Important info - Getting Visa Office Specific File #
I recently had a job change and needed to inform Buffalo. I am still RBVO in ecas. I used the email...NOT ecas form...to notify them.
In the email, I put the pertinent information regarding my employment status and then added the line, "My current status is "Received By Visa Office". If I have a Buffalo - Specific Visa Office Application Number, please forward that to me, so as to include in any future correspondence regarding my job transition, streamlining the process on your end." hoping I could get a Buffalo specific file #.
Lo and behold, they sent an email with my Buffalo specific file #!!!
As I have new Police Certificates and was waiting on "In Process" and the all important Buffalo file # before I mailed them...I've now got it! Hopefully, now I can mail them and have them included in my file and good for 12 months!
I believe this will only work when accompanied by a legitimate change to file info.
It does give credence to the theory that we are "In Process" long before ecas status is updated.
