So in another thread, this is what someone posted when I suggested that Montreal is taking long to schedule CR1 appointments because they are clearing family preference and employment categories.
“Official policy of the US State Department is that CR1/IR1 visas are to be prioritized (tier 1), and directs embassies to not do what you describe. If the Montreal Embassy is doing that, they are violating official US government policy.
I would advise the original poster to reach out to their congressman (US senator or house rep), and have them inquire about the case. A bunch of us did that at the Seoul Embassy, when they suddenly decided to stop scheduling CR1/IR1 interviews. After they were contacted by several congressmen, they started rapidly scheduling CR1/IR1 interviews again. But getting your congressmen involved may be the best hope to force the embassy officials and/or NVC to behave in accountable manner.”
If anyone reaches out to their senator, here’s screenshots that you can use as proof that they’ve been processing family preferences and employment category faster than immediate relatives.
