HELLO GUYS,

WITH THE GRACE OF GOD YESTERDAY I RECEIVED AOR FROM BUFFALO VISA OFFICE. ;D

NOW MY QUESTIONS ARE

1) I HAVE NOT SUBMITTED MY FBI YET. SO, SHOULD I SUBMIT IT RIGHT NOW OF IT IS ADVISABLE THAT I WAIT FOR THEIR CALL? (I GOT FBI CLEARANCE AFTER SUBMITTING THE DOCUMENT. )

Yes submit it immediatly with an explanation letter, do not wait for their request as long as the documents are available with you.

2) CAN ANYBODY TELL ME, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO CHANGE STATUS FROM "RECEIVED BY VISA OFFICE" TO "IN PROCESS"?

THANKS

According to the new trend of Buffalo, you might see the change to "In Process" within 3 months.

Good luck

Cheers..

I think Category is important .. like in this case it is FSW1 4131...
My docs were received on 24 March but I have not get the AOR from visa office (buffalo) yet

 

[pooja123]

My full docs were received on March 24 but I have not get 2nd AOR...
Recently I moved to new address... I am waiting for second AOR, and then will change my address...
I am assuming that 2nd AOR would be sent by e-mail.... IS there any chance that they send second AOR by mail (instead of e-mail)??????
If there is even minor possibility then I will send address change request immediately...
pls. share you view....

My AOR from Buffalo came by mail, i didnt receive any email till today from them.

the mail they sent me has some barcodes with my reference on it and they mentioned in the letter to use these barcodes when passport is requested to send.

i read from the forum that many got by email, but not in my case i dont know why. but to be on the safe side send your address change request.

Hi bravoo,

Wish you the best of luck in your decision, here are my suggestions:

1- Do the PCMP digital fingerprint without their request, in my case i proceeded to the fingerprint on April 6 upon request from Buffalo by email( same day). It was done and sent electronically to the RCMP, then the RCMP has processed it only in one day April 7 and sent the results to Buffalo same day by mail (April 7), i knew about this information because i sent an email to the RCMP after one week and they replied back immediatly on my email the day after saying that they processed the fingerprint electronically and sent the results to Buffalo by mail on April 7.

Here is the address where i have done my digital fingerprint with no need to take an appointment: cost 45$:

Mississauga
5484 Tomken Rd
Unit #13
Mississauga, On
L4W 2Z6
(T) (905)625-0467
(F) (905)625-0467

Monday 9:00am - 3:00pm
Tuesday 9:00am - 7:00pm
Wednesday 9:00am - 7:00pm
Thursday 9:00am - 7:00pm
Friday 9:00am - 3:00pm
No Appointment Required Saturday 9:00am - 1:00pm

2- The second suggestion is: do your medicals without request from Buffalo before you go and pay them the right of permanent residence and send a proof that you have done your medicals to them in the same envelop along with the right of permanent residence so that you can be sure that they received your entire envelop containing (an explanation letter with the proof about the medicals) when you find out that they cashed the money order.


3- Do not forget to include your name, file number, date of birth, country of birth, application type, and visa office name when you submit the explanation letter along with the other above documents inside the envelop.


Have a safe flight to Dubai and wish you the best of luck.

Do not worry about address changes. As long as you have filed change of address with USPS, the mail will be forwarded to your correct address. I faced a similar situation, but the mail was correctly forwarded. But make sure you have requested USPS to forward mail to a new address.

Good to see some of the 2009 applicants making some headway here. I hope a few of us oldies get the PR so that others may see a ray of hope too. So far, I have yet to come across anyone who has gotten his/her PR (late 2008/early 2009 applicants). If there is anyone in this category who has gotten PR from Buffalo, do update this thread.

I see that a couple have had their medicals done and a few are in "In Process" category. Guess that is a good sign. At least Buffalo is moving, albeit slowly. Cheers.

I agree, and hope the best of luck for all applicants.

Indeed, professional. Though it beats me as to why some applicants get their medicals immediately after "In Process" while some get stuck in "In Process" for months altogether. *Sigh*
