K-1 filers - JAN/FEB 2019 NOA2--> Montreal Consulate

[Mila062019 23]

Okay so if April is booked so far, I’m a bit panicked. We have our wedding planned for June 8th. Is there anything I can do to make this an easier process? I have yet to get my packet 3, I feel pretty lost in this part of the process.

Has Montreal really had your file since February 1st as per your timeline? If that's the case, you may want to send in the P3 documents now without waiting for them to send you anything. You may be able to grab a May 1 appointment when they open up and be ok for June 8th.

When does CEAC show your case as last updated? If you can get a May 1 interview and your visa comes through no issues you should be okay. Keep in mind though that April filled up 3 weeks faster than most months, which LOTS of people are going to be on hold waiting for May to open up. 3 weeks worth of P4s is a lot of people looking to schedule. May will go even fast than April did. 

 

Golden rule of immigration is don't book anything until visa in hand.

I wish they had a better system for booking interviews. It's causing me so much anxiety not knowing when appointments will open up. If only they had a wait list for us to sign up on or something to make it fair for those who've been waiting longer since getting Packet 4.

I'm so afraid that if I don't check the site often enough, others will swoop in and beat me to it for May 🤦🏼‍♀️

For those of you who are predicting a May interview.  Do you anticipate having petitioner 2018 tax return for the I-134 evidence by then or using 2017?  I'm worried 2017 won't be recent enought even though US filing date isn't until April 15th.

I totally feel you, even though I’m not quite at that stage, the unknowns make this process so stressful. I’ve already called all my wedding vendors for alternative dates because i just don’t think it will happen. I know the rule is to not plan anything, but i’m a planner and its tough enough as it is being far away from the person you want to be with.

You can try sending your P3 in via e-mail... the 26th is when they prob mailed P3 to you

Hit up that court house... plan a big event when you're not held down by uncertainties.

Hi there,

I am an IR-1 actually and this will be my 2nd interview (after my i601 was approved). I was asked to schedule an appointment by Montreal as well and have been diligently checking for 3 weeks now but haven't found anything

Have been seeing the same words in red...No appointments available...try again later. I imagine the K-1 and IR-1 slots are the same (if someone can verify?) hence am assuming am in the same boat...looking for an appointment.

I tried calling the local number provided (for Winnipeg) but it would hang up after reaching the immigrant visa option hence I was wondering what number people are calling to check on appointments?

Was hoping to get something for April but I guess those are all full.

Just thought I would message here since I havent been getting a  response when I posted as a new topic on this (sorry)

Is this a normal message? Our case left NVC on Tuesday!

Yep.  Mine left NVC Tuesday as well and still reads "in transit".  I do know our DHL shipment was signed for in Montreal so it's there, just not logged into the system yet, I guess.  Let's keep one another posted!

But the “Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center” part?

Not relevant to K-1. It’s ok. It’s standard.

Just received ready status on ceac website. At this point I just wait for packet 3?
