Thank you for sharing, atowfiq.

So, your file is proceed by Buffalo office rather than other local offices; and your file has not been transferred to any other office. Am I right?

That means Buffalo is not just doing the transferring job, but also the proceeding job.

I don't know what the hell they are doing. But I hope they do.

they updated it on Nov., 2 to 24 months. but they changed their mind and posted the last update (July 26 2011-21 months). I think they will come up with the new information next week. hold your finger crossed for less than 24.

It looks like the cases that were held back at Buffalo are getting MRs and transferred cases are being scrutnized.

Good luck to all..

It seems that all the offices (including buffalo) are working on processing the application before June 2010. Buffalo not only transfers files to other local office, but also processes application at the same time.

That is good news. I guess most of us will get MR before 2012. But there is no "first come, first service" order. Sigh,,, All we can do is pray and wait.

Vermas, I think you could at least get MR in this month. Don't be worry...

The fact is now Buffalo has also started issuing MRs for MI-1 cases remaining with them. Buffalo and NY seem to be on the same page now.

Cheers..
