New York Consulate

[kevkev]

Hello All,

For CEC immigration class:

I got this message on my on-line status "We started processing your application on March 25, 2011.

We transferred your application to the New York office on June 22, 2011. The New York office may contact you."

My questions are:- 1) When can I expect the medical requests?

2) How long does it take after the medical requests?

3) Is NY the slowest consulate out there?

Thanks,

My questions are:- 1) When can I expect the medical requests?
2) How long does it take after the medical requests?
3) Is NY the slowest consulate out there?

1) I don't know, but if you live in Canada, I would do medicals ASAP, "in advance". More info at the link below.
2) Possibly 2-5 months after you do your medicals.
3) Based on the past year or so, I'd say yes. Or tied with LA for the honour.

The best source of information about processing times is the trackitt.com tracker: http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/canadian-experience-class Look for cases being processed at New York. All cases are different, but you can get an idea of "typical" times in the recent past: time from AOR to medical request, time from medicals done to passport request, etc.
