UPDATE FOR BUFFALO APPLICANTS

After a bit of toiling I managed to track down a number for someone at the Immigration desk at Buffalo (one that didn't just have a recording!). I spoke to her and asked why I hadn't heard anything for 6 months, she explained there was a massive backlog. She took my name, UCI number DOB and address and said she would look up my application and let me know via email if I was on the system or not. She explained that they actually have two systems, a new one and an old one, and at the moment I was speaking to her she only had access to the old system, which I would not be on since I posted to Sydney first. It sounds like it's quite confusing for them over there and they probably alternate on which system they are working on during the day.

This also means that Post June 26thers do not have priority over previous applicants, and also explains the patchy progress from that VO to us new applicants, they are working on us just at a very slow rate. I do wish I'd asked some more general questions such as the number of applications etc. but there we go. Perhaps if people on here can come up with a good list of questions I'll call back and ask them and record the responses.

She also said that phoning her wasn't much better than just using the General Enquiry email address, so I won't be sharing the phone number on here.

Oh wow! Did she explicitly told you that we don't have a priority or you concluded that from your conversation? No wonder they are closing doors for a week...they should do at least a month for us to feel any effect!

Good luck to you and +1 from me for getting a hold of a real person at Buffalo VO! They do exist! :)

HI all ,

A real sad news from my end .. ""I'm Out Of The Race " :( got my rejection letter .. My agent messed it up ..
Long Story short ....
Its a case of failed ER at the VO ... I had a total of 4.5 yrs exp .. more than 2 yrs as a Restaurant Manager (NOC 0631) and 2 as a Food Service Supervisor(NOC 6212) .. but my consultant wrongly gave the NOC code as 0631 for both my jobs ..

my application was assessed based on 0631 for both my jobs . The Reference letter that I submitted which relates to 6212 was even assessed based on 0631 .. My consultant never cared to put in the correct NOC code of 6212 where I worked as a supervisor, instead he gave the code there as 0631 .... and the application was rejected stating that employment letter do not indicate you performed the actions described in the lead statement for NOC code 0631 (Restaurant and food service managers) for the job i did as a supervisor . I was in fact awarded 17 points for the job that I did as Restaurant manager .

The explanation above is vague .. will post the exact details and wordings of the rejection letter tomorrow..

Of course! I need to think some more about what else you can ask her, but the first thing that comes to mind is how will new set of applications affect us, or backlog in general?! I am thinking that the fact that they are alternating between systems doesn't necessarily mean that anyone has priority. It could be all about numbers and percentages (how many they process from each...). I guess my only question would be about estimate of processing time, just so we can all plan our lives...but I am not sure she'll have any of those answers...

Keep us posted and thanks for sharing!
