So I've posted this on the Canada regional forum but just in case ppl don't see...here is my question (specific to Montreal consulate):

I just have a question for clarification as it seems there has been different answers roaming around.

I just sent in my packet 3 and waiting for it to be logged. Does the immigration visa unit schedule your interview for you or do you do it yourself when packet 4 has been logged? I've read around in other forums that they schedule it for you. But on packet 4 it says you have to do it...and when I check the CSC website it shows this:

"Please note that this system does not reflect appointments that have been assigned directly by the U.S. Government. If you have received an appointment letter (or e-mail) directly from the National Visa Center, Kentucky Consular Center or the Immigrant Visa Unit, you should attend the appointment date and time listed in that letter."

Sooo confused!

You schedule online. You should receive an email if you gave them your emails in Packet 3 the second you're "logged". Otherwise you just call DoS to find out when they've logged it.
