Hard to believe, but apparently true

[knowledge 0]

I just got off the phone with a supervisor at NVC - she told me that all our paperwork has been reviewed, it's all in order and now we just wait for the file to be transferred to whatever department sets up the interviews.

I actually had to ask - 'so the case is complete' - she said 'yes' - but then said the stuff about transferring it to the department where they schedule the interviews and that they never give them as many interview slots as they need (which I already know of course because Montreal generally takes 4-6 months to get an interview).

Anyway, I'm rambling, I'm just finding it hard to believe I guess

Awsome! Congratulations!

Hey, how long has your case been in the review process? They are doing this to my file too. First they said it was complete and than when my wife called to see if they sent it to the embassy they said it was under review... I don't know what to expect when she will call again tomorrow!

Thanks for the congrats everyone and good luck to all of you waiting!

Endless, I posted in your other topic the other day outlining the review process we went through here

Basically with ours it was just a matter of the supervisor moving it along as it appeared to be stuck and hadn't been sent for a final review yet, so a bit different than yours, however as you will see it took between 10-17 days (depends on who you speak to )

Basically:

Nov 13th - Spoke with NVC operator, asked for the file to be escalated as all the documents has been in place since October 9th.

Called every other day - no change, confirmed it had been escalated - told by the operator that someone was 'looking at it'

Nov 21st - Told by operator that it has been sent for final review on Nov 19th

Nov 26th - Called and spoke with a supervisor, she said it had actually made it to the department that does the final review on Nov 26th at 1:00 p.m..

Nov 29th - Called the same supervisor - she followed up and when I spoke to her on Friday the 30th she told me the review was complete and it would now be sent for interview scheduling.

So 16 days from escalation to case complete, but I think really 3 days in 'review'.

Just a hint, I hope you got the supervisors name as I think it is kind of helpful if you speak with the same person, in my opinion.

Hope this helps!

That's impressive...How you could you make it to speak with an operator each time!!!....How did you do it???

I reached an operator every time I needed to. (I've probably spoken to 20!). I would redial and redial until I got through. I've called at all different times of the day, generally not at night.

I would say I have never had to redial more than 6-7 times before getting through.

Hey, thanks for your reply... I've been gone for a couple of days

Well, friday Dec 7, my wife called and they said that the case had been finally completed on Dec 5th. I hope this time they will not change their minds again...

Well, they also said to call by the second week of december (this week) to see if the interview has been scheduled for dec ( I doubt it will be). Does anyone know on which day exactly they decide the interview date?

Man, I'm so depressed lately, it looks like we are not gonna spend Christmas together and not even our 1st anniversary... our kid is getting so big and I'm missing out so much... I really hope the end is close 'cause I'm going nuts!

Hi endless,

Great to hear your case is complete (again!). Generally they schedule the interviews this week (2nd week of the month) for NVC appointment processing posts.

A couple of people in the Canada forum called this morning and they have been scheduled, I called, nothing for us yet. Anyway it depends how patient you are, you can call every day to check

That said, I have also seen them schedule after the 2nd week. Have also heard people say they called and were told scheduling was complete for the month, then they call back the following week and have an interview date.

I'm really sorry that you are probably going to miss xmas/New Years/anniversary with your family this year, but I think the worst has to be being away from your child!!

I hope you will focus on the end result here, you are so close now to the interview and soon this will all just be a bad memory and you and your family will have years and years and yearssss of happy times together.
