K-1 people waiting for interviews at Montreal

[dutchmatt 1]

We contacted my fiancees congresswomen last week and we spoke with a family friend who works at the mexican consulate in LA that knows someone at the DOS, so that may have help us. I dunno. Hopefully the mail comes soon!

Congrats on the interview! If you don't mind me asking, what information did you give in your letter and did you mail or email?

As I already said congrats in your other post. And yeah Im really jealous and curious... well Im trying to be civil here and also hopeful.

So yes I hope that what everyone is speculating is correct and that we were all given dates because if not... I will just burst into tears and cry my entire day tomorrow. And at this point I dont even care if my interview is later in the year or early next year, as long as I have a frigging date and plan my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND it IS possible that having contacted your congressman might have helped. I mentioned in an earlier post that a family friend's fiancee received her interview a week after he (the petitioner) called his senator. If thats the case, the hunny has some major calling to do...

Nothing too special. Just explained the situation, how long we've been waiting and the fact that montreal has been awful. What we really asked was to have our case switched to vancouver and breifly mentioned that if they could help us with montreal. I don't know if they actually helped though because we havent heard back from them, but it does seem like something weird is going on. My advice is just to stay busy, make some phone calls and write some emails. Attempting to take some control of the situation gave me some peace knowing that I wasn't entirely at their mercy.

i'll call DOS tomorrow and i'm hoping for good news!!!

good luck to us ALL!!!

I knew emailing them was useless. I just have to do something. I refuse to sit here and think about the fact that, based on everyone else's timeline, I won't be seeing an interview until... March? April? May?

Hey guys...just wanted to pop in and wish you all dates soon...the waiting part is the suckiest... but I do want to say that Huggles is right....sometimes they fast forward and play catch up and schedule a mass amount of interviews....back when we were waiting...there were a bunch of people before us that were waiting for 4 months (back from Dec 2008) and the all of a sudden they scheduled us all! Some people who had waited 4 months, got interviews the same time as us who had only waited 3 weeks.....so if you think just because people who filed months before you are not schedeuled yet, so this may mean you are months behind....may not be true....you could be days behind them!

Good luck to all

I really hope you're right. In any case, there is one of four things going on here:

• Montreal mass-scheduled everyone through a certain date, which would be win.
• Montreal scheduled dutchmatt due to pressure from his congressperson, which means everyone start your letter writing!
• Montreal just scheduled him randomly out of order because they're mean and/or incompetent like that.
• Montreal didn't schedule him and we're going to have another Peachey / Varba situation, and still have no idea what's going on inside that scary building in Quebec.

Really hoping it's not one of those last two.

By the way, I'm totally setting my cell phone to record when I talk to the Department of State tomorrow.

Zoom. I missed something. A form? I have a very busy fiance working 1.4 million hours a week. A form would be stellar.

I really hope its the first case. I kept having random dreams about a K1 appointment all night/morning long and finally at 6:30 today, I got up and parked my #### in front of my computer, waiting for 8:30. Gosh, Im so nervous about calling and just cant help but be so hopefully and if its another disappointment, Im gonna have a really bad week.

I'm nervous too. I'm on hold. I didn't even know it opened at 8:30 lol! I haven't had any coffee yet. I really hope this is good news. I bet half us Canadians are causing this 10 minutes wait time!

And yeah Spoom, you put it perfectly.. I really hope it's not the last two either. Everyone's voices together is encouraging, but I'm afraid that I've got my hopes up too much.

Release form to let your congressperson harass Montreal for you.
