hi guys
its my first post under this thread.. well I am getting really impatient now coz its been 45 days since I sent my passport..i ws expectin my visa by now..:(
my timeline is below:
Applied at Mississauga: 7th July,2010
Sponsorship Approved: 9th Aug,2010
PPR received: 23rd Aug, 2010
Passport reached New delhi: 25th Aug, 2010
and now waiting for the visa..
Could anyone pllz tell me how much more time its goin to take for the visa..??.
Gud luck to all!!!!!

I could be very wrong, but I thought that New Delhi asked for the PPR when they got the file, instead of at the end of the process like other areas.
 
can_usa_97...I thought so too, at least that seems to be the pattern in the forum.
 
I am kicking myself for waiting 3 weeks to mail off my FBI cert. I am certain this is why I'm delayed.
They've now had it 3 weeks though, so I was hopeful.
Soon, I hope.
 
Finally my spouse got the PPR. So now on to the final wait in this process god willing.... Will be sending it out on Monday. Keep it moving ND and congrats to all those who are already done :)

Good luck to all!
 
Just trying to clean up the table a little bit., making it easier to read.
