For ppl in Canada (Montreal) , pls call NVC!

I just got my interview, scheduled on Sep 30th @ 8:30 am !

YEAH!

Congrats to all of you who got your interview dates!

No interview for me, yet. I just called.

No interview date yet at MTL, either. Just checked.

I just got off the phone with the NVC and was told all the September slots were filled. She was told this information this morning. They are now filling October.

Not sure what type of visas they filled them with! I was told by MTL that I should be getting an interview in Sept and they were waiting on NVC to see the list (this is yesterday).

This is getting comical. Here are two responses, one from NVC and one from Montreal Consulate today:

MTL (via email) - "The National Visa Center (NVC) has not finalized the scheduling for September, yet. We are confident that the NVC will include your case in the September round of scheduling. We expect NVC to provide us the final calendar for September by next week."

NVC (over phone) - We have completed Sept and have sent it back to MTL. You will need to wait until MTL sends Oct and in order of priority it will be filled.

We have engaged our Congressional rep.

lol.. They are probably spending time on facebook. Reading through this forum is part of work.

Anyways, since we have established in this thread, the biggest role in the interview process is played by Priority Date. For marriage based cases, it's the date when I-130 is sent. Assuming from your timeline, your PD is 2015-03-14, the latest person on family based case who got the appointment that I know of is suzannepecak, and her priority date is 2014-08-08. You have some waiting to do, unless they are done scheduling the ones with case complete and priority date earlier than yours.

I have PD of 1 Oct 14. Waiting....

Just called NVC - my case complete is July 20th

The rep said many conflicting things - I have my doubts for any of the following but it is what she said

- Scheduling looks to be complete for Sept (I don't have an interview date yet)

- They dont have the schedule yet for Montreal

- They schedule end of month

- They give us a month from schedule to interview to get medical done

Hopefully good news by end of the week and that it is an automatic email so I don't need to call and get differing answers.

I just called to try my luck. They said Montreal did start scheduling the September appointments, but she doesn't have any numbers on how many people are ahead of me.

My pri date is Oct 1, 2014 (cc 20 Jul 15) and I have not heard anything for interview schedule yet.

Lucky you! :-) You never see 3 N/As until your case is complete. I yearn for the day I see that 3rd N/A too!

So as soon as I posted this, we received checklist #2 for the I-864EZ Am pretty sure it's a false checklist (asking for IRS tax return that we sent in the first time).

What confuses me is one page of the email says to send the docs in to NVC (IRS tax info we sent originally) "your case is on hold until you send the docs we need", but the next page says to make sure the applicant has the docs for the interview and not send anything to NVC, wait for the interview date "do not send updated docs to NVC. After we schedule the interview, we will send you an appointment letter".

Am really hoping its the latter not the former. Any insights? Again, I have 3 N/As so I am thinking I just need to bring "missing docs" to the interview.

I see 3 N/As as of July 23 (scan date is June 23 for a checklist). Don't have the email from NVC yet, but I suppose that is CC?

Scan Date 13 May 15

Checklist 18 Jun 15

Anyone still waiting for NOA2 from this group. Feeling like i am the only one left ??

Still waiting here, too. And we are processing through Vermont, taking way longer than the 90 or so days average on the trend page...Oct 1 NOA1

Guess I am one of the 10 still waiting - NOA1 on 1 Oct. Hoping for news next week. My last name is towards the end of the alphabet. Does that have anything to do with things?
