Hi Canbrit.. yes it is great news! the application is being processed in Manila, Philippines. I was actually a bit surprised to hear from them so soon considering the normal timeline is within 6-8 months. I get goosebumps everytime i think about finally getting a visa for my partner. hehe..

Hang in there Canbrit.. I wish the best for your application! :)
Keep me updated!
 
My update now says:

"We started processing x's application on July 13, 2009.

We transferred x's application to the New York office on July 21, 2009. The New York office may contact x. "

Nothing has been said about medicals, which we did before sending in the application. Does anyone know if the above is normal, or should they have received the medicals before transferring. Is the transfer likely due to volume?
 
Hi Canbrit,

Looks like we are a day within one another....have you recieved the letter as of yet? Not sure if it is a standard letter..but was relieved to see the words quoted in my letter, below...

"In order to expedite the processing of your application, your file has been sent to" NY


As far as medicals..."Medical results have been received." was updated when they started processing my application on June 29th. I believe I read on the board somewhere that they do not always update this part of it...and if they have not recieved these you would be notified...I'm not much help I know, maybe some of the more knowledgeable will respond! Just keep the Faith...hopefully we will be singing...I'll be home for Christmas :)!!!

I now got a letter it was expedited as well.

I'll be curious to see what other communications you receive next, as I seem to be a few weeks behind you.
 
Hi kevinsjane,
Looking at your timeline it seems like we are at the same processing time.
My husband got approved as sponsor on May 20, then transferred to Buffalo for my PR and start process on June 4th but then July 14, it was moved to Detroit to expedite (I see yours is NY), but the thing is I live in CA. So I don't know if I should contact them, but on the letter they gave us it says not to call or request of status info or anythin, it says to wait for them to contact me within 90 days.
Did your letter give number of days to wait too?

Hi Annemyrtle,

Yes same inital letter as you...wait 90 days before I contact...I am hoping the 'expedite' process is less then the 90 days...wishful thinking but...got to keep the faith!!!! :)

Here's to a speedy time frame for all of us, before the first snowflake falls!!!!! :)
