Hi omaus25,
Are you under FSW 1 or provincial nominee ? because i see nomination in your timeline, and i see from your past posts that you sent your application to the CIO first, so i guess you fall under FSW !
Anyway, it is strange to get decision about your application that fast, you just sent your application on Dec, 2009, and the online status shows decision made ! because in Buffalo visa office they take upto 1 year just to make the intial assessment for your application, that is why i am confused about your case.
Some applicants claim that they see the same words "Decision made" when they use the old file number given by the CIO and they see "Received by the visa office" when using the new file number given by the visa office.
If you belong to FSW class not provincial nominee and your application is in Buffalo and you just sent the application on Dec 2009, it is impossible to get a decision about the application tha fast. I think it is either a system mistake or because you are using the old number as this case has happend to "some" applicants" not all of them".
Good luck.
Thank you for your response
In order to make this more clear lets refresh my experience, last year after many corrections made on my file per CIO advice, I finally received my request for documents on July 27 - 2009. I sent my complete file to Buffalo on Nov 19 - 2009 and on Dec 11 - 2009 I got it back with a checklist where stated that I have not provided enough documentation in regards my legal status here in the USA.
On Dec 29 - 2009 I got my complete file already updated on the matter mentioned above to Buffalo again and I was expecting second AOR some time between this week and/or next. For my surprise, yesterday I logged in into the cic web site and found:
Decision Made:
A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.
So, I am as confused as you are my friend. I am applying under FSW-1, and NOC 0711 (5 years of exp.) and NOC 0111 (3 years of exp.). I did review my application last night and I do not see why I could be rejected, I carefully check every step and requirement before to start this process and I got more than enough points, I fell under 2 of the 38 occupations and I am just 31 years old with BS degree and more than 3 years on post college education. I am dying here waiting for the official response from Buffalo.
Could you tell me if yo are aware about another case like mine? Where a mistake was made and then corrected after?
Thank you for your time and wishes... the best for you too !
