Hi...even mine is March 2010 case, in process since April 2011 with address missing since yesterday ....fyi only. Personally don't think address disappearing makes any difference...its has happened umpteen times earlier.

Happy though that CIC is updating its processing time lines regularly...for NDVO from 10 to 14 months to 15 and now 16 months. Wonder if the time lines are from the date/month the file was transferred to NDVO or from the date/month of 2nd file number?

As per a forum :-* ;D Yesterday around 11 applicants from feb-early april 2010 got status in process with address disappeared from our different threads.
indian,KDSTL,chintan,nano,simpsoja,sunnysliten,mehulca,hiteshdand,sandhuhar,sukhi_boy,deepty,shairala etc.
Means newdelhi visa office opened files till early april 2010 who got file transfer dates in their e-cas status and those who recieved 1ST AOR from CIO before 28 september2010 got file transfer dates lines in their e-cas while those who recieved 1ST AOR after 28 september 2010 are having UCI number and no file transfer dates in their e-cas .

It means Newdelhi visa office will start working on those files who have file transfer date in their e cas at this time.

Dear All Members,

the new processing times is for previous period from 1st,Jully 2010 to 30th,June 2011. and all of us(pre June 2010) has aleady passed one year or more , so the remaining waiting time should be 15 months only. this 15 monts including medical request,interviews,additional documens..etc

in my opinion the next year will be more active for us.

best wishes to all of you friends

Guys,

I have recived the communication from Buffalo (on Nov 2nd) stating that my file has been transfered to Seattle In order to expedite the processing of my PR. And they said not to request the status of my file within ninety (90) days of the date of this letter.

I hope this is a good sign.

Any one knows how long would it takes in Seattle?

Thanks,
Krish.
