I am in the same situation and I wish I could know when they would request my family's passorts?? My wife received a pre arrival letter and passed the medical examination and she does not need to give her biometrics because she had it two years ago. All that happened within one week of submitting her docs. Did your husband get an eligibility letter after medical passed? When did you apply for pr? Please let me know. ThanksHi, I got my PR and I send all required documents for permanent residence for my husband to Vienna office. In one week they are open his file and asked for medical exam and same day they sent to him pre arrival letter. He don't need any biometrics because he passed it 2 years ago then it is still working. Last week he got medical exam and we send them email that he passed it. Then what time line usually after medical exam?? Usually how long need time for get passport request??
