i just call my representative Today and told him that i got the DECISION MADE through my application number PERMANENT RESIDENT and STATUS.
(a month ago).

then he called me and says, i got the interview Last June 6 2017 and i missed it!... he told me that there are some technical problem about the email, He cant Read the Letter.. and now my consultant told me that i need re-schedule and write a letter why i missed the interview!.... :(!!
Seriously???...!!!! What a Crap..!! You should charge him right away asking for why he missed on that information and screwed you? Get rid of him and try to contact CIC yourself. I believe you can easily remove your rep and then like Profiler and others mentioned try to reschedule with an explanation which is a valid one. You will be fine

I have said it before, and I will say it again. Reps ... are ... the ... WORST!

They are only required in the most complex cases, and even that, with a little research, you can probably represent yourself. They do not buy you any more "pull" or have your application processed "faster". All they do, is take your money for something they make you do, yourself, anyway (filling out paperwork).

There is nothing anyone can say that would convince me otherwise.
Here interestingly I got a case where one of my friend is filing for his wife through a rep and the rep said he is gonna send all the paperworks themselves, and it seems like they are least interested in let the client see what they are filing

"Pulling the wrong plug"? Sorry, Sam. Not buying it. At. All.

The only item in a DC that I can see causing that type of "outage" would be "pulling the plug (power, network, what have you)" on a SAN/NAS/Filer. It would then take time to rescan and rebuild block indexes across the disk-span. Assuming, of course, that they totally ignored the routine "rebuilding of indexes -- or "defrag" as windows used to call it -- which is also routine practice.

The biggest problem I have with that theory is, if you are an airline, and you know that this would be a single point of failure, do you not have redundant PSU's, fed from separate UPS's on separate power feeds into the DC? If it was network-related, did they not bond NIC's on separate switch fabrics?

In my previous lives (well, earlier in my career) I architect'ed and deployed such in far-less mission-critical infrastructure. The driver in those cases were typically Engineering "departments" at software dev houses cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour of lost work-time. Not even personal safety...

Lol, I completely agree with you and I did not believe that crap as well, just quoted as came up in media. Even small data centres have redundancy in built, not to mention BA. They are trying to cover up something else I believe.

Write to that email and also try calling. And if you cannot get a line to talk to an agent today and you don't receive an answer to your email today, contact your MP tomorrow. Your MP will be able to speak to someone.

The email should be the one of your local office, so the most important in my opinion. But unless you get a rapid reply, I would try calling. From CIC perspective, you didn't show up for your landing interview, so they might close your application. That's why I would try very hard to reach them.

@browning911 consider that much of the paperwork is repetitive:
Name, Address, DOB, COB, Passport #, etc etc.

Adding to that, any form specific questions can be added to the data entered, click a button, download a zip with your entire application-set of PDF's
I would buy it and those who hired lawyers would purchase it too. It is amazing to me that some lawyers who deal with immigration applications don't know the difference between SA and AIP.

Amirite??

Botengcoke also spent an additional (why? Did the rep not recommend renewal of passport before you start process??? Hmmmmm!?) $450 to renew an expiring OWP (which we have come to learn it's only $155 on renewals)..

It's not my case, rep, or spouse...or even life or business... But GD an I pissed about that.

That rage may drive my app development...
I am getting more and more annoyed by the second. I remember when Botengcoke thought he received SA. At that time I did not know he had a representative. The representative should have been able to tell him whether he had received SA and AIP if he got that prior to DM. That means there was a problem with 1-4 e-mails that were "not received" by representative.

Now he wants to charge him for paying RPRF and he did not even have the courtesy to write the letter and send it to Botengcoke to sign. Really???

IMHO, if you are representing someone you advise them to pay the full fee at the beginning, if they can afford it.

I wonder what it is lately with absolute crap from reps.

Outlook has a rule-engine that lets you automatically forward specific emails to specific people... true story!), and would actually call me to check up on me. That's where you can pick up upsells, like, you know, filling out OWP paperwork AGAIN....

I just... I just don't get it. It's really the reason why I won't ever consult. Ever. Help out on a forum, sure. Maybe write an app for paperwork. But never ever, ever do I want to be "linked" to that cesspool...
I would like to know how to do that with Outlook.

We paid $300 for an hour's worth of advice. I did the rest. Absolutely no questions from CIC at all...

People who are starting... do it yourselves! The paperwork is daunting, but nothing you can't handle. Trust me!!
Yes, just take your time and do one form at a time.

For those watching 'murican politics:

Al Green and Brad Sherman .. both are Dem congressmen have released draft impeachment articles for Trump.

Several others want to wait so they can root all the cancer out, not just the head..

They're saying now it's when, not if...

And his lawyer is saying he might fire the special prosecutor...
I was laughing so hard when I heard he wanted to fire Mueller. Is he mad!!! Obstruction of justice, again?
