i suggest applying for cec.. i spoke to my lawyer and its ok to have 2 ongoing applications in cic. her advice to me was to include a letter in the 2nd application explaining that u already have an application, its details like category, aor number and its stage etc.. and that now u qualify for cec and are applying under cec..
i'm still gathering documents for my cec application, but i believe it will be faster than our FSW application..

i just cant decide if i should send my cec to buffalo or india.. indian VO seems to move faster than Buffalo for fsw.. but i'm not sure how fast it is for CEC..

seniors any input on CEC applications in Indian VO?
I have read somewhere in this forum that all CEC applications are handled by Buffalo VO only. I do not know if it is true but if it stands true, this partly explains the delay in processing applications since CEC was introduced a couple of years ago.

Your friends also received MR in 5 months. Can you confirm with your friends as to what VO they have chosen. I will vote for NDVO.

Hello folks,

Can anyone advise what calendar year for CIC means? Is it simply from jan-dec or july to june when they updates their immigration policies?
Thank you

CyTric

Hello all,

I asked CIC about my application status and in response I get.."We do not anticipate that we will begin to process federal skilled worker applications from February 2010 during the current calendar year..". Anyone with similar dates, please update ur dates & current status. I now believe nothing can be expected before late 2012. Pls pass ur thoughts !!

Many thanks !!

Regards,
CyTric

Calendar year means Jan.--Dec. I guess that's what the email suggests.

Friends, help please

After almost 20 months since I received the AOR in U.S. in 2010 Apil. I moved back to my home coutry 2010 August. My friend just received the medical request letter at her U.S address.
I have two questions that I need your urgent help with:

1. The letter also requests an updated police certificate from FBI because the one I originally sent has expired. The old one was dated 2009 December. I cannot go back to U.S to get a fingerprint again. Since I have lived in my home country since last August, can I obtain a police certifcate from my home country instead?

2. If I have to get a fingerprint to submit to FBI, is it possible to obtain the fingerprint outside of U.S.?

Thanks very much,

Really appreciate your help!

that can happen only through the consulates. Try reaching out to the US consulate in your country
