no, the guys who applied between feb 28 and Nov 2008 are the fastest if you start counting only from the time they could have started processing these apps (dec 2008). Thats why some of them have medical request already. None of the post dec applicants have medical request from Buffalo (according to trackitt).
If you count including the date from when the person applied to dec 2008, we can't blame CIC for not processing during that time, because it was made clear to the applicant that no processing will be done during that period. If you count it this way, then Nov 2008 are the luckiest because they don't have to wait for 10 months like Mar 2008 applicants did, just to wait for the new rules and start processing.
I think we are unlucky because there were lots of qualified applicants applying to buffulo between feb and dec 2008. Why? because lots of IT guys were trying to leave the US due to recession and GC trouble. (i am guessing all this).
