Discuss Fretwork's Family Class USCIS Case

I just showed up on ECAS for the first time, but there aren't any updates yet. The processing times page for family class sponsorship applications says they're working on applications received up to April 7th, so hopefully my sponsorship is approved tomorrow!

Congrats on your sponsorship being approved. The days start whizzing by from now on. NOT!!

Best Wishes!!!!

Hi, I´m usually tracking your case, because we have the same timelines! our applications were both sent on April 8th, and approval on April 30t, but I´m in Mexico and my husband sponsoring me in Canada. So good luck for all of us!!

hi there, i am two days behind you. hope yours is done in quick time. please keep updating. will help me plan my move :) what is the link to check what date they are on?

Hi funinagg,

You can see how far along they are in processing sponsorship applications at the following link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/canada/process-in.asp#perm_res

Unfortunately there is no similar timeline for permanent residency applications, just the sponsorship portion of them.

right. no link for dates/status in buffalo. they are processing sponsorship applications quickly. but buffalo seems slow and is not transparent.

Yes, some transparency from Buffalo would be great, but at least things seem to be speeding up compared to years past. Most applications seem to be complete in less than 6 months.

right. i think it takes two months or less from the date sponsorship application is approved.

Hi, still no AOR?

My AOR arrived May 24th

That is good news. You got the mail on 24th? Did they say anything about whether the file will remain in Buffalo or go to some other office? Thanks!

No AOR yet. It looks like vmungua's case is being processed in Mexico City.

Oops, that's 'vmunguia'.

Ah. I just assumed it was you who responded. Well together we wait then!

Hi guys! It was me, sorry, my application is being processed in Mexico city, but as we have almost the same timelines, and still is North America, I´m taking it as a guiding point. I don´t know how the process is in Buffalo, but i´m pretty sure we will have similar timelines.
So if the info is useful for you, they got my application in Mexico city May 8th, started processing may 21st and medicals received (ecas) , AOR letter received May 24th.

We will be waiting all together!

Received an AOR letter dated June 3rd yesterday. Today my ECAS case showed up as in processing along with "Medical results received".

Congrats & here's hoping to a speedy finish

great! lets see if mine is transferred this week...

YES!!!!!! Just received my passport request from Detroit!

Congrats!!!!!! Great news......yay!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!! now you can celebrate!! my best wishes for you!!!
