I dont think so. Scheduling is done at consulates not NVC. If your PD is let’s say 01/2022, DQed 7/2023, you will be scheduled first than guys with PD 3/2022 DQed 4/2022. So that’s why PD is the most important one. But as Froozion said Montreal is so backlogged , many with current PD still have to wait for months.
