Maybe some person with knowledge/experience can help me to clarify this.
I basically have 2 cases pending right now, I applied for FSW in 2008 and CEC in 2009.
CEC case took off faster initially and I know Ottawa had my medicals and Buffalo had my RPRF fee by August 2009. However, I was put on background check (in Buffalo office), so CEC has slowed down drastically. I don't expect passport request to come for CEC case until mid-2010.
FSW case was transferred to Seattle this summer and today, 9th of December, I got request for medicals and RPRF (from Seattle this time).
I know I can write and tell them that I have done medicals in advance and Ottawa can confirm it, no problem with this, but the question is RPRF. Do I have to pay it twice? I doubt so 'cause it's a fee for permanent residence. But the problem is Buffalo has a proof that it's been paid (money order) and they have cached it some time ago.
1) What can I tell Seattle regarding my already paid RPRF fee? That I paid it in context of another case to Buffalo? I only have a customer part of money order receipt.
2) Also, does it mean that I have background check on me in Buffalo implies that it will slow down my Seattle case, in other words is BC a global (per person) or local (per case) thing, so is there a possibility that case in Seattle will be finalized faster?
