The processing time with AEO is the same as skilled worker, because I have AEO and since June 2008 till current have not heard from Buffalo. Not even for medical request yet. All I was told when I did CAIPS was that my bring forward date was June 2009 and still nothing till today. I was also informed that there was no fast track in Buffalo. I do not know for any other country, this is just my experience and what I was told. good luck....
