APPLICATION FILE TRANSFER: BERLIN TO ACCRA.

Dear all,

I have applied for PR since February 2007, at berlin office because i used to live in holland. After going through the process, up to submission of documents, which i did last week. I received a letter from CIC, berlin, that they cannot continue proceesing of my application as i am not a national of germany or netherlands, and i had not been admitted for at least a year before my application. It further stated that my application will be sent to accra office. Now, i am so devastated, as i do not know if accra office will just continue with the processing as i have submitted all my updated documents and also paid all government processing fees, or it will place it on a queue, again.

How long do you think the whole process will take, as i ought to have been finalised within the next 6 months, if it were to remain in the Berlin office.

Thanks for your anticipated answers.
