Montreal Consulate EB-2 Interview Wait Time - Part 3

[SAHK 2]

Hi, 

Did anyone get 60 days reminder after shutdown; I was suppose to get on October 1st but did not get this time, I don't know why? It's good or bad?

I got it on Oct 2. I see from the google sheet that you're Sep 2024 - so I think your last 60 day reminder was only last month (September), correct?

Same here. I never got a 60-day reminder email. PD: Dec 2023 and DQ: July 2024. However, I have contacted NVC every few months to keep the case open.

 

Should I be worried that I never received a 60-day reminder email?

@Canadian24  This may be a silly question.  There is no restriction on carrying a file organizer, right?  I am planning on carrying a "Tamfile Fireproof Accordion File Organizer".  Appreciate your contributions to this forum and wishing you the best in USA.

Hi @sapkde9 @MaraR @Mano17, I noticed from the Google Sheet that your interviews are coming up soon -- wishing you the very best for it! 

I’d like to ask a small favor on behalf of everyone still waiting for their interview letter. After your interview (if you feel comfortable doing so), could you kindly ask any friendly consulate staff whether they happen to know anything about the current delays, how often interview letters are being sent out, or any other related updates?

Of course, no worries at all if the situation doesn’t allow. We completely understand that staff may not be closely involved with NVC scheduling. Your effort would still mean a lot to all of us.

Best of luck again with your interview!

I only started to get the reminders when my case became current in June,2025. Got the second one on August 1st, but did not get the October one. Some say that its a positive sign as they may start to the process of interview scheduling but not sure.

Can anyone tell me what is required for DQ? I am hoping to be contacted for DQ process soon, trying to be ready when it comes.

what happens if your DS160 or DS260 (in my case) expires while waiting for your interview ? I was checking CEAC portal and my DS260 has expiration date in 2025.

IV Scheduling Status Tool saying NVC now sending IL to July 2024, did anyone get ILs? Last month was May 2024, so a 2 months move forward.

Thank you for sharing. Hopefully, those who have been waiting since the last IL batch will also receive some positive updates soon.
