I'm hesitant to call because I read somewhere in AINP website that calling and following up the application may cause delay in processing.. I guess I'll wait few more months.. I just hope that there's nothing wrong with my application. Thanks for responding to my question.

[AlbertaGovernor]

how are the people waiting for the nomination doing? where is the anoop, oilyalberta... etc etc. where did they dissapear?

i had said this before and repeat again. these all folks were applying for ainp srs-us category from their reddy guest house free internet access. now they got projects and are not bothered about the ainp processing.

who suffered?  serious folks who wanted to immigrate to Canada. floods of applications sent to AINP forced them to close the gates for IT folks. those who applied earlier got lucky. those who applied earlier and were not serious closed the doors for serious.

some reddy employees got their nomination by paying postage fees. when it comes to paying CIC fees and PCC they backed out.

remember my words right from day one. the reddy consulting are there to screw up everyone in some way or the other with these selfish attitude.

Waiting folks;

I have seen someone ask about request for documents on CIC forum. Any progress with people waiting for nomination?

good to hear AINP is making progress. toward the end of last year they sent out a bulk load of nominations. they have to show targets and acheivements for the year and these counts matter. hopefully you guys will see the same movement in the comming months.

My timeline:

Applied on 7/12/2010
Receipt of application: 10/22/2010
 
I am wondering why folks who mailed applications in 05/2009 and 07/2009 received the receipts after more than one year? I got it after 3.5 months... at the same day they got it. On the other hand Jennysec (see just 5 posts below) mailed application on 09/2009 and received alreday nomination on 08/2010. Why such a huge difference? Please advice.
My H1B is valid only one more year. Does it mean that with current processing time of "at least 24 months" I do not have a chance to get my nomination before my visa expire?

Thanks for help.

Cheers!
