I hope you are right but I am EB-2 and from August 1st, my priority date is no longer current and according to the rules your interview cannot be scheduled if your priority date is not current. Maybe they are not as strict on that in reality..
 
Either way, fingers crossed for end of next week. It does seem like they do the EB scheduling at the end of the month based on the last ones they scheduled so maybe I just missed the cut for last month and will make this month! We will find out!

I will wait until October if I have to but the not knowing and waiting is more difficult than you make it sound, given my current work and living situation. Ultimately you are right in that there is nothing we can do and just have to expect the worst, but it is tricky. My company will not be happy if I tell them I wont be able to move down until after October but I guess I just wont tell them anything for now.

100% Agree.

I got a reply from Montreal consulate today basically telling me to wait for NVC to schedule my interview as they don't have my record yet . For someone with a spousal green card app, emailing Montreal had worked so I was hopeful.
 
What is most frustrating is not knowing when the interview will be, even if they could say that it won't be until October, at least then I could plan accordingly.
 
What seems odd is that nobody here on VJ, EB-1, EB-2 or EB-3 has had an interview scheduled for some time. It is a small sample set but it just seems like the NVC has not scheduled any EB interviews for any country. My CC was June 13th and I haven't heard of a single EB interview scheduled since then.

Yep. Email came for me exactly 7 days after my the actual CC. No other way for us to know other than to call.

I hope so. Technically they do not schedule interviews if PD is not current but hopefully we have already passed that point. I am waiting 5 weeks now for interview!

No interview date for me yet - Canada, CC June 13th, EB-2. Called NVC Friday evening, still nothing.
 
Have emailed the Montreal consulate since that worked for someone with a family based green card. Will see what they say.

I don't think there is much evidence yet to suggest that EB(Employment Based) Green Cards are scheduled any later than marriage based ones(and if they are it seems to be at most a couple of weeks longer) and certainly no evidence to suggest that EB-1s are scheduled ahead of EB-2s etc.
 
Pretty sure EB-3 only means 3rd preference within the employment based categories. I don't think it means it is a third preference compared to marriage based or other Green Cards as someone else suggested but I could be wrong.
 
I am currently waiting 3 weeks and 2 days for an interview in Canada for my EB-2 application. That said I have not seen anyone get an interview for Canada in the past 3 weeks.

(second) Scan Date: April 11th
Case Complete: June 13th
 
Yay - such a relief! I first sent my documents to NVC in early January so it has been a tough 5.5 months but finally just got off the phone with a case complete.
 
For those with Employment Based Green Card applications, like mine, there is no way to tell online if your case is complete. It has said "At NVC" since January and has not changed since I got my case complete today. This is different to what people are reporting for the marriage based green cards.

Been waiting since
Just in terms of the checklist I received - proof of my visa status in Canada - basically I think the rule is, if you are not a citizen of the country in which you are applying to complete consular processing, then you need to provide proof of your eligibility to live in that country and such proof needs to have at least 6 months left before expiry.
 
As I am an Irish citizen living in Canada, I got the checklist for not providing proof of my Canadian visa status. I did not think my status in Canada would be of relevance to the US authorities but I guess it makes sense that they don't want people applying for consular processing in countries where they are not a citizen or where they are not living legally.

Sorry to hear this. It really does suck. I am also in Canada (although on a working visa) and, as mentioned, I didn't send in proof of residence because it was never listed as a requirement. It is very unfair to have to wait another 8-11 weeks because they didn't bother to list something as required but I got nowhere talking to them otp

BTW, I have seen this a few times and not said anything but I should say that the above is likely only true for marriage based cases(I know by far the majority of cases here). I am being processed for an Employment Based green card and am waiting for case complete after 1 checklist already and my file has always said "At NVC", since I paid my fees in January. Once I get a CC, I will advise what a CC looks like for Employment Based Green cards.
