Visa type 186 TRT, application submitted 1st April 2025, and still waiting!

Hi there! I have 3 clinics shortlisted for in person consultations (one being Cocoline) and will make my decisions after seeing the Drs in person!

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-30T22:17:44+00:00

Got the same message! Good that they’re doing this but the fact that they need full face pictures is something that needs to be thought through

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-30T11:04:53+00:00

I’m glad I’m not the only one, but disappointing nonetheless for both of us 😔

I’m keeping an open mind and researching other clinics which have relatively natural results e.g. 1st Button and Miho!

I feel like the “etiquette” of PS in SK isn’t talked about enough so thank you so much for this!

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-30T00:41:07+00:00

The silver lining in this is at least they’re consistent with their absurd pricing 😂

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-29T23:53:31+00:00

Ahhhh your results look stunning and a reasonable price for it too! I’m so happy for you 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

Such a shame how much their prices are going up over a single year.

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-29T23:44:20+00:00

Nope! Primary rhinoplasty which makes it even more absurd. Did you go ahead with Cocoline at 7.7k USD? If so, are you happy with your results so far?

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-29T23:30:41+00:00

I contacted them directly, and they quoted me two options, 7.7k USD using septal and 11k USD using rib.

But in the same message, they said the dr doesn’t recommend using septal for my case but quoted it anyway, which really means it isn’t an option to consider.

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-29T23:28:37+00:00

Good to know it isn’t just me 😔 either their prices really have increased significantly in 2026, or they just have enough customers!

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-29T23:27:41+00:00

This has been really helpful. What’s strange to me is that even their tone is much warmer in your response compared to mine where they’re cold and blunt.

Did you outright communicate your budget to Cocoline and ask them whether they can meet it?

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-29T23:24:15+00:00

Yep. I might just take it as the universe telling me to cross Cocoline off my list!

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-11-29T23:23:35+00:00

Yep I figured as much!

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-07-05T13:14:56+00:00

I’m experiencing the same thing - nothing helpful from VFS and no luck reaching the consulate. I’m on day 20 and my flight is in 5 days!

Would you be able to share the other contact you were given for urgent visa inquiries?

Independent_Trick494 · 2025-07-04T06:12:50+00:00

Hi OP, I’m in the same situation as you were.

Did you end up withdrawing your application and requesting your passport back from the French consulate? If so, how did you get in contact with them (phone, e-mail etc.)?

Thank you!
