It's been almost 2 months since Buffalo closure and their "file transfer"(could have physically walked from Buffalo to another office!!!). Wondering anyone out there hear anything? If these transferred files will be placed at the end of the queue with the new office?

What about for non-American residents living in the United States? Where would their files be ending up as a Canadian visa needs to be granted if there would be an interview in Ottawa?

if interview will be there obviously would not be in Ottawa.
so it should be in one of the visa offices here- LA, Seattle, New York, Detroit
it doesnt matter whether you are the permanent resident or citizen of US when filing for spousal sponsorship of Canada
the thing matters is you are the applicant who is filing from US. as Buffalo office is closed so Ottawa is doing everything and if interview comes up then the applicant cannot go to Ottawa then they have think of the visa office near your location
I hope there would be no interview for me
