited a couple of days ago and called a couple of times but I'm a dumb-dumb! We only finished in mid August so... I won't call again as it's slightly depressing...

BUT, I am extremely happy that all of you waiting have received your interview dates -- finally now we just need to get Eklandon on that interview list and we're looking good for the CR1 June/July crew, right?

COngrats, all...

my fingers are so crossed for you. I felt the same way about calling I thought for sure they would say not yet. When I called the lady was really nice asked for a case # put me on hold for a couple of minutes then came back and asked for my husbands name then said "your interview is nov. 18 at 9:00 am." I am so praying for you!
