Thanks a lot dothk..Just one more question.Should i request for the 'Physical Files' or the 'Electronic Files'?

If you choose physical files ... its going to be too long and will not get GCMS in a month! just check e mail and do include a copy of work permit with the request

Hello friends, I am also an April applicant, and had meds done in Dec 2011. e-cas says Application received and "Medical Results have been received". Guess I am in a similar boat as many of you.

Just wondering what exactly happens after they receive the medicals. Does it mean that my application is all complete and is simply awaiting review by a visa officer? Somehow, I feel the process isn't very transparent. Any guesses as to how long it "actually" takes them to process an application?

Nobody know how long. .. it depends on the case, the criminality check the visa officer all three components are variable. You might have a quick VO but the crim check might take longer or vice versa. 15 months is around the mostly you should be hearing something..

Sent a case specific inquiry to Buffalo and got the following reply:

"Your application is in process. We are unable to provide a date when the processing of your application will be complete."

I had ordered GCMS notes a month back and they showed that Criminality check: In Progress

The criminality check has been started since Sep 1, 2011. Any idea how long does it usually take?

I think its just in queue for final review with the visa officer. Nobody knows how long it will take but shall be soon!

Thanks. But what really constitutes a criminality check? Haven't we already sent the police certificates? What else do they need to check?

Did you send any email to buffalo ? did you apply for gcms notes ?

Also you can get a letter from PNP office for extending your work permit, since its expiring in June its better you apply quickly
 
HI guys, I just updated CIC regarding my new address through mail.Earlier it was updated on ecase only.Whats the best way to ask Buffalo if they have sent over an Initial assessment letter which i could have missed for some reason during moving? Is initial assessment letter even necessary? because i have not received anything as such yet.
Just wondering if the updation on file creates a delay in the process?
