I have started a new thread..but considering overwhelming popularity of this thread here's the repost:
Factors affecting timeline:
1. Existing backlog (What about pre-Nov 2008 applications)?
2. New applications (Pre-June26 2009 applications) ?
3. Ultra new applications (Post- June 2009 applications)--
Applications received toward the overall cap: 5,551 of 20,000 as of December 22, 2010
Post June, CIO, Sydney does initial screening and then it gets to visa office.
Out of these how many are for Buffalo? Safe bet
4. No of FSW2 workers for Buffalo==Unknown??
5. No of Immigration Officers
