Thank you. I am a Romanian national, but have been living in Germany with my husband since 2009, that's why we applied through Vienna and not Bucharest.
We are very shocked about this, I was expecting for Vienna to ask more documents, like a renewed police certificate, or more proof for my husband of his intention of going back to Canada (he is a Canadian citizen living abroad and he doesn't have a job offer in Canada). But Vienna never contacted us until now.
I ordered GCMS notes in August, and nothing was started on my application. This means they completed everything within the last 2 months.
My advice to everyone that is preparing to apply, is to make sure you send in a tidy, well organized and complete application (including paying all the fees up front). This will surely save you a lot of time. And although we have been married for 6 years, we didn't send a lot of pictures or chats. We emphasized quality over quantity (no officer would enjoy reading through thousands of Facebook screen shots, in my opinion).
Again, good luck to everyone still waiting.
