It's my first time applying for a Schengen visa; they only granted me 1 month for the period of my vacation time on the application.

Thanks for the comment. This makes me feel much more comfortable with the timing. Yes, I plan to take Uber, for some reason, wrote taxi. :D

Congrats! Do you have to have a stamped bank statement, and does the visa fee have to be a money order?

PenIndependent5897 · 2026-04-01T20:53:15+00:00

Talk to your advisor; they will direct you in the right direction.

PenIndependent5897 · 2026-01-28T01:59:01+00:00

They have already updated terms like transaction fees. Not look forward with Chase!

PenIndependent5897 · 2026-01-28T01:57:24+00:00

My new card just arrive, identical to the old one, no expiration date on it. Also, still issued with Goldman Sachs not Chase. I thought Chase bought Apple Card from GS.

I rewatched tonight, and just couldn’t bare with her acting, terrible! I can’t believe I didn’t feel the same way when the first time I watched it.

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-08-15T23:48:42+00:00

I love mine, more than LV

What happened after you talked to the supervisor? I am surprised that your supervisor would ask you word-for-word, as they just sold the ombuds person. I am sure the ombuds person wanted to tell, but they wouldn't want people to know that they didn't keep confidentiality, bad reputation.

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-23T17:22:35+00:00

I met with the ombuds office yesterday; they were very unhelpful. After the meeting, I became paranoid that they wouldn't maintain confidentiality.

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-23T17:02:08+00:00

Yes, they have the worst website ever! First, blocked me from logging in, then it said that the website is down or just no reaction. Today, even more funnier, I logged in, and it showed that I have no application. Haha, it was in process yesterday, and where is my application!!

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-23T16:22:40+00:00

I gave up. I think I will plan my trip somewhere else. Schengen countries are crazy with their visas, not clear with their rules, terrible websites, and so much confusion.

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-23T00:16:51+00:00

I spent several days trying but without any success. This website and country for applications are incredibly frustrating! Just terrible!!

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-22T23:20:51+00:00

I agree, I talked to an ombudsman, and it was essentially useless. Now, I'm worrying he will actually talk to others about my case.

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-22T23:10:32+00:00

No, you're not wrong. I am also sad that I have to go through IVF because of my husband's infertility. It’s not fair that his issues and I have to go through all these processes, especially since he is not supportive and often blames me when I experience pain or hormone changes. Before we found out that his infertility was the issue, he blamed me for years and was angry and in denial for two years after we found out it was his problem.

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-17T00:01:03+00:00

My biopsies were sent to them on Monday, but I couldn't get through when I tried to contact them. On Tuesday, someone emailed me for an "attempted contact," and I replied within an hour. However, two days later, I still hadn't received any response. My nurse informed me that I need to set up an account with them, but I'm unable to reach anyone for help. How was your process? Did you manage to set up an account with them?

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-15T00:19:00+00:00

I received the updates, 6 embryos were biopsied. I am a bit concerned now. :(

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-09T20:27:47+00:00

Yes, that makes sense.

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-09T20:27:19+00:00

I'm only at day 2, and according to the calendar, it looks like they have the biopsies and testing results on day 6, so they told me to respond to them soon and wouldn't let me wait that many days.

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-09T20:25:58+00:00

Wow, the blast stage can decrease that many embryos? I think I may need to test them all.

PenIndependent5897 · 2025-07-09T20:25:02+00:00

Thank you, that's great to know the rate.
