VIENNA OFFICE

[Bobbi]

Hi Guys!
This may be a silly question, however, what is PPR? You said you received an email for PPR and then an email to issue your Visa?
Can someone explain the last steps of the process?

Also, once the VO sends you an email to issue your Visa, how long does it normally take if you send your passport to Vienna by mail and have it returned to you?

Thanks!
Bobbi

PPR is PassPort Request that is when they ask you to send them your passports to stamp visas in them. You can either send them by mail or you can go in person for same day service. If you send it by mail it can take up to 2 or 3 weeks `till you get them back

Great idea about Vienna spreadsheet It's good to have something like that in our topic.

I just wish that Vienna does something , our thread is sooo inactive compare to LONDON OFFICE huh

 

[WhiteChoko]

I have noticed that many offices are a lot more active than Vienna... I am just dissapointed as how Canada claims that their priority is to bring families together, yet, the most important family members (spouses) - sponsorship takes quite a while... especially when you know that some people receive their visas within couple of days of AOR and others have to wait a lot longer, even if their circumstances are the same....
anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!
happy weekend everyone

Hi everyone
My husband got the PPR via email 2 days ago (on the 14th)...best Valentine's gift EVERRRR well, so far anyway, lol...

We got to Vienna last night, this morning we submitted his passport and we will go back around 3pm to pick it up...
there... file completed ))))

Good luck to all of you still waiting, I hope you will hear the happy news soon

OMG soo happy for you guyz Congrats !!!!

 

[ocanadaguy]

Congrats WhiteChoko!!!! OMG that was quick! if my timeline is like yours, there's a decent chance the PPR would land right on our anniversary, which would be cool.. but sooner is fine with me I can not imagine how happy you must have been to read that email Tell us what it was like to pick up the passport!! I am so curious what goes on.

Congrats WhiteChoko!!!!
When did you apply? I guess you did it outland?
I'm curious too.
While you're in Vienna, have lunch at the famous Fuglmuller restaurant, delicious chicken schnitzel with potato salad
