NVC to Interview

[JennandJames 19]

I was just wondering how long it has taken people to go from submitting documents online to getting the interview? We are US/Canada spouses doing to CR1 VISA. I just paid the fees to the NVC and will start submitting documents next week.

I hear there is a backlog at Montreal. Check the Canada-specific forum: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/93-canada/ @NikLR might have more info.

It depends on the consulate. Right now CR1 interviews at Montreal are approximately 2 months (give or take a few weeks) after case complete, which happens about 3 weeks from when you submit your documents. If you don't have any issues with your documents and get case complete first go, I'd say the interview is about 3-4 months from where you are now. Every time you have to submit more documents it adds about an extra 3 weeks to that estimate though.

I'm getting a 6 week case complete time and then five months after that for an interview. Where did you get this information?

You’re replying to a six month old thread. Likely the information is now out of date.
