Buffalo to Los Angeles PR

[opps001]

I got email that my PR application has been transferred to LA on Aug 04 , 2010. Then, it showed On CIC on Aug 9, 2010.

Whats the next step ?? and how much time it will take?

Thanks

I think you are close. I guess maybe another 5 weeks or so to get the PPR, if you don't require an interview.

When did you get your AOR from Buffalo?

 

[opps001]

Thanks for the reply. It was first week of june.

I'm in the same boat - PR ap has been in LA since 7/28. No news yet but hoping for something soon!! ;D

 

[opps001]

oh ok.. well lets see what happens !!

To giggles1985,

looks like you got some updates from LA office. Can you please share?

 

[giggles1985]

Yes, I got a mail from them on 8/25 (dated 8/17) including two letters 1. a request for my divorce decree from my prior marriage and 2. a letter for my husband saying that they're concerned he may not have sufficient funds to fulfill his obligations as a sponsor and they want him to send them back a bunch of crap including bank records for the last 12 months, proof of income/letter from employer, leases, debt info, letters from family members offering support ... etc

Which, I personally find very very strange. Yes, my husband is a student and doesn't currently have a job but everything I've read shows that they don't care about financial stuff unless they have reason to believe the applicant is unable or unwilling to support themselves. Also, he was already approved as a sponsor! Why are they even looking at his financial stuff in LA at all?

But anyway we put together a big package with bank records and our savings accounts and letters from family and lots of other info and I'm sure it will be fine because we have a large amount in savings and I'm totally able to support both of us anyway. It's just irritating that they're asking. I guess maybe its because we didn't include much stuff with the sponsorship app because they say financial situation doesn't matter. Most people probably include much more than we did so maybe that is why we are the only ones in the history of the universe to get asked for this crap



As a side note I find it quite strange that our IO signed the letter personally with his full name and everything

Thank you for sharing. Oh i see, ur situation is different than mine. Hope it all works at the end.

Now lets see if i can get mail this week or not.

Hello, just wanted to share that we received a phone call today from an IO at the LA office to confirm my husband's email address. They are asking for his passport!!! A few minutes later he received the email. ;D

My husband's file was transferred to the LA office from Buffalo on August 4th so it took just under a month. Good luck to all of you waiting on LA. It seems that they are processing faster than Buffalo based on other's timelines.

 

[giggles1985]

Ah! This is the third LA person, I was thinking of. Any news for you, opps001?


Congrats again, can_80_n

 

[opps001]

[giggles1985]
