My brother is US citizen. He is carrying our passport to Buffalo embassy for PR stamping. I have written authorization letter to carry my passport. Does anyone know whether it is a problem to carry passport through the Canada/US border? Any idea?

Congratulation my friend! Are you going to send your PP or go there to get your visa?
Thank you. I will send it. If you don't mind may I know your area of specialization?
I remember somewhere you said you are a scientist

Thank you jattu1980. What is your update? Did you hear anything? Your timeline is similar to mine. I think you will get passport request soon.
Hi Tamakh,

My DMP mailed the results to Ottawa on July 6th and they reached there on 8th July. Judging by what I have read here, it will take 10-14 days for the processing at Ottawa. So probably by next week the NY office will get them. I will call them this coming Monday to inquire about my case. Giving it another 15-30 days after that within which duration I should get my PPR if the background check has been completed. Something similar to Pasi's timeline give or take a few.
Fingers crossed!! :)

What are your timelines and is NY your office too?

Hello All,

Greetings!

I'm new to this forum. I submitted my documents to Buffalo CIC last week. I'm currently in Detroit, MI.

I saw in some postings that 'File transferred to NY' or 'Transferred to Detroit' etc. What does it mean? Please brief me!

Cheers!

Hey Merlion,
Applications are sent over to the consulates you mentioned in the advanced stages.
This usually happens after the preliminary review and from then on all your dealings will be with the new consulate and not Buffalo.
Buffalo does it typically to speed up processing times.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for your reply! I have not mentioned anything about the Detroit consulate in my application. Is it to late to put my request? If I transfer my file to Detroit, what is the advantage? Can I avoid sending my passport (once the PR is approved) to Buffalo? Please advise!

Cheers!

I think it is not our decision.
As far as I know, our option is only to send it to Buffalo and its upto them whether they transfer or not.
My own file remained in Buffalo as has a lot of others.

Hi Merlion,

Yes, it is not in your hand and it all depends on your files processing. If your file gets transferred, that is normally a good signal with a probability of expedited processing. So....good luck and be positive! :)

It may take anything between one to three months for medical to be finalized.
Please remember this is also a time for background checks.
