Oh OK, well that certainly simplifies things - if choosing isn't really valid anyway. Thanks for sharing those links @Chancy. I know there are heaps of resources on this site with people's past experiences. But yes @Wuozopo, ultimately we just need to get things submitted as soon as possible and then stop worrying about it. Thanks for all your input everyone!

Thanks very much for your input everyone. @Coco8 I had also seen that Montreal is typically one of the slower consulates - so doing it in London would be a safe approach. @pushbrk very interesting to hear however that Montreal's backlog might currently be cleared, can I ask where you are hearing that from? Obviously it can still change like you say. Plus, very reassuring to hear that it is perfectly feasible to change to London if required. With that in mind, I think we will stick with Montreal for our application for the moment, if the worst comes to the worst we can change later. Thanks again!

Hi all, I am a UK citizen living in Canada (Vancouver), 1.5 months into a 2 year work permit. My wife is a US citizen (living in the US), she is my petitioner for my IR-1/CR-1 Spouse Visa. We have been compiling all our documents and are planning to submit our I-130 online soon. I'm looking for any advice/warnings/requirements that anyone has regarding my interview being done in Montreal as a third country national. Is this likely to be a problem? With our supporting documents I thought we should submit my Canadian Work Permit as proof of status in Canada. In the worrying event that the whole process could take longer than 2 years, beyond the duration of my work permit, what is the feasibility of changing the Consulate (to my home country of the UK) if needs be? Many thanks in advance!
