Salam, Peace,
I believe you should call the office in Buffalo.
I sent thr application  CIO on April 2010 and got only a letter that they received my file, nothing else. I do not know why?
I am applying from USA too.
Best wishes!

Current processing times at Buffalo are 17 months from the date of the AOR. It can be a while before you receive a decision from them.

From what we see in this forum as well trackitt, I think it's so normal, don't overwhelm yourself, it's very likely for the journey to be lengthy.

Cheers!
