Hi everyone. my update is phone call from MP office on friday, stating that a letter is being sent to my husband on the 22nd of May, with all instructions/information he needs.?? my question is this PPR? the lady at the MP office seemed to think so. Do they send by mail? I figured email... anyway am sitting on pins and needles waiting to see what it is..

Holy crud I got my PPR!!! I can't believe it! I burst into tears upon seeing the email and frantically phoned my husband at work. I got it by email today from Seattle. I am so tempted to reply and tell them how much I love them for processing so quickly. :D

Gogogo if you want to please update me on the spreadsheet and maybe the transfers one too if that is still active. I feel like I should say more but my brain has melted.

Thank you! I know this short time is unheard of. I think it was Seattle being quick, not Buffalo..lol

I have heard of things being sent regular postal mail. My sponsor approval was sent postal mail even though we provided them an email address. So I will keep my fingers crossed that your letter is your PPR!

WE Finally got PPR !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :D ;D :D ;D lol

we sent in the documents on august 18 so it has been 9 month. It was done in Detroit. The funny thing is we were waiting for so long and sent them a paragraph long email yesterday about what we should do and why its taking so long. They replied back that evening saying it will be soon. So we thought they were stalling as usual. Then this morning we get the email for PPR so I think that email pushed them to look into it more??

anyways my wife is with me right now in canada should we send the passport from canada or cross the border and mail if from the US?
also for the return should we get them to mail it back to the states or to canada does it matter?
Congrats JayJay!

Hi Ambber29, I think they only stopped same-day non-immigrant services. Note: NYQUE did his interview on April 25th and got visa on the same day.

Your interview is about a month away, have you ordered GCMS yet?

Ambber29 said:
Hi,

My husband's interview is held next month. Did they stop issuing visas on the same day?
He is on F1.

Thanks
