July 2005 AOR..buffalo timeline...

Hi all!

oh boy...more replies and no notification! i have emailed the webmaster and was told that they recently have changed the IP addresses of their servers which could have caused this "notification" problem and that they will look into it.

so far no news...anyone?

thanks for the add'l info Cyprus97. I have updated the list. oh yes, i do go to other forums. :D BTW, where does it state that the new rules went into effect Sept 2005? all along i thought that they (FBI/state clearances) needed to be submitted along with the initial application. Never knew that IELTS was required. :confused: Weren't we given a choice between taking the test and submitting a written evidence of English proficiency? do you mind giving us the link?

2 1/2 more weeks and it'll be 1 year from when I applied...no transfer...no IA...no email... :( i really hope that we'll hear good news soon!
 
Medicals

Hi zad886

Here is some more info on my case, we did our medicals for me,myspouse and my son on June 12th and waiting for FBI,PCC(India), and some statements from banks as proof of funds(those are the add'l docs they requested along with my 2005 w2). I think FBI report is the one that is going to take longest time :( , Hope to get everything by August 2nd week

Regards
 
Hi all,

A link or more information would be appreciated.

According to the Guide for Skilled Workers Immigration (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/EG7.pdf), updated May 2006, the language test is optional.

Buffalo specific form (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/E37048.pdf), updated December 2004, mentions: 'Do not request a
police certificate from Hong Kong or Canada until you are instructed to do so by a visa office.' As for US...I'm not sure.

Maybe it's just a lawyer's scam... :confused:
 
Hi All,

No real exciting news, but we sent our change of address in. We sent it registered mail, and the address was changed on e-CAS within 10 days of the confimation of delivery receipt. I supposed that means they are still aware of our file at least. It is almost a year for us now also; was really hoping things would start happening by now.
 
Happy aniversary to all :mad:

E-cas changed quickly for us, too, when we sent the change of address form. At least we know our files are still there...alive and kickin' ;)
 
Hi All!

yippee! email notifications are back...great work admin! :)

thanks for the update, whatalabor. have your tried calling FBI to check the status on your clearance? did you give them a deadline? they're pretty good with that. i called them before and politely inquired and told them that my deadline was in a week's time...eventhough they said they will try to do their best (my thoughts went...."oh no!!"), i received my clearance in a couple of days. here's the number if you don't have it. (304) 625-3878, or their main switchboard at (304) 625-2000.

hey G! thanks for the links...didn't know they had an updated guide. :) i really hope they don't change the passmark any time soon...before our IAs. if it went lower, great! but higher...?!?! :eek:

hoping for the same thing, tracy! wish we'd hear something soon...and please let it be good news!!!

Thanks for the advice, I put a deadline of 40 days (To be reasonable), and I received the FBI clearnce in 2 weeks. Now, is it OK to open the envelop and see what is written in there or is the right reserved only to a Canadian immigration officer. But if that is the case how would you know whether the finger print card had been accepted or not?. appreciate an answer folks.

no problem in opening. I did the same thing and sent the fingerprints to consulate. No problem so far.

Thanks very much Thomas, I thought so. Moreover the envelope addressed me not the consular offiicer. Thank you for your input

Hi Everyone!

Haven't been online lately. I did receive something from Buffalo last week...though not the long awaited IA. :( I got my refund for the ROLF which i paid together with my application. I'm thinking, could this mean that they have started "looking" into my application??? I hope so...been over a year since i mailed it out.

hey WAL! i, too, did the same thing. i opened the brown envelope to make a photocopy for my files before mailing it out to Buffalo. :)
 
Please update your list

Thank you ZAD886.

Your suggestion was very valuable in getting FBI FP, It really worked. All thanks to you, especially when the US GC process is up in the air(The extraordinary ability of our company immigration attorney messed it up :mad: ). Now I am keeping my fingers crossed and waiting. Next would be all June/July applications so your time is coming up.

Regards
