Room3 and my applications are familiar timeline as yours, also almost 7 months since received 2nd AOR, we sent an email to ask current status of the application and both got "Your application is in process" answers, I think yours is the same, just we can not see it on CIC E-cas, I heard so many ppl even got their visa the E-cas still shows "received by visa office", so, dun worry, u will hear good news soon. ;D

Best wishes for us.
thanks loveson, that would be a great relief for us if we hear from VO SOON...and as we await the outcome of our application, I can only keep my fingers crossed till then haha... Best wishes for us.

I think you should sand a case specific inquiry to Buffalo VO because its look like they are not interested in changing the E-CAS status.

How do you know that buffalo received you aplicaiton on June 7. Did they send email on June 7. Is that not 2nd AOR?.

My application is still in RBVO only, waiting for a change in application status to "IN PROCESS". I believe that they are processing based on transfer date.

I don't think there is a fixed pattern. Compare my timelines with a few others posted above. Every case is different, every visa office and visa officer is different. Their advertised processing timelines are from the date they receive complete application.

Good luck to all...
