Bro, no idea why they took the time to send me that confirmation of receipt message, create a UCI for me and a file #, but didn't actually approve/fwd the file to ISB. Agar file khol hi li hai to ghanta laga ke approve kar ke aagay bhi rawana kar do !!
And yes, i myself dont understand the discrepancy between what is reported on the website and what is really happening....

yar i am getting that tingly feeling too after seeing some cases move here lately... but on the flip side... this website is a small pond compared to the overall number of ppl that applied for sponsorship, are all of them on here.... are all of them getting processed just as quick as well? thats the thing that is to think about...

Small pond yes but seeing the wave of approvals and updates all at once tells us they're moving. Mailman also knows what is coming in and to who, when he del my wife's letter, he had 3 more in the same neighborhood. It's a good sign. :)

Ahhhh saal to lagay ga....
I found out about a guy who lives in Whitby, he got a letter from his MAYOR which he sent down to CIC ISB. His case went through in 6 months. (He applied sometime in 2011)
Ive called my mayor: Hazel Mccallion... Uss kay office walay kehtay hain, please contact the Federal Government or Canadian Immigration Dept, we cant help u....
Tried getting directly connected to her because my friend works closely with her, hes in the City of Mississauga, Finance dept. Finally got through.. when I did get in touch with her, she said she cant help because these are matters to be handled by the Federal government and that she wishes she could help, but she cant..

Ab banda karay to kya karay!! Sabar ki ghari buhut zalim hai

The mayor stated that he knew the sponsor and he was an active member of the community.
The mayor asked for an update on his application and made a personal appeal to the CIC-ISB office VO who was handling their case to expiate the process if possible because of the emotional turmoil the sponsor is facing.

I tried to get an original copy of the letter, but only got the paraphrased version because the sponsor sent the original letter and kept no copies...

I dont know what the exact 'secret recipe' of words used was, but it seemed to have gotten his wife here in record time, considering it was a mid-late 2011 application
