Yes, CONGRATULATIONS BEANTOWN. ;D ;D ;D

My husband got his PPR the same day as you. His passport is in Buffalo now. He plans to land early October. Getting excited as well.

It's over. Give your husband a big Welcome to Canada!!!!!!

sigh wish i could have any sign of life from buffalo can't wait for the PPR

the only good thing my wife is coming for the long weekend now if only she had her visa

Still no AOR for us ....but "In-process" on e-cas when I looked on August 31st, it said that application is in process since Aug 27th ...oh well, hopefully today....

 

[jancath410]

Taking it back. Husband called to let me know he rec'd the AOR on the mail today! Wohoooooo! uhhmm....what's next again?

 

[kerianne]

PPR!! Good luck! I'm still waiting for mine!

 

[jancath410]

Oh, right! More waiting....I hope yours is on the way! Like I said before, it's funny how we wait for weeks and weeks and then we become excited for a few hours only to realize there's more waiting to do! But glad we got it before the long weekend! Happy Labour Day, everyone!

So I haven't gotten an AOR, but they sent me a letter today (which went to my parent's place, so obviously they disregarded my address change) saying my file was transferred to New York City to 'expedite'.

I hope this isn't terrible news... so will I get an AOR from NYC then?

It only means that they're very busy in Buffalo and they're trying to spread out the workload. I have not idea if you'll get an AOR -- I'm not even sure that Buffalo always sends them after what I've read.

I wouldn't even care that much except that now I have to mail my passport to NYC and I don't have those bar code stickers... but I suppose I could just write my file number on there.. right?

I've heard a lot of horror stories about NYC... I hope that it's not going to be so bad. According to their website their processing times are about the same as Buffalo (6 months 'normal' processing time, they don't give a range), so we'll see.

I may try to contact NYC in a couple of weeks to find out more.

Did you get a passport request? I wonder why yours went to Ny but not ours. Not that I'm complaining. Just wondering what makes the difference

 

[sbwv09]

No, just thinking ahead.

I WISH mine was in Buffalo.. now I will have to mail my passport and wait up to an extra month to land after I'm approved! I've also heard lots of bad things about lost FBI files, etc.

I'm just praying for the best... that's really all I can do.

[sbwv09]
