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.
 
So apparently Canada opened doors to PhD students again.

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

Cong~ vitaliy_doctor! Did they transfer your file to other office?
 
thanks) no, no transfer, stayed in buffalo
 
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...

i just happened to check my application! turns out my file has been transferred to New york office! is that office faster or slower than buffalo?
We received your application for permanent residence on February 8, 2010.

We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on March 18, 2010. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

Your application and supporting documents were received by the New York office. They are pending review.

We transferred your application to the New York office on March 24, 2010. The New York office may contact you.

We transferred your application to the New York office on November 3, 2011. The New York office may contact you.
 
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..
