Congratulations jxyj01 !! FYI..... NY consulate does not accept in person submissions for permanent immigrant visas...... Your only choice is to mail documents.

Thanks... No change in ECAS status since last update of "Medicals Received" that happened in Dec 1st week. Keep checking your mail boxes like albertagovernor said..... I think floodgates of PPRs are going to open up in Jan 2011 - Virgos
