cic normally chooses to process the application based on the applicant's CITIZENSHIP, not necessarily where they are holding residence. if you don't have current residence in the us (since you say you are in canada since august), then you can't expect your application to be processed as if you are a us resident. Do you have a green card, a current work visa for the US? if you were living there for 3 years and left, CIC's assumption is probably that you don't have curent status in the US, so that is why CIC decided to process your application based on your citizenship. Your citizenship is cuban, so that is where your application is meant to be processed. it is easier for CIC to process the application where the person is from because it requires CIC to receive information from your country of citizenship throughout the process. Generally, it's easier for the visa office in that country to get information than it is for a visa office outside the country of citizenship. CIC has the final say, so that's all there really is to it. Also, stats on this forum suggest that US residents don't necessarily see the same processing time as US citizens. again, if your application was sent to OTtawa based on US residency, how quickly it processes would depend on how quickly they would be able to verify checks made to/from cuba.lokyy said:
then yes, if that's the case, i would recommend contacting cic and requesting a transfer. i'm not sure how well that will go over at the cuban office though. at this point, it may be a good idea to get the sponsor's mp involved. they may have an easier time with the "politics" of it all. also, CIC must respond to MP requests. they don't have to respond to yours. Also, find the Havana thread. it's pretty active, and people there may be able to guide you about whether this is "normal". you may find a majority of applicants are waived the interview.lokyy said:
you are not going to wait 29 months. go to the london thread and ask to add yourself to the spreadsheet. you will see most people are approved in probably 10ish months.Aliasghary said:What is next after sa ?
