It took 1 week to get here but finally got the letter with SA! Yay! I couldn't understand why I got AOR with an email and SA by regular mail. Our letter was from officer AV.

Thanks Aniabella. That makes me feel a little bit better. :)

It seems like everyone got an email and when I logged on to check today it said a decision has been made and a letter sent to me and that I should consider any delays in the mail being delivered. So I immediately thought - OMG they only send approvals by email and if they deny you for...

Everyone gets it by email??? 100% of the time?

Sorry, if this topic has been covered before. I looked but didn't find anything (although my search skills may be compromised by my anxiety) and want to know what they have been doing lately. Do they send SA approval by mail or email? They have my email address and the sponsor is currently...

I sent my application the first week in January and I got an email from them on Valentine's day (during dinner no less) that we were missing a form. So that was a bummer. We sent the form in the following Monday and today I got an AOR stating they received the application on the Feb 24th. So...

Congrats on getting your SA! And thanks for posting your timeline, it seems that I'm about a week behind you. I actually got my "non official AOR" email today (on a Saturday!) so I'm happy to know it might only take about a week for the stage one part to be completed. I also can't log into...

So I just thought we should check the wait-times again and both Vienna and Rome are on 13 months... But then I read a little bit of the Vienna thread and they thought Rome was getting through them a lot quicker. Now, I can't decide...Vienna or Rome...Thoughts?

Thanks for everyone's help. I'm going to go with Avadava's advice. Oh, and I know all about the "Bescheinigung gemäß FreizügG/EU" when I got it for myself late in 2012 before they got rid of it. The Auslanderamt in Berlin is horrible and they gave me such a hard time and I was furious when...

Hi, I tried using the search function but didn't have any success. We are having trouble determining what my partners "status in country?" He is an Italian citizen, living and working in Germany, which is fine without any visas because it is the EU. What have other people put? In one form...

My boyfriend is from Italy and what you are saying makes sense. But I think that is different from certified copies. I'm a Canadian and recently applied for Hungarian citizenship, and our birth certificates (long version) costs some money, so you want to keep the originals. So I had to make...

So from what I have read on here, we have to send original police certificates and NOT certified copies. Of course with a translation and affidavit that it is a true translation. For his birth certificate, we would like to send the original, we don't need it back (it is just a piece of paper...

After reading this thread, I'm probably stressing over the details too much. But I would rather just ask and be stressed about one less thing. I'm going to get some letters of support from family and friends. My boyfriend and I have been living in Berlin together for a couple years now, and...

Why do you think I should avoid the interview? Do you think it worked against you? Or was it just too stressful? I wouldn't mind doing the interview, unless the process takes longer they we anticipated and I happen to be back in Canada, then I don't want to fly back to Europe just for that.

Thank you amikety and Sweden. Both of your responses really helped to ease the stress as much as can be expected. I knew we would one day have to go through this process but I was one of those ignorant Canadians who thought when the time came we would get married and after that it would be a...

Hello, I just wanted to confirm that a Letter of Introduction from the IEC visa program has a 1 year expiry date? (Specifically from Italian nationals.) Everything I read has stated one year, but then with the (stupid) come to Canada Wizard, it said that it can expire 6 months after being...

Thanks for your quick reply. It sort of makes sense if someone gets it done in Canada, since they are applying to live there. But for some reason when an Italian, who lives in Germany gets his medical done in India, it just seems a little off to me. But maybe I'm paranoid and it's worth...

If we apply outland, we have to send the results of the spousal medical examination with our package. It is €250 to get it done in Germany. Does it matter where we get it done? We will be traveling to India for a holiday and thought we could possibly get it done there. Would doing that work...

Ok, so I confirmed, (I think) that police reports do expire. Sorry for my question, should have read more, but it's hard when everything is so stressful.

Hello, I have done quite a bit of reading on here but I'm not sure if I understand everything 100% so if anyone could help clarify, that would be greatly appreciated. So a bit of background... I'm a Canadian citizen living in Berlin, Germany with my Italian boyfriend. We have been dating...
