Buffalo VO Applicants Who Got Their Medicals Done From March 2011 Onwards

[danhass]

lol yea ... seems like its only both of us waiting on PPR from Buffalo VO .... Btw has ur address on E:cas

re-appeared yet or is it still missing ? I checked mine a lil while ago & its still missing without any update.

same here ... missing and without any update

 

[danhass]

i got an interesting piece of info from this forum lately ...

if our security checks are taking longer than usual we can contact CSIS directly (through fax) instead of a case-specific enquiry or CAIPS

CSIS would give one of 3 standard replies:

1- your case was never recieved by CSIS
2- your case is pending ... cannot say how long it'll take
3- your case cleared the checks and we have reported back to CIC

the reply is however by mail and takes minimum 30 days ...

(NOTE: if it's the first reply that means our case was never forwarded to CSIS but it might've been forwarded to other offices like CSBA, Interpol, FBI, etc, etc, etc ... but my guess is that for standard cases the main bottleneck is CSIS and within that the main bottleneck is our home country if it processes cases very slowly)

@ X-Brklynite

Congrats!!!!!!

@ Danhass,
I asked my lawyer if i could pay RPRF in advance so he said i sure can so i went ahead & paid

it in the 3rd week of August.

@Zulkfal & metea,
Thanks ...I have a question for both of ya if u kindly can reply me on that.The question

is "Does the 2 Pictures that are asked to submit with my Passport have to have a Printed date on the

back of them as it is mentioned on CIC website to ensure that they ain't over a year old or is it just a

formality?

Any idea?

If i get the reply within 24 hours it'll be awesome coz im going to take pictures tomorrow & I

won't have to call my lawyer tomorrow to ask about it.I'll highly appreciate it.

Hi X-Brklynite,

Yes, photos must have a printed date in the back, it is very important for them.
I have also noted my eye color and height just under the stamp from the place where i did my photos.

Good luck and all the best!!!

Cheers,

Metea

Guys this "printed" date thing is what? can I just write the date behind the photo or does it have to be printed by the photography equipment?

can I get this printing done through wal-mart photo printing service? cz what I used to do is take my picture with my digital camera, do some processing, and have it printed by Wal-mart

Hello Seniors,

I am July 2011 - Buffalo applicant. I got my PER from CIO on 21/9/2011.
Can you please help in understanding Buffalo applicants time line to plan my PCC

1. I noticed all 1122 - Buffalo applicants (Post 7/26/10) took 5 months time from "PER-CIO" to "Medicals, PCC, RPRF request date" - is that correct?

2. Is Buffalo VO issues "Medicals, PCC, RPRF request" directly without 2nd AOR (RBVO)??

I have seen on this forum that it is better to send the passport via FedEx, do we also send a prepaid envelop for the return and how is it done? What do I request for exactly once at the FedEx office? Please help!

 

[X-Brklynite]

@ Meta Thanks so much for ur quick reply.

@ Danhass,
On CIC website it is said to submitt the pictures which ain't over a year old & thats why they

require pictures which have printed date on the back of them. I go to either CVS or Walgreens for the pics

whenever i need them.

@ pr_moon_moon,
One can't get Medical Request , RPRF or PPR without 2nd AOR & i don't have any idea

about the duration of post june 26 applicants since im pre june applicant but u can get a clear picture by

looking @ the timelines of most post june applicants & that will give u a better idea.

@ neolisa,
Yeah its better to send PP through FedEx with Prepaid Express Flat Rate USPS envelope & u

don't have to request anything for that ,Just go to the FedEx office & mail it along with ur PP ,pics &

USPS Prepaid Express envelop. Btw have u recieved PPR?

 

[danhass]

@ X-Brklynite ... thanks for the reply ... I guess I'll do the same this time when I get PPR (still waiting)

@ noelisa ... I read your posts on other threads that you got PPR on Sep 22, congratulations


So now all the people involved in this thread have received PPR except me ... ... I hope I get it soon ... Today it's exactly 4 months since I did my medicals
