Yeah you can do your medical upfront - I did mine upfront.
And I read on the forum that Vienna can extend them up to one year.

Can you share what additional docs they asked you for? I figured Vie asks for everything upfront. We're not expecting any additional docs requests, but you never know!

Hello PM1983,

My husband application state that processing started on July 21st, 2015 and on September 14th we received a letter stating that he was missing a police certificate from Montenegro.
He work there on and off for 1 year and we completely forgot to submit that with the application. The advised for him to get that from our own country but after 3 weeks of trying in vain, he went straight to Montenegro and got it after 1 week. So our application was delayed because of that for 1 month! Vienna confirmed they received everything on October 22nd 2015 and we haven't heard back since.

I guess we are only at 7 months mark which isn't too too long but when you see some people getting approved within 5-6 months it makes you worry. Biggest thing is that I want him here for Christmas! I have to work so I can't travel to be with him :s

If they didn't ask for additional doc by now, you are probably all good :)

Good luck!

Thank you for sharing :) My husband's processing in Vienna started on Aug 13, so we're also waiting. Looking at CIC website with a Vienna processing time of 16 months gives me nightmares every time! I really hope it wouldn't be so long- I want him here too :-D
Good luck to you both. cheers!

Hello All,

Did anyone else see a change in their ecas today?? Mine changed to 'Decision Made' for the applicant :O but no communication from CIC at all (yet).
They only started processing in VO on Aug 13 so it's way too early .... this is really making me worried!

The spreadsheet shows several people with fast processing in Vienna in 2015. Maybe you are among the lucky ones! I hope so. Fingers crossed for you.

My application changed to Decision Made today too! I heard several people from London also say they transitioned to DM today. PM1983, since our applications did every stage at the same time, I'm guessing it's legit. :D

God, I sincerely hope so.....I guess it's too early to celebrate, but I'm also keeping fingers crossed for all of us.

Thanks for the update Maartenvg! Good luck to everyone, and pls pray that the speedy DM means a positive decision.

I'll update over here as soon as I receive any communication from CIC. If anyone gets an email before me, please update the forum!

Hey Marrtenvg and PM1983,

I got DM today too. No extra line on E-CAS but I got the email below:
P.S. Keep in mind that I had sent the passport along with the extra docs even though I never got a passport request.

Dear Madam/Sir,

Your documents are ready for pick-up in our office. Please confirm by latest December 3, 2015, if you wish for us to return your documents to you by commercial courier (e.g. DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc.).

If we do not receive a reply by this date, we will return your documents to you by registered mail.

If you wish for us to return your documents to you by commercial courier, you must supply a pre-paid commercial courier coupon. Ensure that all the required information is completed on the pre-paid commercial courier coupon, including:

Once you have arranged the pre-paid pick-up with the commercial courier service, the commercial courier company must contact our section by e-mail (see e-mail address below) in order to organize the pick-up of your envelope.



If you don’t want to use commercial courier service, please inform us by e-mail and your documents will be returned by registered mail at no additional cost to the mailing address we have in our records.
