I recognize some of the names from entries in Tim's lead case. I believe Lawrence Wong, Wennie Lee and Erin Roth appear in the entries, but maybe not the other three. I think I've read somewhere that Lawrence Wong has files in the class action group.

Waldman's lead case might be 3801, not 8747, although both were being updated up to early this month. Notes in the lead cases' files where the lawyers have combined their files. Also, I am curious on why Delhi VO would request for updates from applicants if they were not going to assess the...

annel: I believe that what you believe in is what will happen. Your lawyer might not have had the complete information when you asked, which is why a differing opinion from what some of us (including you and me) believe. Fact is, if you have not gotten any requests for update from CIC, and...

If I remember correctly, for the second litigation group, Rotenberg is filing cases accepted through CanadaClassAction.com, but they update clients using either Bellissimo or Cohen -- I forget which one. I believe Cohen has consolidated his cases with Bellissimo, and it seems that only Waldman...

annel: Have you received a request for update from CIC, and if so, have you sent the docs requested? Based on your sig, I believe you submitted as FSW-SAP, and based on the CIC website, the Pretoria backlog is 7.25 years long, so the last FSW files processed would probably be mid-2005. sac...

sac: No, no updates at all. We're definitely in the same boat. We'll have to wait for the final FSW guidelines though, and you'll probably submit earlier because of your Canadian degree. I'm still hoping, though, that Justice Barnes can provide a final decision on the Leahy cases before the...

hopeful4: If your processing will continue, then you are probably in the same boat as Tim's representative case, who has already gotten his visa. The quota for Vienna VO FSW was very low in 2011 though -- only 90 vs. this year's 600, so hopefully you can still get your MR as you are apparently...

sac: I am not sure why hopeful4 and probably some others in other visa offices got requests for update even if their files were not up for assessment yet, but I am almost certain that they were not assessed because even if the visa officer has time on his/her hands to make an assessment, he/she...

My advice is, do not contact CIC regarding refund information, and do not provide an address update if they write you directly for one. If you do receive a refund check, do not deposit or encash it, as they may try to use it against you if you have FSW litigation against them. Further, while...

jevan: Next hearing date is supposed to be Nov 23. There probably won't be any news on Nov 16. hopeful4: When I checked just now, I saw the most recent record was IMM-10525-12. Last year the highest numbered IMM record was IMM-9873-11. Not all are similar to ours, as there are also cases of...

Do not think about what the lawyers will make, because that is really for the amount of time they spent to study law, to study our specific cases, and to plan strategies. If you pay someone cheaper, you might also get lower quality results. And do remember that you're paying only a fraction of...

kulwantgill: While twitter is not the CIC website, what Kenney tweets, he does. Some details may be different in the final presentation, but you still read it first from Kenney's tweet. hopeful4: If it's a Canadian PhD, your upcoming FSW application would probably be good to go. If not, let's...

kulwantgill: Apparently not enough checking. Kenney on upcoming education assessment: https://twitter.com/kenneyjason/status/236601924781215744 sac: I found a tweet by Kenney about Canadian degrees. https://twitter.com/kenneyjason/status/243745006093991936 BTW, don't be pressured into filing...

I've shared this in other forums before, but maybe not here. FSW 2013 open to NOC 0, A and B: 18 Aug 2012: https://twitter.com/kenneyjason/status/236790027881947136 FSW 2013 will have a cap: 03 Sep 2012: https://twitter.com/kenneyjason/status/242643175259394048 I believe hopeful4 was quoting...

Definitely not you. This one I got to know from the backloggers FB group. I told him how to check if his case has been filed, so he did. He saw his case, but it was filed by Tim, not Cecil Rotenberg. Apparently he got in touch with Tim, and Tim probably reviewed all his cases to see who...

sac: Do you know the value of an AIM degree? My brother got his first NZ job at Auckland City Council because of it. It also helped that he was the only one with a master's degree among 6 qualified applicants. :-D kiwi1: While records are public except when ordered sealed by the court, I...

Kenney has tweeted that FSW 2013 will be open to NOC 0, A and B, but with a cap. He may change details before FSW reopens, but that's what he tweeted last month. But it is true that MI-3 had a cap of 500 for each of the 29 NOCs, and a total cap of 10k applications. sac: Yes, I am expecting a...

Yes, that's what the cap means. There's still no announced number, but around 20k applications will probably be the number if the target is 61k FSW visas in a year, assuming that there is no backlog to process. I don't have a crystal ball or a PhD in statistics though, so don't take my word...

sac: You will probably have an advantage when submitting your FSW 2013 application in that you will probably not need to go through the educ assessment, saving time and probably giving you a head start and less worry on educ points. I will be preparing docs and will retake the IELTS if Justice...

sac: The favorable decision of June 14 is for the Liang case of Tim Leahy, which according to the February 2012 agreement between Tim and DoJ/CIC, must be applied to all of Tim's pre-Feb2008 cases. Tim also had a second group composed of MI-1 cases whose decision was not necessary as CIC...
