holly cow! 8 days notice (like 3 by the time the letter arrives) is a little scary. I'll have to call tommarow and check on ours, our packets arrived around the same time.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! That's un freekin believable!!!!! ... I'll be on the horn tomorrow most definitely just to check and see .. seems to me like they squeeezzed you in because of your congressional complaints ... hooo weee .. WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!

As stated before, the sqeaky wheel gets the ......................... lol . Congrats!!

Super congrats presgirl!!!!!! Seems to me that MTL is getting so much heck from both the congresspeople and the applicants that they are really pushing it. Just read on another post of someone who has advised TODAY that her interview is TOMORROW!!!!
As per moi, they told me today I am on list for june/july... let's see if they come through!!!!

Again great news!!!!

This is slightly making me nervous... people are receiving notice onlydays before the interview... It's like, if you dont call and check in, you'd never know your date! (except for the night before)

I remember seeing on here an updated version of our timelines, not the one that's on here from Riblet, but the one we had to click on to get to. Someone had redid them and I can't get the search to work.

Does anyone remember what thread it was in?

or even know what I'm talking about?

I did those Tinker a few weeks ago............the more I sorted through them the more I realized they weren't as accurate as they could be overall. Based on what I sorted out and the fact several people dont have timelines filled in completely , many were left out of the order.......so it wasn't accurately depicting the order of interviews. At least I didnt think so after looking closer.


at any rate , this was it

WOW, less than 4 months... !!! Nice to know less than 4 months is at least a possibility, even if it's only a slight one!

I got my NVC case number 5.1.07. Thanks!

thanks CutienPurg
psst you should update the days to interview
just kidding, that's alot of work. It is much easier to look at and figure out though!

Congrats!!

Here's the reply to an email I sent Montreal yesterday inquiring about an interview date.
I had stated in my inquiry I saw where people with similar timelines to me were getting interview dates and I was wondering whether I would been scheduled for an appointment soon also




"Unfortunately your appointment still has't been booked. There are many factors when booking an appointment and each case is different.

From the time the file is received and the packet sent. We will advise you by mail once your the appointment is scheduled"

Thank you

Oh i started to the other night.......my puter opted to get stupid on me and then I couldnt figure a way to sort all the timelines to accurately show order........some have "rcvd packet 3" some dont , some have "consulate rcvd" some dont.....then others have no timeline at all. Sooooo I got frustrated and said ta hell with it. I may get a funky bug in my bum and try it again before too long......but in the meantime........DO THOSE FRIGGIN TIMELINES PEOPLE . I noticed Misa has all her slots filled in atta girl

"From the time the file is received and the packet sent"... they take this into consideration, as well? Why is it that they told me that my fiancé is on the waiting list as of March 2nd, considering that they got the petition from the NVC in late November, if that's the case?

F*cking Montréal and its inconsistencies...

Guess I need to learn to shush,
CuteinPurg, everything looked good to me!......um.....yeah.


Allie, I wonder what the heck that means. "Unfortunately your appointment still has't been booked. There are many factors when booking an appointment and each case is different." Every K1 is different?

Or unless they mean that they base it on when they send out Packet 3 and when we return them... which seems to me that that is how they do it... *sigh*

I'd assume it would be from the time they received Packet 3 ......UGH, getting a headache

I just spoke with Montreal and they told me nothing booked yet .. they also told me that they send out a letter 2 to 4 weeks ahead of time and not to keep calling back .. to wait for the letter ... grrrrrrrrr

From what Jon said, he stayed on despite the "stay on only in emergency situations" and stated directly to the lady who answered that he had an interview for employment on Thursday and needed definitive information for that purpose. She checked the computer and said May 9, 8:30. I have a feeling that it may have been a cancellation and he got lucky (or the Congressional inquiry helped), but either way it is absolutely short notice. It also shows the flaws of the system. We asked about a cancellation list ages ago -- they said that people who are next in line get cancellations (via phone call) -- so if this IS a cancellation, were we next in line or are they just sick of us for calling our Congresswoman?

When I emailed my Congresswoman's Rep, she said that often the inquiry is what they need to get them moving, but then, why the negative reply to her office?

I just don't know.

I also feel very blessed that our interview is scheduled, but I feel horrible that so many December/January and beyond folks haven't heard a thing. I asked my Congresional Rep to keep inquiring about Montreal; I think we all should do that.

Thanks for the well-wishes!

I contacted my Congresswoman back in March and asked that her office look into the backlog in Montreal. I didn't request she check on our case specifically........I got no response from her. Needless to say I wont be joining her next campaign... and I will consider her the greater of 2 evils when I cast my vote. Yeah I know big deal eh!!

ok here are the numbers as of today.....if there are any boo boo's lemme know

CutienPurg, looked better with the 18 days on mine, lol
Looks good though!

thanks .. you're awesome!!!

I just got an email today stating the wait is at least 4-6 months once the checklist and forms have been received. Obviously, nothing new here... Just giving an update.

Thanks for the update. It's always good to hear what Montreal is doing They change so much one never knows what to hear from them

Well if a 4-6 month wait is the time of choice, then I guess Dan and I should be expecting a letter soon. End of May will be 6 months that we sent our packet 3 in *sigh*.

HEY EVERYONE

i need to apologize for not being on here sooner. My interview was scheduled for march 29, but i had to cancel it because my daughters case was so far behind. I didnt want to have to make 2 trips to montreal, for interviews, i wanted them both on the same day, to save us money lol. So we now have new interview date for May 23 at 9:30am.
I am so stressed out about everything that i have been avoiding coming on here because it makes me nervous to read about interviews, denials and problems that people have. My nerves are so bad from going thru this all, i'm sure u know what i mean lol.
I have been trying my best not to think about it, but i'm still terrified. good luck to all!

as Posted ON DCF Thread....

Yea !!!!

Tennesse Senator's Office Just Called They have received a Interview Date for Me.!!

( after I got tried of the waiting Game I asked My new Senators Office to Help)

They have assigned June 13, 2007 8:30 AM in Montreal

Yes !! I have a confirmation email vis the Senators Office from Montreal.....stating That.

Montreal are sending the Package 4 interview Letter this week..

Ok Now I am getting Busy..

Colin

That's great news ... you also mentioned in the DCF thread that Montreal has booked their interviews for June???

Is there anyone here waiting for an interview that hasn't called and bugged Montreal recently???? Any takers?

They booked for June? I thought they did the interview appt. scheduling after the 15th of each month. I was hoping on June being my time for an interview

I would but they only recently received my packet 3 so I doubt they would do anything and I guess it would be better to wait it out a couple of months at least

They also told me June/July but I called last week and I don't want to irritate

Same here... don't' want to wake the wrath of the MTL gods (lesser gods, mind you, but gods in their minds LOL) since I called last week. Should I? Shouldn't I call?????????????????????????? THAT is the question.... L.

Oh go ahead .. you know you want to!!! lol

you bet I do... but I don't want to get on their bad side..... I'm scarrrreeeeeeeddddd...... buaaaaa YOU call.... and tell us what the ambience is!!!!

Alrighty then ... considering that we're both chicken to call and tick off the people at Montreal for calling tooo much ... anyone else due for an interview interesting in making a phone call?

My fiancé called Montreal today to do our weekly check for an interview date and FINALLY we're scheduled JUNE 15th!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo excited, at least for the moment. I know I'll soon be frustrated once again, once I grasp that we still have to wait 6 weeks!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Congrats!!!!!!!!!

It'll go fast .........honest!!

Four months and five days (???) since you sent your packet 3...not too bad!!! Now I can be more hopeful for early September...maybe? lol

And at least you have an interview date now...what is six weeks compared to four to seven months?

current dates


added MyheartsinCanada........somehow missed her last time.......sorry girl
did I miss anyone this time?

I can't figure out how to open these .doc files any way you can convert them to .wpd or .txt? Maybe I'm using the wrong computer, lol

Cutie my dear,
You are only considering K visas in your timeline, right? Do you know of anyone keeping taps on CR1's?????
Thanks, L.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You won't get black listed if you call. I emailed them that question back in the day(it's in the MTL waiting room thread). They said multiple calls/emails won't hiner you, but you need to be patient.

Yeah I was only doing the k visa at Montreal because Montreal really doesnt have much affect on the scheduling or timeline of the CR-1. I dont know might be keepping tabs on the CR-1's but I'll give it a look-see this afternoon and try and put something together.

Melytha, it's a word doc.......if you dont have word on your computer you wont be able to open it.

there arent enough cr-1's and /or enough timelines completed to put together anything. I recall trying to do it a couple weeks ago and ended up with 2 or 3 that had any good info........

sowwy

Yeah, the only good CR-1/IR-1 timeline for Montreal was in the last update a few pages back.

No problem. I will still call them next week after my medical (I am tempted to call this week, but still scawwwy).
Gratzie, Len.

Just got off the phone with rude Montreal. I asked if by chance an interview appt has been set up yet
She told me "no appt. has been scheduled it takes 4 to 6 months from when we received the packet 3, there's no need to be calling inquiring, you will be notified by mail when the appointment will be"
