Hello Friends,
I have sent my full application to Buffalo 1 week back. Can anyone clarify me if it is possible to check my application status? In some threads, I have seen people saying that their application status is "received by VO". In which website I can check that status?

How long will it take to receive the AOR from Buffalo? After receiving the AOR from Buffalo, how many more days/months it typically take to get the PR (If everything goes well)? How does Buffalo office sends the AOR?

If possible, please let me know briefly the stages the application goes through after sending the full application to Buffalo, USA.

Thanks in advance !

PS: My application was recommeded by NS Office in June 2010, as per the previous rules.

Regards,
MS

Minimum one month to receive the AOR from Buffalo. (sometimes it takes longer)


If you have provided them an email address, and got your approval letter from the CIO via email, most probably Buffalo is gonna send you the AOR via email.

After they receive your application in Buffalo, check it for completeness, and create a file for you on their system, you will be able to see the update on e-case to show "Received by the visa office".

If everything is ok and very clear in your documents, it might take 5 to 8 months to Buffalo to get back to you with starting the processing of your file or transfer the file to another local visa office on the united states.

Be prepared to wait from 10 to 11 months for your case to be finalized since the date of receipt in Buffalo (sometimes less, other times more).


Good luck.

Hi Professional 1 and other Seniors

My case is little bit different.... I am staying in USA under my OPT and my wife went back to my native country. Our plan is that she will join with me in Canada if with the mercy of the Almighty everything goes fine with us. I have not received my medicals yet but my status changed to "In Process" on Sep 22nd. My concern is...

1. How we can complete our medicals staying in two diff countries? I was thinking to send her a copy of medical req. so that she can do it independently from my native country and send it to Canada. Am I thinking on right way?

2. If everything goes ok and they ask for passport, then how we gonna make it together? I was reding issues about sending passport by mail cross country and the immigration office asks for all passports to send to them together. How can I make it then?

3. Anyone knows when exactly they start verifying all documents? I may need to inform my previous employer in my native country that they may get a call for verification.

Thank you

smallduck,

I saw your history on the left pane... and I just wanna say - Yes! I can join you to land on July 2011 if everything goes well! That's also my plan of landing. Go back to US the next day and just fully transfer to Canada by 2014!

That is not a problem,

Send her a copy of her medical forms to do the medicals back home, but make sure that she informs the designated doctor to send the results to Ottawa not anywhere else.

2. If everything goes ok and they ask for passport, then how we gonna make it together? I was reding issues about sending passport by mail cross country and the immigration office asks for all passports to send to them together. How can I make it then?

This rule applies if your wife is living in India. Some countries along with India do not allow sending the passports out of the country by mail. (not all countries)

Anyway, even if your country allows such a case, it is unsafe to send the passport from overseas to the united states via mail or courier (you never know what might happen such as, customs delays, losing the shipment somewhere...etc, and at the end, you will suffer from that).

The best way is to find someone you really trust to carry the passport for you from your country to the united states,(that is what i would do, if i was in your situation).

3. Anyone knows when exactly they start verifying all documents? I may need to inform my previous employer in my native country that they may get a call for verification.

Thank you

When they start processing your application, which means Sep 22 in your case.



Good luck.

Profesional1 had addressed all your questions but I just want to add something that makes sense to me. I the DMP back at your native country would(could)n't want to send results to Ottawa office but local office. It's reasonable and have your wife pick up the results and send by herself.
If the passport can not be send via courier mail, the only way to send the passport out is to "escort" it by herself. Anyway, you can have her passport stamp at later date (after you have yours done).
That's what I thought about your case .
