ONLY - Who submitted CIC-AINP(SRS-U.S. Visa Holder Category) application

[lettuce_tomatoes]

Althouh they have not clarified this through the language used on their website, its is evident that it is on average taking 11 months from the date of application recieved by CIC

ok, so we if I go by your logic, if its 11 months since the day they started processing your application, they you should receive your ppr tiin May. In which case, you'll lose a month in getting your pp stamped, which leaves you practically no time to land.

I think its 11 months since you submit your application. So, by mid Jan, you've reached your 11 months.

It must be Protech Immigration then. All those fools put togeather do not even know half of what Manny (our friend on this forum) knows.

Yes, I did know, and I spoke to my attorney, and they advised that the file had to be sent to Buffalo.

It is not protech.

And you're right; they probably did not give me the right advice because they would have lost a client midway through the process.

my ecase status changed to :Medical results have been received.

One of my friend is in a similar situation. In July 2010, I pleaded him to submit his application to New Delhi as it seems to process applications faster in the PNP stream but he chose the Buffalo route cuz the "attorney" adviced him.

Result?: Its been 6 months now, he has not even recieved medical request. Besides that, the logistical challenges of sending the PP to Buffalo remains large.

The only reason I retained the attorney after my application to CIC, was because I needed some representative who could receive my AOR/Medicals. If I had turned in my application to Delhi, there really would be no need for them. If only I knew then what I know now.

Hi Chi Girl

I think you or your attorney did the right thing filing at buffalo consulate...As we fall under AINP H1-B process. I think Delhi consulate would have returned the application to you or transferred to Buffalo for further processing. I might be wrong too !! just a input.

 

[lettuce_tomatoes]

I understand what you say

Lets hope CIC quits dragging their heels and get some PPRs.

I hope those who are stuck with Bufflo will be spared the another round of file transfer and the 2-3 months delay that comes with it.

After I moved to India, I asked CIC Buffalo if they could have my file transfered and this is what they had to say:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada and your request to have your file transferred.

Visa offices are not required to transfer applications upon the request of an applicant or their designated representative, but will transfer files only if that transfer would enhance program integrity.

You have the option of withdrawing your application at our office and re-applying for a permanent resident visa to a visa office where you have been lawfully admitted for at least one year or to the visa office that is responsible for your country of nationality. Please refer to our website to determine the responsible visa office:

So, you do have the option of sending your file to Delhi. However, need clarification as what the officer meant when withdrawing and reapplying - I presume he meant the CIC application only, and not the whole AINP/nomination thing.

Also, at that time, I let it be, because during March and April of last year, processing was much faster. People were getting medicals within a couple of months and passport requests a couple of months after. We never expected this kind of delay

In any case, timeline wise, from the posts that I've seen for Delhi, their time line has slowed down as well.

Chigirl,

You moved to india after submitting your application to the CIC. Did you have any advance knowledge that you will be moving to india?

If yes, i want to learn why you chose to submit ur file to buffalo VO which was taking 11 months to process even in 2010, besides the the challenges of sending the passport overseas.

On the other hand, according to the processing times tracked on the CIC website, its taking on 6 months for New Delhi to process the cases....

Did you attorney advice you to take buffalo route instead of New Delhi?

My attorney tried to submit the documents to Buffalo, but she was told by CIC to submit to New Delhi since I had already moved. It happened just 2 days before my deadline to submit.

But if you look at my timeline, 6 months as the website says is for the 80% of the cases and most of us on the forum seem to be in the remaining 20% for some reason. My application looks very good and I got PPR along with AOR, but for some reason they have not decided on my application yet. My passport is sitting on their desk forever. The reply for an inquiry regarding the passport status was generic and mentioned that my application is awaiting review by the visa officer.
