Buffalo - 2nd AOR between 15th April to 15th May

[Hyfy]

Hello All,

Amazing thread.I am new here can someone please explain what AOR means to me?
I am sending in my application to Buffalo next week just my IELTS result delaying me.

Can someone be so kind to just give a list of documents they submitted to Buffalo please?

This is under the skilled worker category.

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...

Thanks Vermas.


Hyfy,
AOR is Acknowledgement of Receipt, this is usually in a form of email notifying you that Visa office has received your application and it is ready to begin the review process.

My friendly advice to you regarding the type of documents - follow the instruction from Visa Office specific. Start from there - It is very clear and I am sure everyone sent similar type of items and everyone is different - may have different or unique situation that is not applicaple to you and if you have any questions you can ask anyone or open a new forum.

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.

thank u room3. however, any idea on how I can do that?

guys look what i found:
C50 Initial Eligibility Determination: Review of the preliminary application received at CIO Sydney. A positive decision regarding eligibility for processing (Paper-screening decision “4”) results in the electronic transfer of the application to the responsible visa office abroad. The date of this decision constitutes the lock-in date for processing. Processing time service standards are calculated from this date.

The info on CIC website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/skilled-fed.asp states differently:

Visa Office Processing Times IN MONTHS (based on a complete application package)
BETWEEN November 28, 2008 and June 25, 2010 - Buffalo – United States 17

I sincerely hope that processing timelines commence from the date of transfer of file from CIO to VO.

Good luck to all..

Hi Pearl2010,
yes indeed, but you sent your full application about almost a month earlier to VO. I hope mine gets transferred too which seems quicker to be IN PROCESS.
Keep in touch and hope it will move faster.
