how long have you been together = your whole relationship 

then they will ask how long have you been married. 

they might not even ask you this it all depends, everyone gets different questions 

Hi 

yes of course. My husband did the interview and they asked him ....

how long have we been together

has he traveled outside of canada,if yes where

they asked him where I work and what my position was. 

Hi Everyone, 

just sending an update 

PD May 19th 2016

Case Compete Dec 2017

Interview scheduled for  Oct 16th 2018 Montreal Canada

Interview went great and was approved!! 

thank you all .. this forum really helped through this wait! 

Good luck everyone! 

@Michael2017Hi Michael, not sure if you can help with this question but I see that you help alot of others. 

I am waiting for an interview to be scheduled for Montreal, My pd is may 19 and case complete was dec5.

Do you have any idea why it is so late? do you know if this has ever happened before where an embassy does not schedule our category for months? I am getting worried and the wait is getting very long so im trying to find some peace of mind i guess. the last interview that I saw through these forums that was given was for end of april/Early May right before our date then it stopped. 

thank you in advance for you help

yes thats right ..the only thing i do not understand is when we look at the history of processed they pass up to 90 ir1 and cr1 a month and f2a gets no more than 9 a month plus the last 3 moths there have been 0 for f2a. ( unless i looked at it wrong) 

@CanadianinUSA PArt of the reason for the backlog from what i was told is because Montreal is the only embassy left in Canada. They closed down the one in Vancouver

@CanadianinUSA i agree the two years is already long so this part is hard to handle. i know we need to have patience but it feels like forever! its sad really.

@CanadianinUSA i am one of those people my pd is may 19 2016 , its been current since may 1 2018 and stil no interview for mtl .

case completed in Dec

I am pd may 19 2016 and still waiting for montreal interview date to be scheduled. Case completed in dec. 

@Kiki Kat yes ot does help alot when there are others in the same situation! We are about 5-6 in this group waiting for mtl with a may PD so lets all keep eachother posted! Good luck !!! 

Hi @Kiki Kat i am pd may 19 in mtl. We cannot change embassy because this is the only one left in canada. Montreal is backlogged they have not assigned any interviews for f2a since we became current. Hopefully next week we will get some news as they will be scheduling again. 

They usually scheduled the last week of the month.  When i check ceac i see “at nvc” . 

Hope this helps 

i agree and im sure it will be 0 for July as well because i did not hear of anyone getting an interview letter. hopefully we get news soon, this is has already been a long process so its even harder now that we have to wait more once we are already current. 

what is your pd?

I don't think they are done for the yearbut that is an assumption.

Out of curiosity when does the new fiscal year begin for the embassy? is it October?

thank you @Triple28 I checked and may and June had 0

Hey, do you think we might have a chance at the end of August since there was no movement in the visa bulletin? I figured it would give them time to catch up..

Hi Tash, I'm with Montreal as well and behind you. Looks like they haven't done May yet, such a backlog. In your (or someone else) another post, you mentioned that March PD was fine in Montreal. So from Mach to August, they haven't finished PD that between March and May??

Montreal ever ranked the most corrupt city in Canada, there is atmosphere that agents don't do what they should do...

I don't see calling NVC is useful in this case, NVC may already sent IL to Montreal, but it maybe stuck in Montreal. Should we contact Montreal embassy directly?

@f2a_ca From what i understood the person i spoke to became current when the April Visa bulletin came out. So from that information that means that it started to backlog once May bulletin came out ( which is when i became current) I wonder how long this backlog will last...do you know of anyone that has experienced this and how much longer it took to get Interview date?

@ormont @michael2017

Hi I just wanted to let you know that i am in somewhat the same situation as for Backlog while waiting for my Interview. 

My PD is May 2016 and my date has been CURRENT since May 2018 and case is COMPLETE as of Dec 2017. i still have not received an interview letter and i was told that Montreal ( where the interview will be help) in backlogged. 

Just wanted you to know you are not alone. 

good luck and i hope you get it soon.

Good morning, I spoke to someone yesterday that already did their interview in MTL for F2A category. Looking at their info looks like the backlog started once May visa bulletin came out because they got theirs in proper time. Hopefully this means that once it clears up we will get ours since we should be next in line 

here is their timeline...

they received  interview letter March 19, 2018. Interview date was April 24.  Priority date was March 31, 2016. 

thank you so much for the info @jonelo311 I have called but they say that montreal is backed up. its been a long wait but im very excited for it to be all done  thanks again for answering my questions i really appreciate it. Congrats again

@jonelo311 thats great congrats, il is interview letter. If yo dont mind me asking what was your PD and when was your interview date? 

My pd is May 19 2016 and i am still waiting for montreal to schedule the interview . 

Hi @jonelo311  did you receive your IL to pass interview in montreal? 

@L&G3112I really hope so im getting discouraged for how long it is taking for MTL to process. 

@triple28 I do call but when i do they  say that there is no interview for the case yet. 

@ruban

@L&G3112
