I would not be so sure about that. You might be right, but it might also trigger something.little_apple said:I don't think they would care. They would tell me "average processing time blabla 13 months blabla"
I request notes before I go on holiday on Christmas and then might send a CSE if I'm not happy with the result ;-)BC2013 said:I would not be so sure about that. You might be right, but it might also trigger something.
When I got my GCMS notes last month, they showed that my file had changed its location from "In Registry" (i.e. being warehoused somewhere) to an actual officer about a minute after they replied to a CSE. Not that anything has changed since :
The fact that they responded to your email by email does not mean that further correspondents are going to be by email, so I would highly suggest to add your email to your file as a means of communicating with you since it is much faster and there is no way for it to get lost or be delayed especially because should they need any additional documents they usually give you 30 days to get them and send it to Vienna and this 30 days is calculated from the time of issuance of the request, that means you'll be loosing a few days because they don't email you the letter, they have to send you by regular mail. As for the content of the letters you'll be receiving, there is no difference in what you'd get in an email to the one you get by mail (it's actually the printout of what they would be emailing you).Irsa said:
You need to request for your notes (GCMSnotes) asap. Just in case you didn't know, if you contact Vienna visa office by email inquire they are most likely going to send you a generic email saying be patient or something but should you get your GCMSnotes (it is issued by the immigration office directly) you'll know why it's taking so long. It takes about 30-40 days to receive your notes and that is if you send your request online and ask for the notes to be emailed to you. 
Little apple dont contact Vienna, moe your are contacting them you will be more in Q file, and they are not going to speed your process. Good luckKopje said:
Hi Endrit,endrit345 said:guys i have a question, does the 13 months that it states on the cic website really mean its going to be that long? people that have been sponsored out of my country ( kosovo) have had acceptance as little as 3 to 4 months :s. Hard to believe but thats what i heard, ive applied on aug/26/2013 so im currently waiting. Hopefully these guys arent slacking over in Vienna and get the jobs done for all of us.
You have nothing to loose. Worst case you get a default answer about the processing time. You can only Winlittle_apple said:

What is shocking me is the year and 9 months that you have been waiting
The hold up might be related to your hubby's military service. Did he fill out the booklet for it?

simply put, background check is when they check all the documents including police certificates, medicals, marriage certificate (if applicable), and legitimacy of your relationship; should they come to be suspicious about some things, they'll call your husband for an interview and if there is no suspicious, there is no interview required.Irsa said:
