First of all i would want to greet all the folks who read this forum. I think this is very knowledgeble, and a special hi to PMM.
I filed my application in Buffalo, while i was on a work permit in Canada. My application was received by the buffalo office in September 2005. I got my file number in two months. I had to leave Canada as my status expired. I came back to India(home country).
In January 2007 I got a letter from Buffalo which said that they have refused my application. I fought for my rights, as I thought that i qualify. I had spent 3 years in Canada. I paid all my taxes while working. To cut the long story short, my file was reopened. They asked me to send all the documents afresh in may 2007. I sent in all the documents again in first week of June 2007. I got a reply from buffalo in november and was called in for an interview. The interview was scheduled in Buffalo on 16th Jan.
I have a 10 yrs multiple entry tourist visa for USA. So, i flew to Bufflo, appeared for the interview. Everything was sorted out. They wanted some documents from my university. I arranged them and finally i got a letter from buffalo asking to get my medicals done.
I got my medicals done from the USA and they reached Ottawa on 9th April 2008. My e-cas still shows IN PROCESS. and when i click on the link, the last thing it says is that "Interview scheduled in buffalo on 16th January 2008".
Now, my question is:
1. How long could it take from here?
2. Can I fly to Buffalo to get my visa stamped (as i cant send my passport out of India)
3. I haven't deposited my Right of Landing fee, should i wait for further instructions?
PMM PLEASE HELP.
