HELP: what would you say about it?
my application was received at cio on may 8, 2014. lets suppose another applicant's app is received on may 20, 2014. now I know that cio will take average 2 months to issue any update for my app.
is it possible for the applicant whose app is received after mine, to call cio and get uci or any other update on his/her app before mine? people are saying no matter when ever ur app is received, just give a call to cio, they will give u uci on phone and prefer to process ur app for per than those applicants whose app was received b4 you.
is it really the case? I mean is it possible to call them and get uci sooner than those who applied b4 me? is calling necessary to get your app processed faster then those who have just applied and waiting for cio to contact them rather then contacting cio themselves? if I don't call them for any update or uci then they will process my app late then those who contact them no matter their app got there late then mine?
what I have read on cic website and other relevant websites that those whose apps are received 1st get processed 1st. its like FIFO, first in first out........but I m seriously worried about what people saying about calling and getting uci and updates so that app is preferred to be processed earlier than those who don't call and just wait for cio to contact them.
thanks for the advice in advance.

I don't know from where you got this information from. At least CIC says its FIFO process until PER.. Later it depends on local VOs. But if u haven't heard back from CIC about ur application within 3 months from application date. You can send them email to know the status about your application. In that process they might reveal your UCI number but it is to enable you to reach them back to know more about application. But it doesn't really mean they will expedite processing of your application. These are my thoughts , some experts or fsw 13 applicants can throw some light on this issue
