Today I have received an email from Sydney office recommending my file for further processing to New Delhi visa office. The email is dated 22/06/2009, I have 120 days from this date to submit my file. Fingers crossed and hurrying to collect police certificates and some other documents before the full application goes to New Delhi. Thank you.
 
Applied on May 1 and got an email June 19 applied to Buffalo. I read somewhere on the forum that Buffalo is the quickest in processing applications.

Unfortunatly, i do not see that through the information stated at their website : it says that they take up to 20 weeks (5 months) just to send you AOR with your new file number !!!!!!!!!!, it appears that Buffalo is doing worst than other visa offices in respect to processing time under the new rules.

This is the link to see their processing time , (Date Modified: 2009-06-10 ) :

One option would be to state in your cover letter addressed to your visa office which you can send with full application package that CIO got your postal code wrong.

You may or may not want to notify Sydney CIO about the wrong postal code and tell them that you corrected this when you submitted your applic to your visa office.
 
If you got copy of transcript...ask some of ur friend to go to university and ask him to it sealed..or if you have photocopy you can send notorized copy too its not an issue..

tell me in which state u r? how did u get state police and FBI police clearence.? and how long it took you to get it? secondly how about police clearance from india? third..i need only 6 marks in language...is it ok to skip ILETS..as i got master's degee in US..i worked here 1 year as TA and working as a programmer for last 6 months..

just take a copy of your certified check or any thing related contains the check information to the issuing bank and tell the teller that you want to track your check to know whether it has been encashed by the beneficiary or not yet, they will check in their system and tell you if it is encashed or still outstanding.
 
I have sent my application on 25th May 09 and CIO received it on 29th May 09. It was delivered on front desk/Receptionist. Source of delivery, Fedex.

Now waiting for go ahead.

Anyone with same set of information that where was it delivered?
 
Hello chsurti
Thanks for the response, yes I am thinking of using notarized copies of my transcripts. Unfortunately there is no one in Pune who can help me on this.

Abt PCC -
It took 2weeks to get from FBI, 3 days from current State(Oregon), 1 week from NH, just sent to NJ(should be getting by 10th july, I have written a letter to them and mentioned the reason and date by which I need), 2 weeks from IL.

For India , I got it from my local verification cell (DCP/CBI office), I did not apply from Indian consulate (i heard it takes @ 45 days and you have to send your passport, in my case SFO is the Indian consulate).

For your IELTS, I would say don;t take chance, you will not like to see any issues just becoz of not giving this exam. YOu can not sure how the IO/VO will look at your english language capabilities without IELTS. I have my IELTS exam tomorrow.

Good Luck,
 
Anybody sent application to Sydney after 15th May 09 and received AOR/Letter/Email ?

kindly update
