Hi gang, I havent had much chance to follow much on here...work has been very busy...and thats a good thing...makes the wait much faster!

So there are a few more editors of the spreadsheet as I could not keep up: Indigo and kannadiga. Thanks for helping out!

First of all congrats to everyone, it is so nice to see everyone progressing well!

We have good news too, our status now went to IN PROCESS, we are quite excited.

And I can tell you that address disappearing DOES mean something. In our case our address disappeared twice. The first time, we got the AOR shortly after, and the second time, the status went the next day to IN PROCESS. It still has not reappeared.

Keep the faith up, things are moving even if you cant see much...and keep yourself busy...thats the best!

Cheers to all!

Thank you for encouragement! But I think the first people who already got or would get their PPRs are from:
1. Manila;
2. New Delhi;
3. London
....Other European cities...
Then maybe Buffalo at its 11-month wait time for second stage approvals.

its not really gonna take 11 months! its not Quince! sooo many people are getting approved way before that....and ur next! I am not really even sure how they get the 11 months...cuz they base it on a majority right? but the majority here isn't taking that long....maybe they say 11 months so that people dont harass them too soon

I hope as you said it would be less than 11 months. But I'm not sure how we can rely on this forum only because there are thousands of other applications that we don't know about. We can only assume on those who share here their stories with us that it would be less than 11 months.

For Buffalo 80% are completed within 11 months
70% within 9 months
50% within 6 months
30% within 5 months
and 20% within 4 months
I think it mostly depends on if they need additional documents or if they need to do additional background checks.

edit: just looked it up again and they changed it a bit for the last 12 months
