September 2011 - Here we go!

[kurt]

I see that u r gg to quebec. yah there is that additional for ur side termed as CSQ.
your timeline is not bad for CIC-M response.... same as mine (i appld end of aug then approved end of oct).
I've read from several posts that Quebec does not make use of the e-cas to track ur applications
so better check ur emails or mailbox everytime if you got letter/s coming from singapore vo.

as for me, my wife got dm to sponsor on oct25 and my papers sent to singapore same time but didnt get any aor from singapore until one day when i check my e-cas appeared "application rcvd" on 1st wk of dec, then after 2days it went "in process" - when clicked i see

We received application for permanent residence on Aug 26, 2011.
We started processing on Dec 8, 2011.
Medical results have been received.

so far no letters/notices received. only have my address disappearing on e-cas last jan27 until now.
i'm hoping there will be an update sooner or later.

i don't have much idea on timeline for singapore vo (based on CIC stats 1st 20% of applicants gets processed on the 1st 6mos... also singapore has one of the longest timeframe at 22mos). on this forum only a few of us are posting but based from several posts one lady got approved abt 5mos (from time applied to rcv her visa, she also lived here in singapore)... some of them living outside singapore got timelines 9mos or more. but i guess really depends on ur luck, completeness of application with all supporting docs, the visa officer who handles the case and lots more. good luck and offer more prayers that we'll be granted visas soon.

the spreadsheets were generated by the guys who started the thread. u can ask them to add in ur name that u can track and compare ur timeline with others.

oh thats great budd...you are a month ahead of me, by the way are u a local here in Singapore?

So there was a quarterly update for spouse pr processing times. My VO has no change - still at 11-month average.
Are there any significant changes in processing times at anyone's VO? Please share.

Hello, an update to my case - it's now transferred from Buffalo to New York for processing.

I'm happy that you got some movement in your file. I think it's a good sign to be transferred to a satellite office, as it expedites processing.

philippines deducted for 1 month from 10 to 9...thats gud

Wow, you guys will be processed even faster than before!

Sweet! My VO (Sao Paulo) went down 1 month from 10 to 9

Wow, that's a progress!

Vienna went down 1 month , from 9 to 8

Nice!

Berlin went up by 2 (from 9 to 11)

That's strange! But so far I've seen people from Berlin VO getting processed faster than that. So you still have a hope!

 

[GOGOGO]

Finger crossed. Hope yours get processed soon!

I'm happy that you got some movement in your file. I think it's a good sign to be transferred to a satellite office, as it expedites processing.
