So today I was able to check the status online and this is all it says. When we applied to sponsor our family we also applied for permanent residence cards as well. So now we are only waiting on Vienna but I'm confused with the online status.user828 said:....thats stage 2, after reaching Vienna - but its upto 54 months, doesnt take that long
1.We received your application for permanent residence on March 13, 2009.
Does this mean that they started the process on March 13,2009?
