It's not that I have been avoiding VJ, but I have been feeling so bad that IL's have not been forthcoming since May, and I understand how hard it is just hoping everyday that they will arrive.  I also

Didn't have to call! IL arrived at 3:36 am, interview June 29th, at 7:30.  Hope there are many more to follow!

I think, IR/CR wait times will be reduced to a matter of hours, kinda like a drive thru... EB applicants, however, will continue telling tales of patience and how their journey was to Mordor... s

Hi all, here's an update on my case:

 

As you may know, I was not able to attend my initial interview in April, was able to finally reschedule for July 2nd (

 

  • - Interview scheduled for 7.30AM
  • - Lined up at the embassy by 6.45 and was #2 in line
  • - They started letting people in by 7.35AM
  • - Front person checks your passports and immigrant visa interview confirmation
  • - You are let in, through security check, similar to airport security check (my phone was stored and checked in with them until I left the consulate) - no bagpacks, no food, no drinks, etc. 
  • - You are escorted down to the 'basement' where you are handed your number with instructions to organize your documents in a specific order (here's what I remember)
    • Passport
    • photos
    • Medical
    • Birth Certificate and translation
    • Marriage Certificate
    • Police certificate(s)
    • Income Tax Return (however they never asked for it)
  • You wait until the room is filled with enough people, then take an elevator to the 19th floor to the interview area
  • You are seated until your number is called, first window person asks for the original documents above and for me they asked for a recent Job Offer
  • Once all documents are provided, fingerprints are taken, address is verified, and then you are seated again
  • I waited another 15-20mins until we were called in for the actual interview 
  • Interview lasted 10-15mins (my case was complicated so it took longer than usual) - started with an oath, signed letter that I'll be working for the employer once I land, etc.
  • Questions asked for my EB2 case:
    • Who's your petitioner?
    • What is your role title (was not asked for role description)?
    • What is your salary?
    • Location of your work
    • Countries you visited in the past 5 years
    • Your highest education - and majors for both bachelors and masters
    • What university (both masters and bachelors)
    • Talk to me about the countries you lived in since 16 years old - and under what visa (i.e. student/F1 visa in US, etc.)
    • What was the last time you were in the States, date you left, etc.
  • Wife was then interviewed, similar questions
  • Both were given the green paper slip (approval) - passports were taken and they mentioned they'll be provided back to us in two weeks

 

Wish you all the best. Be patient, even though Montreal is slow in processing employment based applications, it will all be good! Once your I-140 is approved, your 'technically' only attending the consulate as a formality.

Thanks for Sharing your experience. That was pretty detailed.

Best of luck for your future ventures.

I didn’t call them. Are they scheduling for August now? Is it right that visas will be unavailable in September month?

They are scheduling now. Not sure about the visa availability, this is based on the monthly visa bulletin.
