ONLY - Who submitted CIC-AINP(SRS-U.S. Visa Holder Category) application

[vbomb]

I'm so sick of this. I've been promised a fast track system under PNP of only 8 months when I applied in May 2010. The PNP people said that 8 months is actually on the longer end of applications! Most are finalized within 6 months. I guess the provincial and the federal governments don't talk to each other, I'm a single applicant and only lived in 2 countries!

I'm so tired of this because now I'm tied to my employer and can't move anywhere whereas people who applied for FSW at the same time as I did already got PPR!!!!! They don't need to be sponsored and stay with the same employer

So frustrated right now that I'm working so much here 10 hour days with no OT so I can get this done and do something of my caliber. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Sorry had to vent, I think I'll take a vacation or take a class or something to not think about this and maybe it will help but damn this is so frustrating

Chigirl answered this question in the previous page. The quote is below:

Change of address - Inform both AINP and CIC

You need to update both AINP and CIC
Fax No for AINP : (780)427-6560 along with your file number.


For CIC, Fax No: 716-858-9591
Email: buffalo-im-enquiry @ international.gc.ca
You should have received a change of address form along with your AOR. Use this form to fax or to send an email.
Send along with Name, Date of Birth and File Number.

Don't expect any acknowledgement from CIC.

Thanks a Lot AlbertaGovernor

Hi Alberta Governor,

Can you help me understand the AVR thing...this is my situation..

I went here in USA as a tourist and got an employer to petition me for a working visa. The visa sticker that was on my passport is the tourist only. I have the the I-797A Notice of action for my H1-B Visa.
1. Am i qualified for AVR?
2. What I-94 will i show them, is that the one below the I-797A form that i can tear to staple to the original I-94 i have when i arrived here in the USA?
3. Do i need to get a letter From International Services officer?

because i got confused with statement below, can you explain the sentences that i changed the color to red

2. If you have changed status while in the U.S., and you have a visa sticker that matches your old status (either expired or unexpired), that visa sticker is considered to be automatically changed to a stamp matching the new status and revalidated to a current date for your return to the U.S. even though it is not the same as your current status and has, perhaps, expired.Individuals seeking to benefit from this provision must retain their I-94 when leaving the U.S. as it is essential for re-entry. In addition, all other travel documents relevant to the particular status (passport, DS-2019 for J-1s, I-797 for H-1Bs etc.) must be carried and properly endorsed. When requesting a travel letter from the International Services Office, please state that you will be using the AVR program so your letter may reflect this.

Thank you very much and looking forward to your reply....

Nothing so far bro.I have even checked the application status page online and it has not changed .Not even a file transfer.

I have also not been active just due to the sluggish pace at which things are moving. Unfortunately looks like my original estimate might come true. May CIC applicants will probably see a file transfer to LA/Detroit by 1st or 2nd week of March...probably not to New york since Newyork also has slowed down considerably.Also my case has an additional twist , had not submitted FBI with the app.Later on got the FBI certs in June and with the additional delay had again requested fresh FBI certificates and received them in Dec 2010. Now am worried if the process stretches till March/April if they might not consider both FBI certs....and I will be looking at a very tiny window of getting the FBI certs,mailing them before the validity of the medicals runs out.

All this even without background checks figuring into the discussion .

Hard to be patient...but looks like the only option.

Jennysec, I think you should send CIC and email and ask them that question. That would be the best approach, rather than just going with what anyone tells you on this forum.

Take care and I wish you all the best.

There could be two situations about your case.

1. Your employer disclosed to USCIS at time of H1B application that you are currently in the US and submitted a copy of your I94 that was given at time of entry to the US. In that case your I-797 notice issued with the new I-94 implies your status was changed from tourist to H1B. In that case you are okay to enter the US using a AVR anytime before the I-94 from the I-797 notice expires.


2. If your employer did not submit a copy of your vistor I-94 and failed to disclose your vistor status in the US at time of application of H1B, you are techincally out of status in the US and can get into trouble while trying to back to the US using a AVR. In that case you need to consult a immigration lawyer.

Based on the situation you can take your call. If situation 1 is how your H1B was issues, you are okay to use AVR, you need to present the I-94 issued with the I797. Please explain what letter you could get from Intl. Service Officer.

lights, agree with lettuce,

thats what I did, sent my FBI the day it came, stuck the barcode on it and submitted so that its fresh (coz it took me 3 tries to get the FBI, cannot get into the vicious cycle of applying for FBI again).

If you have fresh FBI results, dont wait till the file xfers. Please go ahead and send it out to Buffalo immediately.
