Hey Everyone!

Just thought I'd start the ball rolling for all those who will have May 2009 interviews in Montreal!

Those from other consulates feel free to post as well! I know every country has different wait times between NVC Completes & Interview Dates.

Good luck to all! We're almost there :)

Good question...why IS MTL so busy and yet USCIS takes absolutely forever to approve the I130/I129F's? :P

It's always good to be optimistic in this visa-life we've chosen to live....I found I got so frustrated and mad when I let it get to me. I can't wait until I can start counting down to my interview! I'll be calling next week like the operator told me to :)

I guess I will have to join this thread eventhough i will have interview in Bangkok, Thailand. It has been a long waiting for me.

Welcome to the waiting lounge :( The more the merrier! I hope we can all get out of here by next week and move on to the next stage of waiting.

Good luck everyone!

Hey guys,

Our case was completed at the NVC today (03.13) - we have obviously missed the bus for interview scheduling for April but trying to stay optimistic that we'll have something scheduled for May. Sounds like Montreal is a busy Consulate. Anways, good luck everyone and pls keep this thread posted as to the progress on your interview scheduling at Montreal.
