Hi everyone! My boyfriend has applied for a visitor visa from Macedonia (Vienna Office). The application was submitted on April 11th. On April 12th he received a letter for biometrics and on April 15th he submitted his biometrics. The processing time for applications from Macedonia through the Vienna office is currently 11 days. We are on day 6. Please share your timeline if you don't mind! I'm hoping we get a response by the 19th which would be day 8... He also did not get a message stating that biometrics were received but in the right corner of the application page it shows the date he submitted biometrics as well as a number associated with it.
