IR1 / CR1 - Montreal Timeline to Interview

lebtro · November 20, 2007

i was wondering if you went to the montreal consulate or ottawa embassy wouldnt they allow my wife to get a visa to come in until her interview date is near? instead of going to the border...?

Montreal is the only place in Canada that processes the CR-1/IR-1 (assuming that is all you are filing for per your posted time line).

Wow, that Karina sure buzzed through the process rather quickly. I want to be like Karina!

Yes, I had a look at her timeline because it seemed awfully strange. The thing with her is that she actually applied in October of 2006 - so it took 10 months from application to interview, took 5 months for the NOA2. Makes you wonder if interview dates have something to do with original application date as opposed to just finishing at NVC date...hmm

I got a letter from the NVC in like october or Nov. 2006.. and i acutally had a VERY HARD TIME getting all the paper work for packet 3.. if i got everything i would have finished in like jan or feb... but it took me like 5 months just to get everything together because of all the differnt wait times i had to undergo and than they actaully wanted the orginals so i had to wait another month. Im hoping it is like this.

When i called the NVC they tell me that they are working on the secudling and it might be in dec if not jan... So i think i may have some sort of priority? what you guys think??

Nobody got a December interview? I surely didn't, just got done at the NVC. Although that didn't stop me from calling them...twice...while they were scheduling this month. Got my first introduction of the canned "we don't know when you'll be scheduled, we get open slots from the embassy" line.

Has anyone thought of using FOIA to get NVC metrics per embassy?

what is FOIA?

lebtro · November 20, 2007

Since she managed to get a visitor's visa before, maybe you can attempt to get another one, rather than just showing up at the border and being turned back (or not), it seems unlikely though.

Good question Ladyjane, are you saying you are going to attempt to get this!?
