Hi everyone,I have been reading every post on this forum since April 2011(my only regret is that I didnot know of it's existence while I was preparing my paperwork) and have benefited immensely from the posts of all members.I thank you for generously sharing your time,experiences and opinions-indeed your contributions have enlightened my journey,kept me informed and most important -given me hope that all would work out eventually.This is my timeline-

1) I do want to add that IMO address disappearance does indicate that one's file is being worked on and is sometimes followed by changes in the ECAS(when no changes are reflected in ECAS, it probably indicates that an officer is working on your file).
2) Also when I submitted my FBI certficates they had exceeded the three month validity by around a month and a half,and the local PCCs by two and a half months-but they were accepted anyway,as I didnot get a request for fresh ones.
3) Since my husband travels abroad extensively for his work(evident in his passport) I sent a very humble request-" IF POSSIBLE an expedited return of the PPs." In this regard I got a call on Dec. 29th from NDVO-wherein a VO acknowledged receipt of the request,told me that " they were ready to issue the visa,but was it OK if they took another 7days or maximmum 10days?" I said it was perfectly alright.They did take another month thereoff but the call set my mind at ease. So my humble advice is,if one has a genuine problem/request it really does not hurt to voice it.
I once again thank all forum members for your contributions-you indeed made my journey easier.Congratulations to all who have made progress and more important God Speed to all those awaiting a positive end to this journey.
