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.

If you check on the CIC website. NYC office doesn't issue PR visa!!!!

NORMAL PROCESSING TIMES (From date of receipt at a Visa office. This period does not include mailing time)

Permanent Residence:
Family class

*Spouse, common-law partner, children: 6 months
* Parents and grand-parents: 10 months

I don't think it's their usual forte, but they do process PR visas.

I think it's possible Buffalo is speeding up. My husband sent his passport to Buffalo on August 27th and got it back with his Landing Visa/COPR on September 4th! Not bad for Buffalo

Hope this helps cheer you up. ;D

On letter it stated: Passports cannot be returned to addresses outside of India, Nepal and Bhutan.
