I am networking with a a group of people in the UK at the moment. Of the few that have made it out there, it took between 2-3 years for the process to be done and dusted and the ones currently waiting, the timelines are ranging from 18+ months. There is one guy that has been waiting 36 months. Of course, this is all case spcific and I don't know the complications involved or what happened for it to take that long.

Julchen, where did you get the timelines 7-16 months from?

I applied end of March, just recieved my 120 day letter last week, so busy preparing the docs.

Also, I know this is a bit off topic, but in regards to translating documents into English. Does this also extend to German police checks, German University diplomas etc.

Oh by the way, as a quick introduction I am based in Frankfurt am Main, and really excited about making a life changing move with my family!

Best of luck to all!

Try this link:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/05-fc-spouses.asp

This is the link for family class spousal applications. As you can see, London is processing applications in 2-7 months. Mine took 6 months, and from the cases shown on Trackitt, that was a longer than normal wait.

Not sure what the link you supplied is specifically for. Maybe an average of all types of applications?

Ah ok. I now understand what I have done. In my excitement of finding fellow Berlin applicants, I have not read the title of the thread properly. :-*

I have applied under FSW.
