Hi Chigirl!!

WOW!!! thats great news & relief to me ;D
so, I will also get it soon. atleast with in a month....going by the medicals done...

How long did they give you to submitt your passports?
I think u might have a plan already to get your passports to Buffalo.
All the best & Good luck to you ;)
Thank you. I understand your concern.
They give me till May 1st to have my passport stamped.

Just a piece of warning, be prepared to send your pp ASAP, as they gave me less than the normal 60 days.

I am applying for a US visitor visa, if that doesn't work then the usual route.

You too will get it soon... Mail them stating you applied on so and so date, ask them whether they received medicals, and ask them status...
Once they confirm receipt of medicals, mail them every two weeks asking for status..

Thanks, Sinbad!
I did that last week and got the usual reply..."Your application is in process. We are unable to provide a date when the processing of your application will be complete."
I will mail them next week again...i am hopeful..I will get my ppr atleast within one month from now...
