So far I understand, you can indicate that you are already in the US with valid visa. My guess is that they were assuming you might be outside the US. As for the first question, I have no idea.

Re: Interview Schedule @ Buffalo VISA Center

I will suggest you to order CAIPS/GCMS notes immediately to see the status and comments made by the VO on your application to prepare yourself in advance.

Good luck to you..

Cheers..

Re: Interview Schedule @ Buffalo VISA Center 2011

@ Bonny ,, My Understanding is That its for those who are Outside of The US & since they have my current residential & Job Address & i've recived the notice by mail so i think they know that im in the US i'll mark Yes to the Valid US VISA Box just to be on the safe side.
@ Vermas ,, Thanks for the wishes & how do i Order the Caips & won't it effect my Interview Coz it probably will make me look suspicious in the Interviewer's eyes & How Long does it takes to recieve Caips once its ordered ....
Actually Im new to all this stuff...

Hello X-Brklynite, I had posted following on another thread. Hope its helpful to you. CAIPS notes are delivered in 4-6 weeks. It costs C$5-35, depending on agency you use. Google search "How to order CAIPS" and you will get a few options.

Cheers and best wishes,

CAIPS is used to find out what has happened to your application so far and get an indication of what will happen next with your file and when. You can get more info from the following links.

X-Brklynite,

---You must have received two letters. 1st one is about that you have been selected to appear on an interview and the time and date would be notified to you later on. After a few months or weeks, you received the 2nd letter about the time, date and place of the interview. Am I right? This is how CHC Singapore calls people on interviews. what happened in your case?

---Well said vermas. I am adding to his speech, CAIPS is released under the privacy act of Canada and every Canadian and outside applicants deserve the rights to see whats going on with their file to some extent using CAIPS. its applicants' legitimate right and does not harm the application process. You better had used lawpoint.ca as they charge much less; $25 and they deliver it within 45 days (6 weeks). I have ordered mine using it. anyways, lets see what comes out off your CAIPS. let us know all. it will indeed say what prompted the VO to select you for the interview. did you fail to provide any paper(s) they wanted from you?

----Immigration interviews are often called for bringing out some facts those CHC's dont want to be printed on papers, they might ask you for facts those they dont want to be recorded on their files rather they want the real fact, could be social or related to anything about the papers you provided to them. just keep in mind and have all the papers with you while you appear on the interview. rejection case in interviews are less than 1%.

best of luck !keep this thread alive. btw, you havent been told which papers to take to the interview? \
CAIPS will say all.

you can read this : http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t64188.0.html

that guy has also been called to an interview. the VO has doubts about 3 things. the applicant wouldnt have known those reasons in a concrete way had he not applied for the CAIPS.

rabecca,

they called you straight to an Interview or they 1st sent you a letter that you are on their interview list and they'd later notify you about the time,place and date of the Interview OR in a single letter they notified you about the place and time of the Interview. what do you think are the reasons for calling you to an interview; CAIPS will tell all though but just curious to know.
