Welcome Tuggiesuenim said:I was just wondering... any of us inlanders now thinking they should have applied outland? A year ago and even when I applied AIP was being done in 6 mths. I think what happened, when a lot off people saw this they chose inland and according the CIC agents, they are swamped which is why there is a backlog and AIP in 8-9 mths. Oh... that too. Why don't they just say 9 mths on the website? I don't know of many people getting it in 8 mths recently. I was going to apply via Buffalo but then I thought about needing a US visa if they called for an interview and I chose inland because my home visa office is taking 7-15 mths. I do already have an OWP and employed full time so I guess I should not be stressing so much. I guess the fact of not seeing my mother in over 5 years is getting to me :'(. Pardon my rambling. I am usually not this verbose here. How about other inland applicants here? Do you mind sharing the timeline of your home visa office if you had gone outland and do you ever have second thoughts. I know when you wake up with your partner every day... all the second thoughts fly out the window though ;D .
Suenim- I can't remember a time that case processing times have been this backlogged. It is our unfortunate luck, but just as you said... Waking up to your husband or wife each morning makes it worth it everyday. Just thinking of all the moments that I would have missed with my husband makes me appreciate having him here and having applied inland.
Question: Did anyone on here use a representative? If you did..did you and your rep recieve a copy of your AIP simultaniously?...or did you have to wait for your rep to contact you befor you knew anything?
