1. How much time it'd take is hard to guess, 'coz it depends on case-to-case basis. However, usually the processing should complete by 2 yrs.
2. No, it doesn't mean that Buffalo has done with your verifications. It just means that your complete case has been transferred to Detroit. It's hapenning with many, yours is not a perticular case. This new CHC will now do it's due diligence.
After our case was transfer we received medicals request and interview was waived.
File Transfer to Detroit : 05/17/2010
In Process : 05/28/2010
Medicals Request: 06/15/2010
You should get In Porcess soon. But you may check with other this was 4 months ago. Maybe now is faster or slower.
I know how it feels to be waiting. We applied last year August 2009. The first step was quick by October our case was approved by Nova Scotia and instruction to send full application to Buffalo was sent to us (10/5/2009). After that we submitted full application October 14th then our case was sat down for 8 months. No change no news until it was transferred to Detroit. Since that everything moved quickly but still the wait was not over. After medical were sent to Ottawa, we wait 3 long months to receive PPR and now we are waiting again to receive our passport back with the visa, this can take 2 months.
If you count the time, it took for our case, without interview and no more documents requested, 12 months to be approved. Then the only thing I can say is be patient and it will come. Check with others to see how timeframe changes in time. When I was waiting for PPR there were people waiting for it since MAY. Then I started to see some progress and people started to receiving PPR within 3 to 4 months. Now there are people receiving it in one month. But this can change in the future.
