Hi!

We were just wondering if there has been any recent experience with Vj'ers on how long it took to get an interview date after their case was completed at NVC?

We understand interview dates are given out the second week of the month until the dates are full and then you have to wait for the next month. We were wondering approx. how long this process could take???? :-):whistle:

Thanks for your help!

Our case was completed back in March and our interview date was 54 days between CC and interview. While I was waiting for an interview date, I was looking at other Canadians' timelines and from CC to interview, it was between 40-60 days on average.

Also, please do not listen to the scripts given by the operators that interviews are only scheduled during the second week of each month. It's a LIE. If you want to see proof, look at my signature. I was scheduled on the 25th, the FOURTH week. You can get your interview date any week during the month, so continue calling NVC and DOS if you want to know right away.

Ditto to what Saylin posted. good.gif

I interviewed in 2009 and even back then NVC was sticking to the "second week of the month" line. Funny I also got my interview date the fourth week of the month. At that time I waited 6 weeks after NVC completion to get a date which was 6 weeks ahead, so a total of three months after case completion.

Thankfully Montreal has gotten rid of some of their backlog and interviews aren't so far apart from case completion as it was in previous years.

Thanks guys! It's wonderful news to hear. We're patient but there's still that niggling little "want it over" feeling no matter what else is happening. The process has been smooth but only because of this forum... and I appreciate the input and support from all of you.

Good luck to all of us!:thumbs:
