  I?m sure all this situation must be disheartening to you...but I agree with John, you shouldn?t take those stats too seriously because I have the same timeline as John although the stats say otherwise...

Here is actually a theory that I posted on Paris timeline:

Here is another theory...

Under the new transitional rule, anyone who applied before June 28, 2002 could be reassessed under the new passmark. According to processing time statistics on CIC site, 30% of applicants in Paris got their visas within 30 months and 80% got their visas within 43 months.

Since the statistics show the processing time for applications that were finalized between April 2004 and March 2005, we can conclude that those applications that got finalized were the ones sent between January 2001 and June 2002.
That tells me that most of the applications finalized between October 2004 and March 2005 were the ones that were frozen and had to be reassessed. In December the CIC chart gave statistics of 12 months for 80% of the cases, which then represented applications sent in 2003. Today, the backlog as of December 2004 for Paris is around 7000 as the target for 2005 is around 11,500 ( http://www.immigrate.net/law/en/VisasLaws/Default.asp ). This should mean that this backlog is mostly made of 2004 applications which should all get at least an IA or interview request sometime this year.

I wrote this theory a couple of months a go and I actually did receive my IA letter this month.
Also, even if you had to reapply, with a letter of explanation, I?m sure they?ll take that into account to process you file faster.

only downside to your theory is that the class action suit was not settled until March 2005. so your thinking might need to be switched around. They are cleaning up 2001 and 2002.

thanks for the encouragement. I really hope you are right. It is getting to be a bit much.

We have not seen each other in 18 months and the phone bills are killing me:) I have booked myself a plane ticket for Christmas. Way too much money! Hopefully having something to look forward to will help us through the first half of a wait and then we can begin the anticipation of his arrival after that.
