My question was more related to the behaviour of Vienna VO irrespective of the visa class applied
I also want to knw about the behaviour of mycic account e.g. how long it takes to reflect an update on mycic as in my opinion the update took 20 days to reflect is that possible?
What was specifically updated in MyCIC? The Background check line?
The behaviour of the VO differs per application type because the processes are different. e.g. family class requires a medical done upon request (which may be asked by the VO, or CPC-M), whereas express entry requires the medical to be done after the ITA but before the application is submitted.
Perhaps more importantly, for a family class application the visa office is much more involved in determining the legitimacy of a relationship which isn't a factor at all in EE. Family Class Applications sit at the Visa Office for quite some time before being finalized and Many people see no updates for months at a time after their file is transferred to Vienna. For EE, if I'm not mistaken, the VO only issues the Visa and CoPR letter if no interview is required. However, you did require an interview so that, presumably, took place in Vienna?
EE timelines are generally 6 months, whereas family class applications take up to a year for 80% of cases.
Because the processes and the VO involvement is so different between the two, I don't think that people's experiences with Vienna here are any indication to your case unless they've gone through EE themselves. I still think your question might better be asked in the EE section of the forum because there is a higher chance of someone there having experience with the process you are going through than in this particular thread.
