PR IN PROCESS ON ECAS May 9

CORP...... next week Smiley


Wow, this is fast processing time. I sent my application week earlier, but I am form Serbia and that might be the reason why your is processed faster :)

My question is did you send 4 photos together with your application, and are they asking for your passport because Slovenia is visa exempt country? I have 10 years valid visa, and i am currently in Canada, and I was hoping that i will be able to bypass that step of asking for passport.

Thanks.

Dobar dan :)

We had to send 8 photos with the app. No we dont need to send my passport. The only thing they asked for is two additional photos
( i dont know why as we already sent 8 of them lol) and to pay the pr fee.

Yes, maybe it was 8 :) I sent my application, and I think is very good. My concern is that I will need to provide some other things, and I wish to get my COPR in Canada and go couple blocks in office and activate my PR status. Hopefully it will be without any additional things. But its not end of the world if they ask for.

Congratulations on your successfully ended process.

Hi
I need help

My application was sent to Vienna VO on May 23, 2016 and no mail/email received or eCAS update of third line. Anxiety for AOR, later on for SA is setting on me. Any idea how long it took you guys to hear from them?

Appreciate in advance.

Application left to Vianna on Nov 13,2015
My husband got an email for interview on Jan 8,2016

There is lots of changes in 2016 before they stamp visa on the spot but now you have to wait for email after you send your pasport and 2 picturs all info how and what will be in that email.
Best of luck

I checked that Slovenia passport holder processing time is 17 months, and Serbia passport holders 12 months. That don t have much sense. I am from Serbia, I send my application in February, my application process start at beginning of April. I really didn't expect anything before end of the year, but I can see here some people that have some crazy times, like less then 5 months even. That's great if its true. Wish you luck all.
