CEC-Buffalo VO-Applied on Oct 2011

[mari1981]

They updated the processing times today again. The processing time for CEC is increased from 14 months to 15 months!! This does not comply with what they said last week.
According to the news and also immigration website they want to make the process easier and faster for CEC!!!! So why they increased the processing time?!?!?!?!
