No AOR here yet. Nothing on e-cas. Starting to worry. :(

I still wonder why Buffalo is so damn slow compared to so many of the overseas offices. Makes no sense to me. :mad:

Congrats on your Initial Assessment! I'd like I say that I'm not a jealous wreck, but I totally am. ;) I wish I had a spot on the chart for Initial Assessment.

Congrats on your PPR etoile! That is excellent news! When are you/your partner landing? And what are you going to do to celebrate? :) That's the kind of news we love to hear about here.

Your initial assessment should be in the mail any time soon, quakingaspen! I live fairly close to Buffalo, and the letter is dated March 18, so it only took 5 working days to get here.

Okay, guys. Look over this spreadsheet and let me know if something is missing or needs updating. I just went through all the posts since last friday, so I *think* I have it all.

Welcome to the new people to the thread! I'm glad to have you join us. :) Congrats to those of you who have finally received your PPRs. Soo jealous. I've got my fingers crossed for those of us still waiting that next week will bring news.

I think that part of the problem for me is that I'm in Canada... I have seen a delay recently of 3 weeks for mail to get across the border. :-\ I think it's less now, but I wouldn't be surprised by a weeks delay.

I really am excited for you, though. That's about all the news we've had out of Buffalo this week, and it's good to know they're still in there working away! And grats on the no interview!

Been since March 7th since we've seen anyone going through Buffalo post about an "In Process" status...dang.
