I guess this is something we should read.

It is quite long.  But  it may explain something about our delay.  
What I could not get  is how Buffalo pretends  to be the Fastest Visa office  of all !   This sis ridiculous !
Wow !! ... They cannot solve this misery and they are congratulating themselves about their supposedly speedy system ??

Have a nice day & keep

At least 5 folks received this morning an email from Buffalo : Files transfered to detroit, Los angeles 
Timeline AOR: bigging of march and IA the end of february...
Folks check your e-mail.....

Congrats ae03yy! Praise God, things seem to be moving! Though it is sad that your friend won't be able to collect your visa,hopefully things will move faster in Seattle for you than they did at Buffalo. Hang in there friend! The light at the end of the tunnel gets brighter with everyday that passes

Folks
reading the stat of those you got their files transfer on september 2010, 90% of them received visa on June 2011  . Some of them who's files were transfered to New-york on september 2010 are still waiting for Visa. I really don't know if tranfer a file from buffalo is a good idea or not.
I hope that my file will not be transfered from buffalo. I would rather have buffalo finish the treatment of my file. 
But since we don't have to choose, wait and see folks..

PS: my fiance who had started the federal process for FSW on March received you Visa Last monday ( she sent her application to Ottawa seydney. each of us apply seperatly )
I hope that buffalo will speed up with my file
Go buffalo

Stay Bless

[ae03yy]

tthanks a lot friends... I emailed my friend and luckily she knows s.o in Seattle. Now, i need to know:
1) What is Seattle asking for in their PPR aside from ppt? Also, 2) can we walk-in and when to do so? Is there a link to get that info or do they mention it in the mail? i tried searching online but can't get it. So, if anyone got an answer plz post!!

[ae03yy]

thanks match, that's a news I like.

Hey ae03yy!!!

congradulation!!! I have had several friends who applied in QSW category from Montreal and their file was transfered to seattle recently. I can say all of them (100%) got their PPR within 2-3 weeks. However, if you send your PP with post it might take another 4 weeks before you get it in hand. So, my suggestion is to ask some body to walk-in on your behalf. I called them (my friends) yesterday to see what is the walk-in schedule of consulate, but they had no idea! They all sent their PP by post.

You remember they told me that my application is in queue for review? no changes yet I hope I can get some news soon. Do you think it is a good idea to ask them again about the status of my application at this point or should I just wait?

Just let us know if you get some news

Chears,
Hadal

That's is a good new, congratulation ae03yy!

[fallsage]

Congratulation ae03yy!
Less than one month to go!!!

Good to know hadal: i'm glad to know i'm not the only pers. transferred to seattle. Now knowing they might finish my case in few weeks I'll get everything ready then. I think I must provide the letter/ePPR, passport, height, eye color, weight... IS THAT IT? Should I have a picture too? I don't know what they require so can you ask your friend, plzzz and what's the specification.

I could find on trackitt that in the e-PPR CEC applicants received instructions about the mailing or pick-up.

Could I ask my best-friend's friend in Seattle to try going on my behalf and explain my US visa is in my lost PPT? I can't get a visa now because I don't have WP, just implied status. I want to land on Aug 23 as a souvenir from my first arrival to Canada. So, everyone can you plz advice me here: if it was you would you try that?
