Is anyone currently booking their interview dates at the Vancouver consulate and if so, could you let me know what interview dates were currently available? I am trying to see if I can get a general idea of when I would be needing to travel to the Vancouver consulate for my interview.

Thanks

I recently booked my Vancouver interview. I can't see now, but when I booked there was a lot of availability, but only on Tuesday's so be prepared that if you are travelling there and doing the medical as well, you probably will have to stay over the weekend. I have to do medical on Friday, results Monday, interview Tues.

When I booked they had dates every Tuesday from next week to end of Feb. They seem to put out a month or two at a time and updated it around the 3rd week of the month. I don't know if that is their norm, but I was watching it for a while.

They are not nearly as busy as Montreal, so you could probably just watch and wait for the month you want.

We just booked out interview in Vancouver and we are on the 20th which was the only day available in January. There was some on December 30th.

There are multiple times all in the morning available.

Thanks for the insight guys! I am waiting on the Affidavit of Support and my passport to be renewed which I should have early in the new year, and then I will be able to complete the DS160 and wait for notice to book my interview. I still have my fingers crossed I can get over to be with my Fiance by April!
