Amy faxed in her packet 3 on Monday and got her interview letter in the mail today. January 18th. I'm happy to finally have that date and be able to make plans from there. But that seems like they're scheduling it pretty far out. She asked for the interview ASAP on the form.
Does the Consulate shutdown over the holidays?

Congrats on the date! I think they only shut down for a couple of days around Christmas. Here is a list of the holidays that they observe.

January 18th will be here before you know it, especially with the holidays. They are still scheduling WAY sooner than Montreal, so consider yourself blessed. I suppose you could always contact them and ask for something sooner. Best of luck with everything.

Congrats on your interview date. Good timing on this post for everyone considering switching.

Congrats!!!
