Thank you so much for the information.
How much time does it usually/approximately take for them to contact us back
after they have completed the initial assessment? I know everyone has a
different time frame but am just anxious to know, if possible, from your
experience.
I read on Buffalo site that they are assessing applications of November
2002. My file number was created in October 2002 so I believe they have
already assessed my application.
Thanks a bunch again.
