concorde411, most of the folks here are applying from Canada. I applied from USA on Jan 14 2010 and got my CSQ July 14, they send us a mail on May-31 that our file was complete and she should wait for decision. I think you only heard a rumor that they are processing now Feb 2010 applicants, through the years they have made so much changes to speed up the process and make it more efficient. So, dont worry you will be called for an interview as soon as they schedule an interview mission in NYC. Go to the official immigration website and try to find out what is the processing time. I am sure they have this info there!
Fallsage, why do they need finger prints? Did you send your police certificate when you applied? Sorry, but I keep forgetting are you applying from Canada or USA?
HopeVisa and rest of Aug applicants, good news are on the way to you! Usually they send you correspondence shortly after they have started processing your file.
