Thank you for posting on my behalf! No thunder stolen at all!
I just asked for next Thursday off from work so that I can drive my husband's passport down in person.
WOW!! Lys that is crazy fast!!! Did you get an email or a snail mail request? Curious if you have kids or is it just you applying to go. WOW! I hope I have your IO |

Vervain:
We received the Passport Request via e-mail this morning. I went into more detail over the last week on the Buffalo thread, but in summary:
-We have a very straight forward application (in my opinion at least)
-We are Canadian/American citizens
-Neither of us is naturalized (i.e. we were born in our respective countries)
-No prior marriages, both in mid-20s, Christian, Caucasian (I don not know if that makes any difference)
-No children
Our status changed from "In Process" to "Decision made" on e-Cas under the Permanent Residence category on August 16th.
They may have dispatched a letter. If they did, we have not yet received it. My husband (the applicant) only contacted Buffalo via e-mail last week to inquire as to what "decision" has been reached. I (the sponsor) had contacted them previously by e-mail on a different matter entirely. My understanding from the forum is that Buffalo will only contact you by e-mail if you have previously e-mailed them.
My husband e-mailed Buffalo again yesterday to inquire, noting we had not received a response to his e-mail nor a letter in the mail. They responded that they would not respond to his e-mail for 28 weeks if it was in "normal processing time".
Then, as you know, he received his PPR this morning.
Happy Days!
Feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I will try to help the best that I can.
-Lys

I wonder if sending Buffalo an e-mail about your application makes them really look at it and it somehow gets bumped to the top....that is so fast. Congrats! Wow....I hope my hubby gets his PPR that quickly, we have a very similar case as you.

I have mixed feelings about contacting them by e-mail. I think it is good for the applicant to contact them at least once, thereby giving them permission to respond to you in future by e-mail (instead of by post which seems horribly inefficient). I will say that I sent Buffalo an e-mail on August 4th and we received an AOR letter dated August 2nd two days later. As such, I do not think my contacting them expedited my AOR in anyway. -Lys |
