Ici c'est un forum d'information, nous ne sommes pas des avocats ou immigration et citoyenneté. C'est un forum public, et ce lien est concernant le parrainage de mari ou femme par le bureau de visa de Buffalo. Rien a avoir avec un visa pour un emploi au canada.
Bonne Chance!

Hi all. I thought I would get in on this convo. I have just been sticking to the January 2012 applicants, but I am a Buffalo too!

I'm the PA. App was received on January 5, 2012. We were told via phone that husband was approved to sponsor me on 3/28/12 but haven't received anything via mail. Never received an AOR. Would you add me to the spread sheet??

:)

I opted not to use a Channeler, our certificates, including posting to Canada only took six weeks.

Thanks Pigey. Did you write anything on the envelope down to process urgently or sent a cover letter to process urgently when you sent it to fbi fingerprinting?

No... but I did send via overnight mail, with a cover letter specifying where I wanted the letter sent to and I sent to the following address:

FBI CJIS Division – Record Request
Attn: SCU, Mod D-2
1000 Custer Hollow Road
Clarksburg, WV 266306-0001

I was really surprised at the timeline. Six weeks is unheard of. I hope this helps!

We ordered ours in beginning of december and received it mid-February, just make sure to fill in everything properly and you should be fine we did not use a channeler either, he went to the local police station and got his finger prints done, got a money order and voila!

I did mine at the beginning of January 2012 and had the letter back by mid-February. I used FedEx and provided them with my account number for the return as well. So, it can go quickly, but budget 8-12 weeks when done by mail (I've not tried a channeler, since I read on one of the websites that such reports was not accepted by CIC - but perhaps that is changing.)
