Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

[beantown]

This is great, I'd been thinking about doing it myself for a while. It's nice to see and not check 4+ different threads.
Mine isn't quite right though. I got my transfer 8/12 - but not yet in process with Buffalo.

Mine's not right either. I was In Process 6/7/10 and received PPR 8/26.

i received my second FBI Request still debating whether to send it in without them requesting it....I also have my RPRF receipt i dont have to give it to Buffalo but might to speed it up... maybe theylll see the mail and actually look at my application

Looks great! Just a small addition to mine- the interview was waived.

My interview was waived August 12th, and we sent off the second FBI clearance letter today, overnight FedEx, with sticker attached to the FBI letter and the envelope it was sent in. Hopefully they won't loose this one, but I did get a backup copy too (dated Sept 30, 2010, so we have a little time before it expires). So they will get my FBI letter tomorrow afternoon. *crossesfingers*

I sent the RPRF without request. Wasn't speed anything. Just got a receipt with a notice they received it.
They do not need anything from my side as per their last letter and from 12 weeks I stand on the same spot...................and I just can't imagine what's going on.

3000 HSBC Center

In the letter that said they needed my medicals (which they showed done, just not in Buffalo), they stated they need my FBI clearance letter (which if you've been following Heather's and my posts, they said they had just three days before sending us a letter saying they needed it). So I sent my FBI letter off with a sticker on the FBI letter and on the envelope that I sent in the FedEx envelope. If they loose this one, they did it on purpose.

I swear, upon all that is holy, if they lose my FBI cert (assuming one day I will actually manage to successfully get one *chuckles*), I'll be the crazy woman hurling herself over the cliff.

Good news! We went to the border last Friday to see if I could renew my Visitor's Record and try to get my son another Student Visa (he's 8 and in Grade 4 this year). We had really messed up and after getting his Study Permit the first year in 2007, never went back. So he was in school two years without one. BIG NO NO, possible inadmissibility if they wanted to be harsh. Well, I went in expecting to have my butt handed to me but the IO was an absolute sweetheart. Asked me some questions, asked me about my son not having a study permit for two years. I answered honestly, the school didn't request another one after the first year, so we let it go. All was fine though, she issued him his Permit and gave me another YEAR on my VR!!! She said they were working on my file so she probably wouldn't see us back in there before we got PR. Wow, big weight lifted off our chest! Unfortunately, on the same trip we totalled our car. Things have to balance out I suppose lol The kids were in the car but they were fine, didn't even cry and my son was so jazzed. He was all excited to have been in a car crash...ugh. So yeah...balance. I'm choosing to focus on the AWESOME news and not the bad stuff hehe

Vervain--Great news about the visitor record, but how scary that must have been for you be in a car accident when you are PREGNANT!! I am so sorry to hear the bad news; I hope this doesn't put any kind of unworkable financial burden on you. Good news about the visitor records, but, geez, that was a very hard way to get good news!

Vervain, I'm so glad nobody was hurt! With all the trips we go on, it's easy to take for granted the fact that we arrive home safely. I'm grateful that you are all ok and that you got your visitor's status taken care of.

 

[wmaitner]

Well, Buffalo has my second FBI letter now. Signed off by H.CARLAND on Sep 2, 2010 9:42 AM. Now Buffalo, get off your collective arses and give me my damn visa!

I did have an ultrasound after the accident and baby was fine Cars are made of tofu these days. The impact was minimal but we were hit by an SUV and our car is a writeoff. We are down to no vehicle now but hubby's Dad is going to help out. I can't wait for PR so I can get a PT job and help out. I will still be a stay at home mommy for a few more years, but a little extra would be great!

Here is the spreadsheet to view everyone's time line for Buffalo... Please let me know of any changes ill update it for us if that's ok with everyone I think its easier to click the link than pasting the table in the forum it can get really confusing.

Wow, awesome! Thanks for doing this!
