Hello here is our story. We submitted 129F in end of May 2024 USCIS approved it in early September, but case did not actually get sent to NVC till late Nov of 2024 with out any explanation, even though we sent multiple inquiries to follow up. The NVC stage seemed rather smooth, but than again the Montreal embassy people are saying for Canadians its literally 6 months to get an interview and its really confusing to me. I see people in Canada that applied same month as me and had their interview already a month ago. If your Embassy experience is from Canada please share your story. It does not make sense why some peoples cases would literally take twice as long. Any idea why would take Montreal 6 months to give an appointment ?

Approved Sep 15th, got letter that we send your case to NVC for processing send 2 inquiry to NVC and we have not got your case and USCIS seems to not have sent it at all is this common? how long did yours take ? or been taking ?

Well the USCIS letter says we have sent your case to department of state but when I contact NVC they say we haven not gotten them after 50 days. I did some research online some people were saying they only send cases once every two weeks, and some were saying that when NVC is overwhelmed they ask NCIS to hold cases. what I think is they have so many cases on one side or the other its creating a bottle neck.

I am looking for people that were approved in 2024 or any one that has insight, the case was approved by USCIS in mid September and now it has been around 40 days and still have not got a case number or an email from them and have contacted them and they said they have not gotten anything is that normal? what has your experience been from time USCIS approved your I-129F till you get contacted by the NVC
