I am new to this thread.. I also applied in FSW2 last year March.
since then its RBVO :(

Dont know why buffalo is so slow! Hoping to get some updates soon...

Looking at the tracking sheet seems buffalo has started with Oct 2010 applications.. so i think it will take another 6 months for my application to even become in-progress, very disappointing..

So I emailed cic buffalo asking them to expedite the application process. Got a reply that we are currently processing applications sent in 2010 and it will take a few more months for you to hear from us. They also said that my file has yet to be assessed by a visa officer and once that is done I will be sent a medical request.

I was wondering whether I should get my medicals done right now which might save me some time.. any thoughts?

I would suggest not to do the medicals now,they specificaly told it may take some months..until then hold...
It looks it may take some more months(atleast 3 month)for 2011 applicants.
