    Hi everyone. Sorry I have been so quiet for months and months now. First of all the great news... WE RECEIVED OUR READY FOR VISA LETTER YESTERDAY!! Because of the transfer of the paperwork, now I have to land in Detroit, but hey that works for me. When they first transferred our paperwork from...

    That is terrible, Romain. I really hope you hear from them soon. I know they have a tough job and are working through a lot of paperwork, but I hope they also realize that these are people's lives with which they are dealing. It's so frustrating when they don't communicate.

    File transfer from Buffalo to a satellite office (NYC, Seattle, LA, Detroit)

    TheHal - I'm sorry that it's taking so long. Hopefully they speed up. If you don't mind I have a question: how long did it take for your file to officially arrive at Detroit from Buffalo? Buffalo sent me the transfer email exactly a month ago today, but as of yesterday afternoon Detroit still...

    Romain - I'm so sorry to hear that NYC is unresponsive thus far. Perhaps they are waiting until your information is on their database before saying anything. Amen @couple of weeks earlier! Wish I could have gotten that crystal ball to work then ;-)

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Thanks Romain! I only used the FXXX initially but then included the BXXX in my subsequent reply to explain the transfer. They have already replied again to say that the file is not in their database yet and to email them again in a week. I will put off freaking out until then.

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Question for the folks who have had their applications transferred from Buffalo to elsewhere: How long did it take for the other office to received your file? I emailed Detroit yesterday to inform them of an address change (per Buffalo's instructions not to use eCas). Detroit replied that our...

    Now I'm worried. I emailed Detroit to let them know about hubby's new address. The instructions from the Buffalo "we've transferred your file" email said not to use eCas for it due to the transfer. Detroit replied that they do not have our paperwork :(

    Sorry, I missed this @ritchierd. I received an email. The status on Ecas is still the same as always...Buffalo received our package on January 19. Boo.

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    @ Rinnerz - that doesn't inspire much confidence. I'm from the December group, and my application has been transferred to Detroit as of today. Let's hope both offices get their stuff together, right?

    Congratulations to all the recent PPR receivers! How exciting!! @Romain - the same thing just happened to me :( They sent me to Detroit. The email told me I can't contact them for status updates for 90 days from the date of the email. Boo, frustrated and worried now :( :(

    Woo hoo! I, too, can log into eCAS as of this morning. Mine does not say In Process yet, just that they received my application as of Jan 19, but progress is progress. Now hubby is impatiently on the lookout for a letter. @Fleeting I am totally with you on the not being able to work front. It...

    Hi everyone! I received the AOR via email today. Our status in e-cas still hasn't changed, but I trust that will happen soon. Buffalo seems to be working quickly once they hit a group of applications. Congratulations to all of the PPR and Landed folks! How exciting!!

    I think we need a thread for pleasant border encounters

    Picture it...Christmas 2005...Rainbow Bridge... I was driving to Toronto from Ohio, where I was attending grad school, to visit my then-fiance and his family for Christmas. It was getting late at night, and with so little traffic at the bridge at that moment, the agent and I got to chatting...

    Oh! It's both so disappointing but also relieving to see that we are not the only ones to receive no word from Buffalo. I haven't been able to check our status since late January because... I'm in Toronto! We moved me back across in the last weekend in Jan and requested a visitor record at the...

    This is hard enough without other people messing up on you, right? I called the doctor's office back, and they said they forgot to put the picture on my form. After a sidetrip to get yet another set of passport photos, I went to the FedEx and overnighted the form plus a cover letter. Yay! Please...

    Thread for December 2010 Applicants

    @pinklady Thanks for the clarification. We need to send the green form to Buffalo then to catch up with the rest of the package. If the form does not have a photo on it, I'm assuming I need to send one in myself...? There's a piece of sticky paper on it that I figured they were going to use to...

    Just got back from the physical. Doctor told me he'd be sending the results to Ottawa by the end of the week barring any issues. However hubby told me that the letter he received stated I was supposed to send it myself...possibly? He has been really busy the past couple of weeks with his job, so...
