Hi everyone! Long time reader, first time poster. I thought I would share our timeline with you.
I'm the sponsor (Canadian citizen) and my spouse is Hungarian, so we went through the Vienna office. Medical done up front and all fees paid in advance.
14 December 2015: Our application is received in Mississauga (sent by Canada Post). We never received confirmation of this from CIC and had to call several times to ensure that our application did in fact arrive.
5 February 2016: AOR1
17 February 2016: Sponsor Approval
17 February 2016: Application arrives in Vienna VO
22 February 2016: Third line/AOR2/Processing PR application
28 March 2016: Decision Made
Not sure what will happen now or how long we will have to wait for the next step, but I hope that this might be helpful for all the non-Ottawa VO folks - things are happening!
That is great news!! I am also going through VIenna VO. Mississauga received my application on November 27th....makes me wonder now what the hold up is !
