Hi, below is my timeline for my spousal application. I am a US Naturalized Citizen born in India and my wife is a Canadian citizen. Any others out there with a similar timeline. I applied to Buffalo and they received the application on 10/27/2011. Below is the last message I got from CIC on 10/17/2012 giving me some hope. Any information or advice would be helpful.
Thank you for your enquiry. I verified your application and the file was transferred to
this office following the closure of Buffalo. We ask for your understanding that we are
now working through a large number of files which have been transferred at the same
time.
You should hear from an agent within the next two months.
