VIENNA OFFICE

[GreenAnia]

May 29th 2017 applicant here. Got BCG on Feb 2nd. Then a couple days later got a request for fingerprinting RCMP criminal record check done. Which was fun to do from Germany for my partner. Still waiting on results back from the RCMP.

Also as the sponsor, do I have to say to CIC that I have moved to Germany while the sponsorship is in process?

Hi there, are you a Canadian permanent resident or citizen? If you’re a premanent resident you’re required to stay in Canada during the entire process for spousal sponsorship, and if you left should return as soon as possible. If you’re a citizen then you’re fine and you don’t need to inform CIC.

So I contacted someone through a friend of a friend that is fairly high up in the in immigration processes, his responds which I am not pleased to say was for Vienna visa office average current turn over rate is 16 months... they are trying to get it down to 12 months. This is what I was told and I am devastated in all honesty but I wanted to notify everyone that may want a legitimate wait time or (mean) according to him for wait times at the Vienna visa office. hoping for earlier turn overs, good luck to everyone.

I really hope it isn't 16 months because that would be really devastating for all of us... Let's hope the wait time is 12 months of less because I was looking at last year's spreadsheet and most of the Vienna applicants had their decision made and landed after 8-1/2 months.

I did the same thing it looked like in the 6-8 month turnover range for most applicants but I don't know, that was all the information I was given.. im only 6 months in another 10 would be horrible and a lot of unnecessary expenses of me travelling to visit.. hopefully we see progress though

Hello guys.
This is an update from me.
This morning I saw the online tool saying decision made.
Finally I got to this point, any idea how long until I have my papers in my hand.
Up to this point this was a really long journey with a ton of waiting.
I really hope it's going to be over soon.
Good luck to everybody else hope your papers comes soon.

Hey @RinaMuhaxhiri I remember you wrote earlier that you submitted a formal complaint to Vienna. Did you ever hear anything back from them? We’re waiting until about 3 months have passed since they started the background check processing (which will be beginning/middle of March) to request GCMS notes. I’m not expecting to hear from them at all for the next several months though...given their reputation...

Hey! no they never responded unfortunately. I have a feeling it will be a long journey so I am booking a two week trip in April to go and visit my husband. I’m going to go surprise him LOL
