First, thank you very much for the invitation, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to introduce to you Burke Thornton and Catherine Bailey, who are from our office in Buffalo. Burke is the area director responsible for all the U.S. mission. He is also responsible for the office in the Caribbean. So he's the area director of the first group you met here two weeks ago. The office in Buffalo has produced the most visas of any office that CIC has. Burke is going to describe what they do.
