Okay, how is this for red-tape and double-talk:
Yesterday, we received the letter informing us that my husband had been approved as the sponsor. On page three of the letter, we were advised that our Original Medical Form was missing from my application, and in the next sentence were instructed: "To avoid further unnecessary delays, please forward all additional supporting documentation pertaining to the Application [...] to the visa office indicated above [Buffalo]."
So following the instructions in the letter to a T, I express-mailed the Original Medical Form to Buffalo yesterday, and also emailed and faxed Buffalo to inform them that it was on its way.
Today, I got a reply from Buffalo via email:
"Please allow at least 30 weeks between our receipt of an application and its return to you or our sending of the acknowledgment of receipt letter. Please wait until you hear from us with further instructions and do not contact our office or send in any further documentation during that period."
What?
Your other office just specifically instructed me to mail the form to you ASAP!
And.... 30 weeks? I shouldn't contact you for 30 weeks?
The letter I received yesterday specifically provided me with the Buffalo email, fax, and mailing addresses, instructing me to use them, "should need to contact the visa office or submit additional information."
Wow.
