Finally my case has been transferred to Montreal consulate from Islamabad. Can anyone please shed some light on how long it is taking to get an interview date?

 

Thank you.

With a CC/DQ of June 28, 2019 assuming your PD is still current it shouldn't be long now.  Unless the transfer itself causes other unknown delays.  Good luck!

Has anyone received any good news from the NVC this week?  IL's seem to come in the first week of the month from looking at the past good news.  Really hoping that this is the lucky month.

Not us. We are still waiting. Btw, our CC date is Sept 16 not 9th. It's not that big of a difference anyway. Hope we can all receive it this month!

Thanks for letting us know.  I corrected the spreadsheet with the correct date.

Hopefully February will bring our IL's.  It is what it is and in reality we are just a small percentage of people waiting in this process.

true:( Hopefully they will get more EBs done this month!

Finally got thru the process. My CC date was June 26 2019. Got an IL on January 9 2020, interview scheduled Febuary 4 @8.30. Arrived to the consulate at 8, the security guard turned me back and said to be back exactloy at 8.30. I showed up again at 8.30 and was second in line. Once entered, got the number , went thru security and did wait for another 15 minutes to be called for the documents check up. The actual interview was around 10 am and took about 10 minutes. The VO was very nice, asked few questions about the job and location, verbally approved  my visa and gave a green sheet.

 

CEAC status and passport delivery:

Feb 4 8am interview: CEAC status Ready

Feb 4 around 1pm: CEAC status Issued (with text about administrative processing)

Feb 5 around 1 pm: CEAC status Issued (your visa is in final processing, if you have not received it in 5 working days go to this link...)

Feb 6 4 pm: Email indicating shipping label is created. CEAC status is still in same state (ISSUED: your visa is in final processing...)

Feb 7: 9 am: Package is on a delivery truck

Feb 7: 12.20 Received the package

 

Good luck to all guys 😃

Hello, I’m still hoping that the IL could come today but do you think theres a low chance of IL coming this month? It’s strange not to see anyone who got EB3 letter this month:/

I have to stay optimistic.  That said the known folks on EB visas reporting are very few on visajourney so we can only predict off of what we know.  There are no July and August case complete listed here so it is sadly not surprising to not hear from anyone who received interview letters this month.  Keep the hope alive....
