Buffalo vs London office

[wsj78]

I'm really surprised to see that London is processing the applications much faster than Buffalo. From the messages I've read, "gerrybyrne" received visa within 6 months from London and "sharma77" received within few months also. Any thoughts?

Hi Bro
You are right
London office is faster then Buffalo office
I applied July 2008, file transferred on April 2009 to New York office
Medical,PCC with RPRF sent to Newyork office in July 2009
and since then waiting for PPR
I am so worried, almost 6 months

Most people in Buffalo receive their visa within 6 months as well.

I believe the Buffalo processing times are high because of the high amount of unusual nationalities that are processed through Buffalo.

Generally speaking, this observation seems to be right. The recent cases between the 2 suggests London is doing better.

However, I have also noticed that Singapore has been the fastest during 2009. Though the load between London, India & Singapore should be similar.

Just for your information i applied to CHC London in June 2008 and since my submission of Documents in March 2009 i am waiting for Medicals. You can imagine the process and my waiting time.

Hi

I believe the Buffalo processing times are high because of the high amount of unusual nationalities that are processed through Buffalo.

Actually because Buffalo gets most of the FSW2/3 applications as well FSW1, CEC applications and PNP applications.
