    Renewing passport in the middle of processing

    Just also piping in to say I recently renewed my passport and I just sent them an email (through the case specific enquiry form) with a scan of my new passport as an attachment. They even replied they had received it and it would be put with my file.

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Still waiting on news from Seattle (where I was transferred). Amoss & Avacado - hi! I didn't hear of my transfer to Seattle until I emailed them to update my passport (I had had it renewed). I don't know if that was coincidence or not or that made them pull my application from the pile..lol In...

    Since they have updated the date on the website to February 1st, if you are from January person - I would definitely suggest calling CIC for info. If they say they have no record of you in the system at all still, I would definitely request a supervisor and politely demand to know where your...

    proof pictures - how to send them?

    I sent about 60 pics I think. I just had prints made, wrote the names/dates/event or location on the back, and put them in chronological order in a small envelope. I think any way you do it as long as its organized and you indicate what the photos are, will be fine.

    ^^ Yes this is what I think because my meds showed rec'd :) way before my transfer. It just means they have your complete file I think!

    I wouldn't think that for sure. Mine said meds rec'd weeks before I heard about my seattle transfer. In my mind, it just means buffalo has your complete app w/ meds and they log it before they decide what they are doing with it.

    Don't quote me on it, but yes, I think that means your app is in Buffalo. As far as I understand it CPC-M just looks at the sponsorship stuff -and only once everything is in Buffalo do they update you with "medicals received". If I am completely off-base I am sure someone will speak up to...

    Don't worry about not being able to log in yet. They take awhile to update it and seem to only do it about once a week. :) Congrats!

    How I organized our applcation and a summary of all helpful tips I have learned

    I am still awaiting PR so I can't say for sure but I highlighted the pertinent calls on my phone bill. I think that makes sense to do. I included the front page with my address and such and then just the pertinent pages of the bill. My thinking was they want evidence, not pages of stuff they...

    88 days doesn't start until they open the application?

    When we phoned they said it was from days received. But who knows. Honestly, I think the call centers agents know about as much as we do..lol (meaning not alot) about this process. From the way my application was handled I am pretty sure they opened it & approved it the very same day. We had...

    Very Important Question

    If you are appying outland you will definitely be filling out 5481. I don't think you have to fill out 1283 - thats the financial evaluation? That is for other family members (like parents etc), not spouse. Spousal sponsorships don't require the financial assesment. You can be jobless and...

    My application can`t fit inside an expandable envelope

    I divided my app into 3 sections with 3 big envelopes - Sponsor, applicant, evidence. Labeled them all and took them to the post office and put them in a giant postal envelope. I don't think it much matters how you send it as long you have everything in order :)

    Congrats to Gemini! I wish we could all have that quick of processing in 2nd stage! That is amazing! :D It really stinks that the processing time for stage 1 is so bad right now. I really hope they get it sorted out soon. I won't say to stay positive because I know that can be impossible at...
