How about a thread with a list of people waiting so it's easier to see at a glance how long it's taking... kinda like the one I'm upkeeping in the K3 forum.... I too read the Montreal Waiting Room thread, and it took me forever to read

I would be happy to start it... any other takers ?

Great idea amarceau! You can take me off the list though, I've transferred my case to Vancouver. I haven't updated my timeline yet, since it's sort of wonky now with the transfer. Sorry about that

This was a great idea I was trying to keep track of some of it on paper, thanks amarceau and keep up the good work.

does anyone have a timeline for just the CR/IR1? we're not doing a K3, are we in the same line as the K3s?

If your timeline is anything like mine was, you'll probably get an interview sooner than K3s.

That's what I'm hoping for too...

If it helps... once NVC received everything..said 8 weeks to process... well 4 weeks and one day (in July) we received notice of interview date which was for August. good luck

You can add me to the list also. K1, NOA2 10/03/06, NVC sent petition to MTL 10/13/06, sent packet 3 to MTL on 10/23/06, MTL received next day. My timeline is up to date.

Already I feel like I have a better idea of how things are moving - the table really helps. I feel less despondent about Montreal

Me too.... as you can tell, I'm a big fan of the tables Much easier to figure out what's going on at a glance

Can you add me to the waiting list as well? Visa type DCF, NOA2 6/14/2006, sent to MTL 6/14/2006, packet 3 7/6/2006, no interview date yet....

Add me! I'm a K1!


Cass (bebop the great)

Not sure why we haven't received our interview date - maybe the K1 and K3 get earlier dates??? There's nothing unique about our case (Alex was an American expat working in Calgary for three years, we dated during this time, got married and filed our I130 in Calgary this summer). His company hired a lawyer (maybe thats whats slowing us down?? and she thought we'd have our interview date by September/October, now she's saying we're in the queue but it could take up to 5 months from now....We're hope its sooner rather than later - Alex was transferred back to Houston in August so we've been apart for a while...

Congrats on getting your packet 3 Amarceau.

Thanks Leafgal !

I'm very excited Of course I'll probably be sendind back the DS230 for the I130 next week.... I might just wait for the CR1 is almost complete ...

amarceau, care to change my interview date? It's now Dec 14th. We inquired about a change via email and the consulate gave us the new date. It was with mixed emotions that this happened, but we're thankful God made the decision for us and we don't have to second guess which option was better.

Amarceau, Maybe if you change JG's just include a note that it was changed by choice, since the originally given date gives a more accurate impression of the waiting time.

We are doing the straight CR-1. Our case was complete Sept 20th at NVC. Still have not received anything in on it being transferred to Montreal or any interview set. On the automated system it said to give it 8 weeks - it's been 6 weeks already.

Thanks, was just about to post about adding me to the list

Mtl received my DS-230 yesterday morning so im officially in the waiting line

YAY! Almost there (CSC, NVC pain are gone)

Mephys

Just on a quick note, Nov 22 is the date I received my packet at home from the embassy, Mtl received my petition from NVC somewhere between the 16th and the 20th.

So hubby sent his packet 3 back to Mtl on Nov6 . I emailed them last night to inquire as to whether it was in fact received and the response was as follows:

"Yes, all was received.You will wait for four months till you hear of an appointment day"

I know this is nothing new and i shouldn't be feeling the angst I am, but for the love of Fred......if we wait 4 months to hear and the actual appointment is a couple months after that...........UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH

Oh they are annoying!! Hopefully after the holidays they will get their act together!! Seriously I'm not even dealing with that wait yet, and I really think it will be the worst part!

Seriously though.... I know that everybody is freaking out with what the embassy says in the replys ( on the phone and e-mails)

Heres a fact:

They receive millions of phone calls ans e-mails everyday and are probably fed up with that and probably give this generic 4 to 6 months answer to make sure people are gonna stop busting their balls.

Second:

We see it here, average to get back the packet 4 is usually 2 months. And as far as Im concern the longest timeframe ive seen for somebody waiting was 4 months between packet 3 sent and Interview, and it was jerseygirl.

FInally:

Even on the letter that they give into the packet 3 its written that delays for the interview date are around 2-4months.
So please, people, get real about this. The less we are going to call them the more time they will have to get their job done Anyone as tried to work when the phone keeps ringing?? Thats a serious pain in the a....

Just do something else and try to get your mind off of it , its gonna pass by faster and you will be really happy. And you may even get a surprise!



Mephys

nevermind changed my mind about posting.

heheh I read it prior to ur editing riblet, lol

I guess it will be our little secret then

Hmm, maybe, maybe not!! Never knew you thought so little of fellow Vjer's!!! Just kidding, was pretty harmless stuff, lol But I did agree with it!! Best of luck
