Delay in processing - Is it normal @ Seattle CIC, USA

[canada via USA]

Frens,
I am a frequent visitor at this site but posting my case and concern first time -

I applied for PR (FSW Cat-1, NOC 0213) from USA Buffalo in May 2009. But till now haven't heard anything from CIC.

Is it normal?

AOR from Buffalo May 2009
All the docs submitted to buffalo May 2009

Buffalo transfer file to Seattle CIC in 3rd week of April 2010

Seattle moved my file to In Process status last week of July 2010

Sent case specific enquiry and email to Seattle CIC, no valuable feedback rather a standard template

Any thoughts/advice, are they really working on our files are just holding back for the reasons which is not known to common man like us ?

Buffalo is quoting 17 months for processing (from the date of the AOR), so its not unusual that you have not received a decision yet. If you are concerned about your file, you can order CAIPS notes.

Hi Canada via USA,
                         I have the same situation like you. I sent my  full documents to visa Office and it was also moved to in process in June 2010 and till date i have not heard anything from  the visa office.

When they issued my 2nd AOR they said it will take 18 months to be processed, and i have asked from others and they said 18 months count is when the second AOR was sent from Visa office, so my 18 months will be end of  February  so i am waiting anxiously. I have also ordered Caips waiting to see what is  the problem.

They are delaying  the process , so we just have to w ait  and see what they will say.

Thanks and waiting to read from you.

canadaforall - Do share your CAIPS notes deatils once you have it with you.

I am not sure if ordering CAIPS will provide any valuable information since our case lying IN PROCESS for 6 months and they have not asked any other docs or have not done any communication, it means VO/IO have just moved file to IN PROCESS status and technically no one is working on our file. And may be they have put some BFD's which is not known to us...

-good luck

Yes i  will  do so once i have it with me. Yes i wanted to check if there is any BFDs date and if i have made the 67 points. sure all that will  show on the Caips Notes.

still waiting for the caips.

Do you mean that someone has passed 67 mark if she or he is asked for any additional documents ?

Please share your thoughts on this.

Dear friends
I am from Nepal. I had submitted my medical reports including my original passport  to New Delhi High Commission, India on 12th November and got a receipt on 21 November. My wife had a little calcification on her chest. After that, High Commission neither has sent any further medications nor issued the visa. Is this a common case or is there any probability that my visa will be rejected on the basis of her calcification?

Help me.
