As I mentioned earlier I just found out that my real and official PD is March 2002. We all know that VSC are currently working on March 2005, which means - they are two years (!) ahead of me.
I called the 800 number about a month ago and got the response letter yesterday...all it says is that it is "being delayed"...no special reason as oppose to the last letter that mentioned "security check delays".
So I called again this morning to tell them that in all previous calls/inquiries I gave them a wrong PD by mistake and I wanted to fix that and start another inquiry.
I was surprised to find on my "way to the hold line" that they changed/modified their prompts. There is a new prompt now that lets you "check PD to see if you can apply for Permanent Resident"
...unless it was always there and I never realized that.
Anyways, the recording says the following (I'll try to quote as much as possible):
"For Third Preference Skilled Workers and Professionals the Priority cutoff date effective as of April 1 2005 is current. Visas are immediately available for all areas. Exceptions as follows: For those born on the Chinese mainland, India and the Philippins the cutoff date is April 1 2002.
For Other Third Preference Workers the Priority Cutoff Date effective as of April 1 2005 is July 1 2001 for all areas."
So...I am in deep depression now...first of all because of the set back in the dates...all of a sudden I find myself in July 2001. Second - what the heck is the deal with all these dates? Their web site is talking about cutoff date of March 2004, now I hear July 2001 (which you can't even find anywhere in their web site), so who/what/where should I believe...?
