He received email on Friday, March 30th from Vienna stating they received his application. On Monday, April 2nd, he received email requesting his passport. No interviews, nothing :) We drove from Serbia to Vienna, so dropped the passport at 8:30am and picked it up at 2:30pm the same day. Hope this helps :)

hi Fencesitter
yes you can say that because you just sent your application 10 days ago. some of us are waiting for almost 100 days. you will be in same situation when you pass august-september waiting for AOR :)

Couldn't agree with you more ashunandal!!
No one can grasp what a huge difference it is to be approved in 45 days
as opposed to 100 days!

Perhaps, but then again, perhaps not. And even so, negative energy isn't going to help. I may get frustrated as time goes on, but I will still do my best to stay somewhat positive...I'm not perfect, and I'm sure there will be days when I get extremely frustrated, but through it all, I'm going to try to look at things with a bit of perspective...and besides, deep down I know that our case is very strong...so in the end it will all work out...

yes you are extra strong fencesitter, i wish i could be like you. im really angry with CIC because of processing time and their customer service. when we call CIC every agent tells something different, one of them told us that they might have returned our application back, another agent said he can see sponsor's name on the system but nothing else, one person said that my reciept number is for someone elses case, and after that the rest said to call after 3-4 weeks..this is not acceptable...they cannot even tell us they recieved our app or not, while we payed over 1000 for this application and more than 1000 on other things like clearance, health certificate, and other documents and pictures for application. we are not asking for approval or faster processing, just confirmation they have recieved our app so we wont have to send it again.
yes youre right your case is very strong, you have a baby also, you will get your visa soon :)

people have to express their frustrations....i don't write anymore cuz if i do i will probably b too negative, and then while reading what i wrote i'll b getting even more upset from this....the point is u cannot say to someone b positive or negative and they will, this does not change by clapping hands....i'm sure everyone knows the half full glass part, but it's hard sometimes to keep believing in that....also some people tend to b relaxed others over-worried (sounds familiar ;) ) it all depends on personality and other factors around us...if i remember u were really depressed a few months ago and it passed but noone said u r too depressed, cuz it does not help, on the contrary they encouraged u and made u see that we all had moments like that and it's all part of the process and it will pass....now u r really happy that u sent ur application and it's a great feeling of relief (we have all been through that) and for sure u hope by the time they reach ur application it will b faster and i wish that...i don't wish to anyone waiting for so long just for the first stage and it's really different being approved in 45 days vs being approved in 90....just the ones going through it can understand

what bright side? to each his own, I was very optimistic and when someone says it will take very long...I used to say be positive, we'll be different...etc.

Since you made this comment,
you have just applied at first you were against the petition...now you are not
another thing you are at least with your spouse...I am not
the 2nd stage for you and many others is few months if not days....processing time for the 2nd stage in my spouse's country is more than 15 months
you really do not know my real situation (I won't explain it)...but in brief I have very few vacations...I had plans worst case I was expecting 70days for 1st stage
I can go on forever
