Rod,

Also Do you remember the day
when
1) Application reached CIO, sydney - It says Oct 2010
2) Application transferred to Buffalo VO - It says Feb 2011.

Can you be more specific in terms of day, if you can.

Thanks,
satya.

I just checked my ecas and my address has disappeared as well.
I hadn't checked ecas for a long time now so I can't say when it might have happened.
Fingers crossed and hoping for some activity as well.

I must mention that my address did not disappear most of the times that it happened for fellow forumers on here besides this one time long time ago.

Sorry I didn't mean to skip you. I have no idea if they transfer files from applicants in canada to other VO's :-/ I wouldn't see a problem if they do because regardless if its in Buffalo or any other VO in the US the requirements in the event of an interview should be the same

saratracy said:
Congrat, Rod. At least Buffalo is moving to some extent. As I understand you are in the US now, how about post June 26 applicants who are in Canada? Does Buffalo transfer their files to other offices in the US or keep processing them in Buffalo? Please tell what you think/
