Hey guys, I thought it was time to start an official Montreal Interview waiting room.

This is a "continuation" of the discussions found in this thread:

So what's the latest?

I saw December interviews for August/September Packet 3 returns? Am I correct?

Let's post all progress from calls, emails, etc. in one place!

Good idea to start the thread as I for one keep checking multiple ones similar to it hoping for news.

Cheers!

Count me in the waiting room. I returned package 3 last week and have been told a couple times that it'd probably be November/December. I've got my fingers crossed! I think having one main thread is a great idea, much easier.

Yes count me in too. It is a good idea to have a thread for this so we will just keeping checking this one for the great news we are all going to recieve this week right

Best of luck to us all. I would love November, but I too am happy with December to. Just with driving I would prefer the earlier the better.

Hey there, count me in too. Since I'm the fifth to post, are does that mean all you people are ahead of us with the consulate too? I was looking at the consulate's website and saw they had a link to make an appointment online. Does anyone know if it's for our visa's or other ones?

Cass, when my fiancee called last week they said December interviews for July/August. I'm calling on Thursday, if I'm able, and she's calling Friday(if I don't hear anything).

Can I hang out in the waiting room even though I haven't got my packet 3? It just makes me feel like I'm doing something

We need to get some good magazines in here.

Haha, of course you can.

I haven't even gotten my NOA2 and I started the thread!

I just would like to get a good indication of where Montreal stands.

I still can't get over the fact that, for a lot of us, the consulate part is actually going to be LONGER than the USCIS part. You don't hear that very often!

Hi guys, I'm mailing back my checklist back to the Consulat this week, so I'll be in the waiting room with y'a!

Just called Mtl. to make sure they received my packet 3 checklist back (which they did). Of course, I asked them for an estimate for an interview date ... they said in the New Year - January.

Think that it's healthy for me to keep ignoring this information and still hope for a November interview? Aaarrggghh! Who knew that this part would be more irritating than the initail approval???

Okay - we are in - also waiting. This is a great idea, we have been checking many cases here trying to get an idea of how long. We also are in the process of trying to have our K3 transferred to Vancouver for faster processing. We are not sure what will come of that but you can check it out here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;#entry498604

I can't believe they told you that! I just received an email response from them this morning(I swear I'm not neurotic, I'm just concerned I won't get AP for a trip scheduled next spring if Montreal doesn't hurry up!) and they said they were "certain" I'd have an interview before the new year. My packet was received just a few days before yours, I wish they'd give us a straight answer!

[mozplay 28]

Well.. I'm going to continue to go with your info. lol

Just to give you all an idea of what the timeline for interviews are: I sent my Pkg 3 back in the middle of August and I have an interview for November 22.

So if this is the 'guideline' of how long it takes Montreal, it could be 3-4 months from the time you send back pkg 3, which is roughly the timeline that is given for Montreal.

I know waiting is horrible, but I know I learned to just take it all in stride and not to fret, that I would get my interview date, and I will be with the one I love.

I truly hope that you all get a speedy date though

Looking back over this past year, I can't believe I thought the whole K3 process would take 4 to 6 months. What was I smoking?

If the interview doesn't come until January, it will be 10 months. That's 10 months of anxiety, beer, IMBRA, grey hairs, taking a job I hate so I can be a sponsor, and did I mention being celibate for the first year of marriage?!

I've tried to keep a lid on my emotions, light my candles, and say my prayers. But #######? I'm about ready to snap. And you know what that means. Pass the chocolate cake. Yeah, the whole damn thing.
