Buffalo transfter file to Seattle - Please share timeline

[c3373555]

I am also sailing in the same boat. Looks like Seattle is the slowest VO, I can't find single MR from Seattle visa office after the file transferred from buffalo. Did any one find the timelines between file transfer and MR? just to have a rough estimate.

Hi guys,

I just checked my status and it also says "Your application was reviewed and we started processing on December 1, 2011". Does that actually mean that the application was approved as it is up to this point with the documents they have received, and now only MR (and potentially an interview) left?

I will keep you updated. And congrats to FireFlySon and filip0bn. Hopefully we all will receive the MRs before Christmas!

 

[disco1004]

Congratulation for the one whose files are being processed.

Mine is still the same.

Mine was transferred to Seattle on Oct 5.


Strangely mine was one of the first files sent to Seattle but nothing further is happening yet.

Hopefully they will process mine soon as well.

It means that your points was calculated and you have more than 67.points.
Now you can expect Medical request in 10.days approximately.
I believe in that.

But purkoni what they did in buffalo i think points are calculated in buffalo now they are checking background

Me too no change on the e-cas yet, however it was already showing "Your application was reviewed and we started processing on December 31, 2010" while it was still in Buffalo, I hope they started processing in Seattle...

 

[babbar]

Very less chances of getting medical before christmas

 

[c3373555]

Just sorted according to file transfer date. So far we are 18 here. Let's see who gets the MR first in this race. Let's keep updating the list. Please feel free to update the list in case i miss any one.

[disco1004]

Just my wild guess is.. the officer(s) in Seattle who are in charge of Category 2 taking more time in reviewing than the ones working on other category?

Ah, if I get the MR before the Christmas, that will be the best Christmas Gift

I will run right away to see the doctor!

I have a question - mine was transferred November 17th. If your application is transferred to Seattle can you be pretty confident that everything is in order and on the right path to being processed?? ie nothing missing from the application etc

Re: Buffalo transfer file to Seattle - Please share timeline

Deise, in my understanding, CIO Sydney already performed the initial (primary) document completeness check, a complete eligibility review on your application, and charged your credit card. After the document check and eligibility review was successful (which was the case of all of us in this forum), they sent you a letter or email asking you to mail the following things to Buffalo: the same documents that you've already submitted to Sydney, also the additional documentation that's specific to the Buffalo. At the same time Sydney office transferred your file's information to Buffalo, where, together with your newly mailed document package, it was sitting and waiting in line until your time comes. Having a huge backlog of immigration applications, Buffalo (and other larger immigration offices) was too busy to completely process your application (at least I got a request for the criminal records from Buffalo, not from Seattle), so they transferred your file for processing to the less busy office in Seattle. That means, Seattle is doing what had to be done in Buffalo. Therefore, transferring your file from Buffalo to Seattle doesn't mean that everything is in order, because, when you were requested by Sydney to mail all the initial and additional (supporting) documents to Buffalo, I don't think that Buffalo checked the completeness of the additional documentation yet before transferring your file to Seattle. Once your time comes in Seattle and once the office begins processing your file, only then you will be informed in one way or another if everything is okay or not. I hope this helps.
