Hi ronaldoyaronaldo,

Yes. I totally agree. We are luckier than lots of ppl in the forum. I believe it is just couple of weeks.

Yeah right, but I get off by always whining about something.

I emailed the Detroit office on Feb.12 and got this email back asking me to send my passport to Ottawa for visa issuing, I send the passport same day and Ottawa office received it on Feb.13..still waiting...

If you received a letter from the Case Processing Pilot Office in Ottawa (CPP-O) requesting you to forward your passport(s) to our office for issuance of your permanent residence visas we will keep accepting passports until Friday, February 15, 2013 only.
You were requested by our office in Ottawa in November 2012 to submit your passport to our office for visa issuance. To date we have not received your passport. Since you will not have time to submit your passport to our office before February 15th you may now want to forward your passport directly to our office at the Case processing Pilot Office in Ottawa. Please include a copy of this email exchange together with your passports.

I got a reply from CPP-O that they have a huge backlog of more than a month now. They have thousands of files to be printed a visa on.

Really?! Would you please quote their response here?

So that's how they took care of our application by end of February?! Some didn't get anything, some got required to submit a pointless get-busy background document, and those who actually got a PPR are put in yet another crowded printing queue?! WTF?!

You guys say we should be happy that we got "something" from Ottawa, but that's exactly how they get to put off more Buffalo applications. I'm not gonna stop pushing until I get that freaking visa in my hand.

I suggest we all keep emailing them, even though it may not accelerate the process, it might put more pressure on them.

That's odd!

CPP-O emailed me and indicated that my passport was received on February 15th and the visa should be issued within 2 weeks!

Come on you guys I am already excited and worried at the same time, can't handle more emotions

 

[ronaldoyaronaldo]

Just checked E-Case, status is "Decision Made"

I am very happy, very very happy
