Thread for January 2011 Applicants

[sparkle]

This is so incredibly frustrating!! Why is Buffalo so slow in comparison?! My husband has included all of his FBI and medical information in our package. Hoping that we won't have to redo them.
Anybody have a timeline with how long it has taken for Buffalo from time it has arrived to begin process?

Good luck to everybody!

Hey ConfusedinCanada !

When did you submit your file ?? You can check the way Buffalo has been processing files at the link at my signature below.
However, they have slowed down drastically....I sent my file to Mississauga on Dec 23, file transfered to Buffalo on Jan 25, and since then...no word from them! So I can totally understand what frustration is

I really really hope they speed up now

[ConfusedinCanada]

Also Kaycee, can you add us to the trackign list as well?? Please and Thanks!

ConfusedinCanada, welcome to our January "waiting thread!!"  

[Tiggilicious]

[shandymoo]

[shykitten]

OMG PPR PRR PRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

CONGRATS SHANDYMOO!!! Im so happy for you ... 

Did you receive a letter or were you notified by ecas? Curious because i should be right behind you 

[shandymoo]

i got an email, nothing on ecas!

[shykitten]

That is so wonderful ...Crossing my fingers my husband will be getting an email or letter sometime this week ...again Congrats that is incredible news!!!

[meateater]

OMG PPR PRR PRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

CONGRATS

[AKGAZ]

OMG PPR PRR PRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Congratulations Shandymoo.....that is such fantastic news!  I do hope this means the log-jam in London is broken and that the rest of us London lot get moving too....I do not know whether they will restart processing mine when the info requested arrives (I scanned it by email and super-fast couriered it) or whether I have to wait for a bring forward date. 

Do let us know how you handle the PPR...mail, person etc.  So pleased for you!

I think it is going to be like chicks hatching at Easter...one starts and then they all do!

[shandymoo]

So so so happy  this awful process is now over! I don't care that i have to wait for my passport back just to know that i'm approved and that i did absolutely every single thing for this whole application myself and didn't use a lawyer or anything makes me feel so proud of myself!  I have a friend in london who i will send my passport to and she is going to drop it off and collect it for me 2 weeks later. 

Can't believe it!!! 

[shandymoo]

cant stop smiling just like Claudia!! (my avatar) LOL

Congrats shandymoo!!!!! Now you can enjoy our Canadian summer with our national bird, the mosquito!!  

[AKGAZ]

Shandymoo: "I have a friend in london who i will send my passport to and she is going to drop it off and collect it for me 2 weeks later."

In anticipation of when I get my PPR (!!) as I am in the US I will not be able to go in person either.  Is there a set out protocol?  What authority does your friend need to collect the "visa'd" passport?

PS. You mean that picture is not you?! lol
