I know the feeling, bonitanita. Sigh... Come on CIC! Thrilled for the end of May/early June folks who are receiving good news, but wishing that those patiently waiting who filed before them in April and May will have reason to do happy dances sooner rather than later. I believe we are all barcode applicants too...

Same here. We hustled like mad to get everything together and our application well organized as soon as possible thinking the sooner we filed, the sooner we'd get approval. Sigh... :'(

Actually, there was no significance in the colour other than it helps to keep reading on the same line. I was just separating lines. Anyway, I've changed it now if that suits you all better.
thanks bonitanita

I have good news for you. I looked up Rome and here are the stats. If your case is straightforward, you will be in the 20%. Some get it even faster than that.

Rome: 20% of cases completed within 5 months, 30% in 5 mo., 50% in 7 mo., 70% in 9 mo., 80% in 11 mo.

thanx for the effort and for the info... seems 20% and 30% are both 5 months. weird but nice !!!...

i will say 7 months to be sure. i think my case could not be more straightforward than it is but still !!!... rome may get many many applicants because of the current situation in europe. so application received may 8, approval let's say august 10, +7 months = end of february, mid march 2013...

we'll see... it's still a long long time
