Hi rainy_june..
I am just shocked to hear that its 16 months for your application and you are still waiting for nomination...
You have filed an paper application. to check online application status you must have either,
Applied online OR
Registered first on the
SINP online portal and then mailing paper application.
But you should call them regarding your case and telling them its already more then the average time. which country do you belong?
What are they doing... i can understand that there would be a load of application and work.. but still they have claimed that SINP is faster then federal immigration process. which in your case is not true.
