Only your husband's passport needs to be sent in to be visa stamped. You are already a Canadian citizen so there is no reason for you to send your passport. You are definitely overthinking it!! :)

I know my brother went by car for his interview and it cost a lot. That's why I suggested mail :) Thanks so much, me and my husband are going to be in Toronto, you?

When I translated my documents here in Serbia the translator didnt include an affidavit as the stamp says everything, that she is certified and everything was okay. Vienna didnt cause a problem. Where does it say that an affidavit needs to be included?

Congratulations and good luck! :)

In the email my husband got it said in-person for same day service. She has to go in person. We are talking about important documents so I dont think anyone can just bring in the passport. Best thing to do is call the vienna phone number and they'll answer this question for you correctly. All...

Hi KajaH, my husband and I are both in Serbia too and he got his passport two days ago :) We are also going in January 2015 so we did not choose same-day service since we have 2.5 more months until departure. I just wanted to let you know that if you want to save some money and time, DHL works...

New to this forum topic for Vienna, I am part of another one but I thought I'd help out on other Vienna topics as well! :) I am 99% sure you have to go in-person to receive same-day service. I don't think someone else can take your passport and do it for you. Double-check but in the letter my...

Congratulations and good luck in Canada! :D

It took exactly 5 days for the passport to arrive from Vienna to Serbia with the weekend included, without its 3 business days. We sent it last Monday and this morning we got it in the mail!! Vienna does use Austrian Postal Service. They paid 15,75€ to send the package as priority mail., thats...

Hello everyone!! My husband got his COPR and passport today in the mail today!!! We sent it on Oct 27, it arrived Oct 28 and today Nov 4 it arrived early in the morning! Let me just let everyone know, dont pay return waybill with DHL, UPS AND OTHER PRIVATE COURIERS. Vienna will ignore the return...

Sometimes it takes a week or two for them to contact you. My husband's ECAS changed today to decision made even though we got the passport request on OCT 24. Even last week when we sent the passport it still said "in process". Don't trust ECAS, they update their information so late.

They requested my husband's on Oct 15 and he got passport request on Oct 24. Now we are just waiting for passport. When did you send the police check?

So he didn't go to the interview yet? hmmm, that's interesting. Have you checked your status on ECAS? Maybe they did decide to skip the interview but that is weird, usually they don't change their minds just like that. Have you sent them the requested documents yet? SEND THEM ASAP. My husband...

My brother was in queue for an interview and after that interview they requested he re-do his medical. Being told you will go to interview doesn't mean you don't have to re-do medical and police check since they are both valid for only 1 year. Usually, the request of the medical and police check...

After you send medical you will get passport request! We sent my husbands passport yesterday! Congrats!

For official documents, like from police stations, courts, hospitals, doctor's offices you should get certified translations. For skype, facebook, chats..etc. you can leave it the way it is or translate portions yourself.

We decided to go with DHL overnight. DHL told us that Vienna changed the rules about two years ago. In order for Vienna to return the passport by using DHL, DHL has to contact VIENNA to see if the passport is ready. They had cases where DHL would be emailing everyday for 2 weeks to see when they...

Sounds like so much fun! :) My husband sent his passport by DHL today and tomorrow it will be in Vienna! Let us know how it went with getting your visa in person when you get the chance! Cheers!

Hi Jagoda, I am sorry to say your waiting time is just starting. What Vienna does when they receive an application is look over to see if they have gotten a complete package. Since you were missing the correct police certificate, they contacted you right away. All of us that have gotten a...

My husband is in Serbia so he'll need to pay $60 as a service fee to the VAC in Belgrade and then another $60-$70 for DHL to return his passport to the house. We don't mind paying but it seems like a longer process. In the letter they gave us three options: Private Courier Service, through VAC...
