Hi, experts:
I am may applicant, my application changed to In process with line of " your application were reviewd and started process on April 13, 2012."
Today, I recived a call from Buaffalo visa office asking me why I have filed refugee calim in Canada.
I have made this claim in May 2011 as result of war and fear of return to my country.
They asked me this claim will make troubles to me down the road. They asked me if I want to continue with my PR application or not?

My calim for refugee was accepted at CIC office and refered to IRB and I wait for my hearing. when I applied for refugee, I told the immigration officer that I have PR application and my status in Canada is study permit. He said that is okay, you can have the two application in the same time since the refugee application is not PR. Only those acceptted by IRB can apply for PR under protected person.

I need to call back Buffalo VO and address their question. How I can answer thier question without effecting my PR application?
Please experts let me know your opinion.
Thanks

Consult a lawyer, something you should have done before claiming refugee status.

You have to know that a Refugee Claimant Hearing can take up to 24 months. So, you have to worry about that. Good luck!

Actually as SenoritaBella said, you should consult a lawyer.
