1. From present

2. I wasn’t asked that. What I was asked was what was your longest stay in the US. It is irrelevant that they already have the info from I-94. They have most of the other info too. They ask to see how you answer, to judge whether there is any misrepresentation/ fraud etc. 

3. Don’t know the answer to this, as my category is different and spouse wasn’t present at the interview (I am guessing it is done together).

Thanks great info!

Sent an email today - will see if we hear anything!

FYI -just got a response from Montreal consulate  to email which I sent on May 3rd.  So hopefully you will hear about interview before you hear from the Consulate regarding your email.  My fingers are crossed for you!

No!  It just says you already have an appointment booked and then it goes on to repeat everything that  was in the interview letter.  But at least they responded!

I recall Sorrel being March 11. I remember coz vancitycdn8 was on March 1, just 10 days ahead of Sorrel and yet Sorrel hadn’t received IL at the end of March

FYI NVC takes a LONG time to respond to emails. They are currently responding to emails received in March.

@LMIV your best bet is to call NVC. Call at precisely 7am EST to avoid a wait. Also email Montreal consulate. They usually respond within a week.

I sent the email to the Consulate in Montreal only, and did not copy the NVC.  Hopefully you sent your email to Montreal and not the NVC.

Yes I emailed the Montreal Consulate only.  No word back yet and case status is still at NVC.

@kiboy Are you sure Manila embassy is interviewing DQ2022? https://www.manilatimes.net/2022/05/02/opinion/columns/visa-backlog-wait-transfer-or-pursue-other-options/1841998

Looks like K1 visa applicants can now schedule their own interviews at US Embassy Montreal and choose the date that works for them. Do you know if this was an option for EB visas before the pandemic?
