Tracking EP at the NVC (YOUR DATA NEEDED!)

[mag2929 68]

Do we know the average review time from a supervisor? Should we do that tomorrow afternoon or Monday? It's only been 70 days though.

We haven't brought up anything since it did nothing for us. At this point, we just want answers.

What happened to your case?

You know, I have seen various accounts from 5 days to five weeks with the supervisor review, so I suppose you are taking a chance. Like I said, this is not first hand knowledge, just stuff I've picked up dredging this board. However, it seems with the NVC you really never know. It also seems to depend on the agent you get, so if you get a nice one, maybe it's worth asking. Someone else on the board posted that they got a nice agent who was going to look into it for them (and they have waited beyond the 60 days too).

My case is my fault. I got a weird email telling me that they received nothing from us, and when I called (three weeks and a half into the case being scanned), they told me I had to resend it all, so I panicked and did. This means my CC MAY be delayed by more than three weeks (just like Two Chickies), which puts me in a time frame that creates real havoc with our lives. I should not have, I should have known the agent was full of C…P and just bided my time.

I just feel when you are beyond the 60 days they advertise, it's not uncalled for to check. If you feel like you need to wait, you could just wait until next week. Also, if you feel like you get an agent who you connect with, you could ask, otherwise, just get whatever info you can and hang up:)

Thank you so much! The feeling to see the 3nas!!! I almost fell out of my chair!!

I think Suzi got May 20. Who else got May 15? I hope we are not too late for May interview date. I dont think Not a Tailor got a date yet either since her CC was on Monday.

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

Congrats Steven and Alice! And ooh, that's good news on them starting to schedule the May interviews. I haven't heard anything yet. Hoping I will get a May interview. I'm terrified I was late enough in March I won't get anything until June, but it seems like that would be unusual for Montreal, so I'm hopeful.

I bet! You probably thought you were dreaming!! haha

Someone who goes by the name boardercrosser got an interview for May 15. I don't know their whole story but they have been stuck at the NVC for a very long time and just finally got through because of their congressman. The link to the Canadian thread is:

People post reviews of their interview experiences in Montreal (someone just went last week) which may be helpful to you and they discuss the best places to get your medical done (in certain areas)...etc. Check it out!

Thank you! I am worried about the same thing too. Ashamed to say I haven't researched much about the embassy/interview stage. We dont know if they do interviews the whole month. It will be great if we both get a late May date! Wonder when we will get notice about interview or we have to call NVC in like 2 weeks to find out.

Haha yeah! I shrieked and told my husband to log on too to confirm. It's like we read about it all the time and we all expect to see that sometime but when it happens we still get all emotional about! lol

Thank you for the link. I will read up on them too.

I heard its quick for Montreal interview. In and out within 2 hours if line up before 7 am.

I'm more concerned about applying for EI and declare assets/cash at POE since CAD is so low. I wonder if we can take all CAD as is and deposit it as CAD in the states and wait it out....

Hmmm yes...I have not given much thought to beyond the interview either!! I was planning to keep my Canadian bank account though and just leave my money in it for now...is that not allowed?

It is allowed. My bank, when I talked to them, have said that they can convert my account to a savings account when I leave so I won't have service fees.

ahh ok great!! That makes sense. Thank you

No problem! Talk to your bank, that's the important part. I'm with RBC so I can receive EI into my (what will be) savings account and transfer money out once a month, without penalty, to my US account (with the same bank) and then I can write a cheque to myself for my USAA account (no service fees!) and keep my money there. Once I am done with EI, I will convert my RBC US account to a savings or possibly close it.

Such great information!! Thank you so much! I'm with Scotiabank so I will look into if they have something similar. If not, maybe I'll be switching to RBC haha

I literally switched to RBC to be able to do this. I was with PC Financial, but I needed the cross-border banking option and only a handful of banks have that. RBC has it. TD has it. I don't know about anyone else. I had a tonne of bad experiences with TD, personally, due to having some unusual financial circumstances (and an ex whose mother worked for the higher levels of the bank and who I know likes to watch her childrens' exes finances all smug-like and I didn't want her to see mine), so I figured I'd give RBC a chance. So far they haven't let me down.

But dont we need to declare $ amount it at POE?
