Wait time for Montreal Consulate to send an interveiw letter?

[Halioak 0]

Hi folks, I have an E type immigrant visa case now with Montreal Consulate.  The status of my case changed from In Transit to Ready on Mar. 22nd.  According to the CEAC case status, I am supposed to wait until Montreal Consulate to send me an interview letter for me to book an interview.  Do you know how long it typically takes them to send a note after the case is ready?   Really appreciate it!

There is about a 2 year wait currently. There is a whole thread about it. They are currently processing E visas from July 2022. So you are in for a long wait

Thank you for your reply!  My  case was approved for an expeditious process and the case was shipped to Montreal Consulate.  I was not sure if it will still be a two year wait time.

What was your reason for being expedited ?

Be forewarned - just because you were given an expedite does not mean your case will be adjudicated immediately.  It simply means your case will be adjudicated in a truncated timeline relative to others in your category.  It also will not exclude you from the administrative processing and background checks that have, at times, lead to the issuance of a 221g or DS-5535. 

 

Again, not trying to be a negative nelly, just a voice of reason to help keep expectations in check so you aren't disappointed.

For sure!  Thanks for your note!  I was excited that my case status turned to Ready and thought it should be in the pipeline of interview arrangement.  But it has been two weeks with no IL.
