If and as soon as we receive these instructions, we will apply them to our inventory of applications, starting first wit those received on 27 February 2008 and proceeding in chronological order. We will mail you a letter within 60 days of publication of the Minister's instructions, either to notify you:
a) that your application meets the criteria set forth in the Minister's instructions - and that, accordindly, we can proceed with its processing,
b) that your application does not meet the criteria set forth in the Minister's instructions. The application will be returned to you unprocessed, and you will in due course receive a full refund of all processing fees that you have submitted.

Mailed my application to Buffalo on feb 16th. They probably received it on 18th according to FEDEX.
application= feb 16th and AOR = May 6th..asked to do IELTS and scored 7.5,8.0,8.5 and 9.0.
Does anybody know if I am under the new rules or since I got a file number, am I free from the holdup?

Hi! I'm just curious. If I have a J1 visa here, in the US, for one year, can I apply for the professional immigration in Buffalo? I'm a grad student in the NY state. And what are the benefits of applying in Buffalo?
Thaks for any comments or suggestions! I'll appreciate it!

ivocka,
If you have lived in the US for 6 months (not sure if it's 1 year), you may apply through buffalo. the advantage is that buffalo is faster than many other processing centers. Not all though. so it depends on your country of permanent residence.

Ivochka,
my recommendation is for you to apply to check if Russia's processing center is faster than Buffalo. Let me know if you need the link.
If you must file through Buffalo, then you will need to do your FBI report befofre you leave. You will also need an address in the US that you will not change on file till this is all sorted out because once you change your address on file after you move to russia, they will transfer your file to russia and that will add more months/year to the timeline. So find an address in the US if you must use Buffalo office.
And do your FBI before leaving. If they call you for an interview, you may then fly back for the interview....that will be price of applying through buffalo.

Hi. I'm planning on immigrating to Canada next year as a skilled worker. I thought after reading the point system that it would be smarter to find a job first but seeing that it is taking 12+ months for everything to go through it doesn't seem to make sense. Can anyone clarify this issue? Should I apply for residence now then look for jobs 6 months+ from now?
asked to do IELTS within 120 days. i did it and sent score July 9th together with change of address, additon of a new child and change of job. Does anybody know if my package will be opened as soon as received or thrown together with all other new applications they are piling up till new rule is effective? I am scared they might not know that my package is just an additional evidence/docs with an established file number?
