@ Rinnerz,
Your situation is really terrible, and I feel bad for you, and also hope that it gets resolved quickly. You have been invaluable to the forum with your insights for the group.
It appears that buffalo post just tried to eliminate the temporary visa situation so people could visit canada during the summer months. I hope they have completely eliminated the backlog, and can get restarted on family class permanent resident visas. I don't know what to make of this anymore as from this site their has been almost no movement this week. I do hope that all of us hear soon as I miss my wife and son dearly.
@ dhd - I agree. I just looked at the timesheet for January and February folks, and theirs looks like ours with people from all over the world including new dehli, acrra ghana, london, the phillipines, mexico getting their Permanent residency before people from buffalo. Buffalo seems to be the slow one for January and February groups as well as all the visa offices have issued pprs. Of course, February people are a bit delayed based on timelines. I am not to cast blame, but something odd seems to be appearing in buffalo, and I am not sure that they are presently the most efficient in the world as these other visa offices have been very efficient. My guess is that the computer system that rolled out was done in the US first, but it must have had some major computer glitches as not functional for at least 1-2 months. Now they are transitioning, and it isn't working very well. Purely conjecture though....My guess, and hope is that they have figured it out, and next week we start hearing some good news
@ Romain - thnx last week for responding to my questions about the reply I received from the visa offices. Hope that NY has replied to your email, and you get IA.
From looking at past posts, it appears that when they say medicals have been received, the next stage is decision made which should happen soon for those people that have it changed. From past posts, this means the security check is done. We shall see....
