I had sent an email to Detroit last week to inform them about a change in contact info. Got an email from them yesterday stating the "the information has been printed and added to the file for the review".
This means they haven't done the review as yet - let alone beginning processing and medical request and so on. I was under the impression that only the files which had been reviewed by Buffalo were sent to satellite visa offices like Detroit. Now it seems that Buffalo didn't even do the review of the file, they just transferred it to Detroit. Some will review it again in Detroit before it can be processed. This seems like an awful lot of "back and forth" for nothing.
Hopefully I don't have to wait another six months before finding out its ineligible for processing. This is getting on my nerve now.

Since then, no word from Detroit. We just hope that the saying "no news is good news", is true in our case. ;D ;D ;D
