Hey, has anyone gone to the Buffalo office for visa stamping? Do they return passports same day ( they say so on the website) and how many hours does it take to get passports back?

Thanks

Hey everyone,

Even RPRF was sent and received by the CIC office on April 12th (that means App fee, FBI/Police report and Meds were done way b4 that).... Also, I did an email on Agust 4th (4 months after RPRF was sent), reiterating my interest in moving, showing concerns about the delay etc... and got a reply, " our records show that your application is "in process" and we can't provide status on your application"....

Now the questions is ..... "Is it about time (another 3 months after last email, making a grand total of 7 months of waiting after RPRF sent) that I write another email asking them about... What the heck is going on .... why is it taking so long?" .....

Is there anyone else for whom it took this long just to get a Passport request?? everything has been sent as requested... makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Please feel free telling me that its going to be okay.......... NOT!!!!

I think a period of 8 months is pretty long - they should've at least updated to mention your meds are received. I'd think you are justified in checking on status of your application.

Hi,

In most of the cases the status changes to 'Medicals Received' after the PPR is sent out. Do you think by any chance you missed the PPR mail in spam or junk email? That could be a possibility or I may be wrong.

Thanks,
L.B

ur scaring me dude... but this is very unlikely because i have been receiving emails before, even the auto-generated responses, in my inbox and not the junk mail folder.... i am guessing the email for PPR would be same and will land in my right mailbox ...Also this is way too important for them too that they wud send a reminder or something or my status on website wud'nt say "In Process" or when i emailed them back in August they wud've mentioned that I didnt respond to their PPR... dont u agree?

Hi,

Sorry I did not mean to scare you. I am want to be a help to you rather than scaring :) My interpretation is based on what others have shared on the forum where the status changes to medicals received is along side with the PPR. I dont know if they do send a reminder. IMO you should check with CIC about your case to avoid futher delays.


Thanks,
L.B

Ditto. This will be my approach to this: If I were to see a change in my eCAS status from "in process" to "Medical report received" I'd expect RPRF/PPR in the subsequent 2 or 3 weeks. After that wait I will follow up to check on the application.

I think contacting them again and requesting the details on hold up would be great.

You should mention about the date for PPR and details about that cashiers check/money order...

Good Luck..!

Thanks for ur suggestions guys ... i was planning to wait till the end of this month but now i should be writing this email within few hours... lets see how that goes.... and even last time when i wrote 'em an email I did mention the whole timeline but only thing that changed was my status saying Meds received.... Will do that again (mentioning time line)

All,

I just checked my online status and it has following updates besides " We started processing your application... "

"Medical results have been received. " Now How long do I have to wait before I get PPR? Does any one see similar updates on their online status?

Thanks,
