Default Time between packet 4 and Montreal interview?

My fiance is waiting until she has my I134 in her hands to send in
packet 4 (the checklist). I'll probably have it to her in a week or two,
but I'm wondering how long after Montreal receives the packet 4 will she
have to wait for the interview?

I'm estimating that she'll send in P4 around end of April, but our
wedding is July 10th and we are plannin on leaving Canada on the 3rd. It
seems that we have plenty of time but I'm still a little worried!

Thanks,
Osman

For me, it was about 6 weeks between sending back the checklist and my interview in Montreal. Mind you, that was 6 years ago and the world was a much simpler place then. I'm not sure that timeline is currently feasible. Good luck, though.

Well I was searching the history of the NG on Google and yours
definitely seems to have been a longer wait...even 1-2 years ago people
were waiting only 2-4 weeks for their interviews...so I'm still
optimistic!

Anyone else have any input?

Thanks,
Osman

Why not give the embassy a call and ask them what they think. I rang the US embassy in Suisse recently and they were very helpful in estimating times for me.

Thanks, I've been meaning to do that but I haven't had time! I thought I
would ask here as well just to get some firsthand accounts as well.

There are a few people on the Visajourney.com site that are having their interviews in Montreal. Most of them received dates about 4-6 weeks from sending in the checklist.

It took my husband about 4 weeks from sending it in until his interview. That was around April/May of 2003.
