Also good luck to you too. Fingers crossed for all of us are waiting for the final stage.

I am new to the forum! Wishing I found this forum befores starting the process, though we have only hit one big hurdle...suppose that is not so bad. Wondering if I can be added to the spreadsheet, as well? Here is my info

App mailed: Sept 28th
App received: Oct 3rd
Sponsor approved: Dec 5th
AOR from Buffalo received: Dec 28th
Medical results have been received

Buffalo requested FBI check and RPRF paid. RPRF paid online on 12/28 and FBI document mailed 1st week of January. Mid Feb VO office did not receive FBI document- deadline is days away. Assuming it was lost in the mail. Anyway, 2nd FBI doc mailed yesterday and now I'm hopefully just waiting for them to receive and review.

Does anyone know how long it can possibly take to review this document since my file is in process? Do you think I can hope for a shorter processing time since I have no criminal records? What would the next steps be?

Any advice is appreciated!!

No worries, if you have a PPR than it means that your visa it's about to be issued, or the decision it's already made...I don't thik your wife will be called for an interview...

oh i see...but the question is, how long are we gonna wait. :) because i think that the status changes to DM before the PPR is requested...how many months usually that it takes? 2 months max?

You and I are in almost exactly the same position. Since they've asked for the RPRF (which makes no sense if they're not ready to issue the visa absent some surprise in the background check), I'm hopeful for a response before October (11 months from sponsorship approval), but the sad reality is we applied at the end of September and nobody from the Buffalo September group has been approved yet.

I doubt we'll be the first.

Thanks for the reply tim maguire! No one from the sept. group has been finalized yet? OH NO! I could have sworn that I have seen some from Oct/Nov finalized. I keep hoping to hear some good news soon but it just seems like it's a hopeless wait. Well, I hope our group starts hearing something! Likewise, who knows....maybe we'll be surprised one of these days soon! Please keep me posted on your situation and I'll do the same with mine. Here's hoping for all of us Septemberarians :)
