When did Ottawa reply to you and when did you email them? I emailed them last week and they did not reply to me!! Is your status App Received? Well, it has been in process for 3 weeks now! I think the reason they did not reply was my file might be with ottawa itself!

Seattle usually takes 2-3 months, so that might be some waiting time. Do you know when you got transferred? I think you can apply for GCMS Notes...
i put email to all vo offices ottawa, buffalo, la, seattle on may 29th. i got reply from ottawa on may 30th stating that my file is at seattle. even i put email to seattle after that i didnt get any reply from seattle. my application status is medicals have been received since oct 2011. what is GCMS notes. what is use with that?

GCMS Notes tells you the details of your file. When you know that your file is with seattle, atleast you know the location. If you knew when your file was transferred atleast you would have had an idea how much you needed to wait.

I dont know where my file is, I think GCMS Notes is the best way to go about it at this point. My file most probably is at Ottawa...

no, i haven't, i don't wanna bother them, especially when they say clearly on the website, do not email them to ask where our files are.

just be patient, if u really eager to know, i guess u could try GCMS notes, or just wait for 1 month, then i guess it wouldn't look too bad if we email them asking the status of our cases.

People are still getting PPR from Buffalo asking them to send their passports to Detroit so I am not really sure if my file still is in Buffalo or not!
