IR1 Montreal Consulate Wait Time for Interview

[Rob Phillips 2]

Hi All,

 

My son and I have been approved by the NVC for our IR1 Visa’s since the middle of June 2018. Now we are awaiting our interview date at the Montreal Consulate.

 

Anyone know how long it currently takes to receive an interview date in Montreal, Canada?

 

Thank you in advance for your knowledge and insight

Salut à tous,

 

Mon fils et moi avons été approuvés par la CNV pour notre visa IR1 depuis la mi-juin 2018. Nous attendons maintenant la date de notre entrevue au consulat de Montréal.

 

Quelqu'un sait combien de temps il faut pour recevoir une date d'entrevue à Montréal, au Canada?

 

Merci d'avance pour vos connaissances et votre perspicacité

Hi Mouna24,

 

That is great! You got approved at you interview today. I don’t know why things are taking so long for my son and I ?

 

According to your timeline we should’ve received our interview letter by now. Did you request an expedited interview?

 

Thank you for your response and I wish you all the best in your future in the USA

We were documentary qualified June 28, and are waiting as well.  Our friends had their interview July 16.  It took them 3 weeks from being doc qualified to get their interview date.  I think things are really backed up :( I called today and was on hold for 1 hour and 20 minutes just to hear that there is nothing they can tell me.  We will be notified once a date becomes available.

Salut Mouna24,

 

C'est super! Vous avez été autorisé lors de votre entretien aujourd'hui. Je ne sais pas pourquoi les choses à faire pour mon fils et moi?

 

Selon votre calendrier, nous avons reçu notre lettre d'interview maintenant. Avez-vous demandé une entrevue accélérée?

 

Merci pour votre réponse et vous souhaitez tout savoir sur votre avenir aux Etats-Unis

I don't ask an interview expedite

Same with me... I became documetary qualified on June 28 and still no news on the interview!  According to the timelines I should have heard something by now...

gets a little hard on the patience

Hi B and S,

I completely understand and empathize with your situation, especially at these final stages. After conducting some research it was noted that many of the staff at the Montreal US Consulate go on holidays this time of year, which creates a backlog. For how long I do not know.

CC June 29th 

Just got my appointment date: September 14th! I AM OVER THE MOON!!!!

Hi Everyone, 

 

I just received my email with my husband's interview date! Wahoo! September 11 in Montreal.  Just so you have a reference, we were documentary qualified on June 28th.  But the good news is that they are definitely scheduling appointments!  We waited 6 weeks, 6 loooooooong weeks.  I hope you are all having the same luck

 

Cheers, 

Jamie
