Any idea how long nvc to book a interview

[Couchpotato560 2]

My interview is in Montreal. I found out 2 weeks ago my paperwork was accepted by nvc, I am being lined up for my interview.

Check the regional forum for Canada, there's likely a discussion about Montreal interview wait times there. You can also check the CR1/IR1 timelines of those who have gone through Montreal to see how long it took for them between NVC case closed and interview. NVC typically schedules the interview a month ahead of the date, but how long it can take before you get an appointment depends on the backlog of the consulate

Months. With the current backlog, between Feb-April depending on how many applicants are before you. Would  you like to be added in the private group message? The group is specifically Montreal CR1/IR1. You can see the group and members with DQ and IL and interview here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LvnDvX95_tfWtTvsJJM49PDPPvPKal0WG2rgdZHhsz0/htmlview

Yes. Montreal CR1/IR1.

The interview is quick and easy. Just verifying things on documents you submitted and details about you and spouse. If you go to Canadian consulate reviews, you will read other applicants experience. 

Over 5 months from documentary qualified (June 3) to interview day (Nov 18)

It took me a hot minute to realize what you mean by IL.

Does NVC not call it packet 4 anymore? (p4) because that's how our timelines are written on VJ and how it's traditionally been called.

I picked  up IL, CC, DQ from

members here last April when I signed up hahaha! 

I was also confused about packets then. 

I am not sure but I only received an e-mail for my interview and there is no part on the e-mail that says packet 4. I guess that’s why other members call it now interview letter (IL)? 

I just got my passport back with visa yesterday and we also don’t have the sealed packet anymore for POE. 

 

Here is mine:

The National Visa Center (NVC) completed its processing of your immigrant visa application and forwarded it to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General, where an immigrant visa interview has been scheduled. Appointment information is located at the bottom of this email.

Important Information:
You submitted forms and supporting documents to the NVC in electronic form. You must present the original forms and documents for review by the consular officer during your interview.

Please promptly read and follow all Interview Preparation Instructions located on the Department of State's web site at: https://nvc.state.gov/interview.

Important information regarding the required medical appointment is also listed on this site. Failure to promptly follow all instructions provided on this site will result in your immigrant visa being refused at the initial interview.

You should present this letter upon arrival at the Embassy/Consulate General.

Those members of your family, named below, must appear at the Embassy/Consulate General on the appointment date.

What To Do if You Cannot Keep the Appointment:
Some Embassies/Consulates General reschedule interview appointments themselves; others utilize an outside service provider to reschedule appointments. To determine the proper procedure for rescheduling your interview appointment, please go to the Department of State's web site at: https://nvc.state.gov/interview, under "Step 2", select your interview location from the dropdown and click "Download PDF" and follow your Embassy/Consulate General's instructions listed under "Contact Information" on the right.

Reminders:

• Read and follow all interview instructions located at https://nvc.state.gov/interview.
• Bring this letter to your medical examination because the panel physician may need to review it before performing the examination.
• If a sponsor filed an I-864 (Affidavit of Support) AND provided the NVC with proof of an IRS Federal Income Tax Extension in lieu of a Federal Income Tax Return, you must upload this to CEAC or bring the sponsor's most recent Federal Income Tax Return to the visa interview.
• Failure to present all necessary documents to the Consular Officer will result in your immigrant visa being refused at the initial interview.

 

Questions:
The National Visa Center has completed its processing of this case and any further inquiries should be addressed to the U.S. Embassy, Consulate General, or Diplomatic Mission listed below. When communicating with the Embassy/Consulate General by e-mail, letter, or fax, always refer to your name and case number exactly as they appear.

Traditionally it was always called the CC (case complete) which the NVC more recently dubbed as DQ.

This was in my email subject line.. thus P4

 (P4 FOR NEOPOST DS-1200)

I have the emails but they don't seem to have their attachments anymore after 6 years.
