Sorry if someone else has already asked this but I am having a hard time finding an answer in all different forum posts. We just got the email yesterday that My (and kids) NVC is complete. I know that the next step is the interview in Montreal but am really unsure how long before we find out about interview, how they notify us of interview date, etc. I am in Alberta and a bit stressed about getting flights in time so that its not ridiculous expensive. Would love to hear what others have experienced for wait times, how you were notified of interview date and how far out your interview date was from time you were notified. Also trying to give employer an idea of how much time off I will need...I know that we need to do medical exam in Montreal before interview, how long before, how long were most of you in Montreal for the entire ordeal? Thanks to anyone who has some answers, sorry again if I am asking a question that has answers posted elsewhere.

Our case was completed on 04/10/14 (a Thursday) and we had our interview date on that following Tuesday (04/15/14). It was set out about a month and a half later. I'm not sure what the timelines look like now. But we started calling NVC that next day until they had our interview date for us. Calling is better as we did not receive our appointment letter until almost a week later. Good luck!

IR1/CR1 Visa - We are using a lawyer!

Embassy: Montreal, Canada

USCIS

22 Jan 2013 -- packageSent
31 Jan 2013 -- NOA1 from NBC

6 Mar 2013 -- I130 transferred to Orlando local field office (which started the whole nightmare)

Mar 2013 to October 2013 no one would tell us where our case was or what was happening. I suspected the whole time it was just sitting in a corner somewhere in the Orlando field office. I was pretty much right.

October 2013 - get congressman involved. Congressman asks USCIS repeatedly about our case but they won't even tell them anything.

31 Jan 2014- finally get NOA2!!!! (we think the nightmare is over!)

NVC

Our case was not sent from the Orlando field office as it should have been. The nightmare continues. We kept calling NVC and asking if they received our case, and they always said "NO" and that we had to wait 90 business days for it to be received. We called USCIS during this time and they kept telling us it had been sent. After the 90 days of agonizing frustration, NVC then started telling us we had to wait 120 business days. I got our congressman involved again, and they told the congressman it was sitting at the Orlando office this whole time (just as I thought it was!).

22 Apr 2014 -- NVC received
16 May 2014 -- NVC case number assigned
24 May 2014 -- AoS and IV bills paid

28 May 2014 -- Sent AoS and IV Packages

6 June 2014 -- documents scanned

18 July 2014 -- false checklist from NVC

21 July 2014 -- Case complete

28 July 2014 -- receive case complete email from NV

30 July 2014 -- interview booked! September 11 here I come!

Embassy
04 Sept 2014 -- Medical
