Hi, not sure if this is helpful, but I recently also had to fill out a similar form (5669e) and there was no way to validate and add a signature so I just uploaded it in the portal and before I clicked submit, the system asked me to sign virtually inside, so maybe this is their new way to...

Congrats! I don't know about your country but I've read for mine that it takes VFS offices around a week or two to stamp visas and get your passport back. Of course, this is not accurate information, just something I've heard. I think it's best to call them and ask about the timeline? That way...

In my situation personally, there was a 10-month period between my AOR + biometrics and ADR with absolutely nothing in between. Then all of a sudden we got an ADR in April but no medical. Couldn't tell you what's happening with the progress bar because I don't have one...

I got the message but I don't have a progress bar and haven't had one since my AOR.

Congratulations!

Well hopefully this is good news because the backlog and processing times are actually insane. Maybe now they'll finally focus on our applications and speed up the process. I saw yesterday that processing time is 52 months.

You ABSOLUTELY need to take IELTS for the Self-Employed stream. You're applying for Permanent Residence, not a work permit. The program is not changing, it's been placed under pause until at least January 2027, which means they won't be accepting new applications anymore. See here...

Is not seeing a progress bar normal nowadays? I see people talking about it in the forum but I haven't had a progress bar ever, since I linked my application to the online portal. Is this something I need to contact them about or it's pretty much a useless feature? God knows I'd LOVE to have at...

Congratulations!! This is wonderful news!

Thanks for the info, I thought I'd upload the updated passports before they ask but maybe it's better to wait for them to send a request.

Speaking of passports, is there a place to update passport information while the application is still in progress? We have new passports and the information on them is different than our old ones so I'm just wondering where to submit them. Anyone knows?

I don't think you can see that in the portal. We only found out after the request letter arrived.

They did not ask for a medical. I do plan on providing proof of funds even though they didn't ask for it specifically. Processing office is Vienna.

Vienna!

Hi, they did not specify but my guess is the salary request is to match the client contracts, not for settling for the first year. Settlement funds would be the same as Proof of Funds, a separate document issued by a bank. There were no specific dates, it just says "for the past 2 years" so...

Hi everyone, Today I got my ADR, they need an updated Schedule A form, proof of employment (client contracts etc.), and proof of salaries for the past 2 years. Currently, my timeline is: Jun 2021 - Submitted application online May 2023: AOR + Biometrics Request June 2023: Biometrics done and...

We learned this the hard way. We've been waiting since June 2021 and only gave biometrics in June 2023. Nothing since then. My husband and I put everything on hold and we're quickly realizing this is not worth it anymore. We're probably going to apply for a different visa somewhere in Europe as...

Ahh I am both so sorry to hear that but at the same time so happy for you that you moved on and got visas elsewhere. To be perfectly honest, I've been considering the same thing - trying a different country because this 3+ year wait and putting our lives on stand-by just isn't doing it for me...

Yes, that's what I'm thinking. I've been looking at people's timelines here on the forum and it's almost always that they get ADR and medicals 8 months after AOR or Biometrics request. This is regardless of the year of application.\ Hopefully you'll update us soon with some great news! :)

Do you have a visa processing office in Budapest?
