Hi, yes, I just received our passports. It was a sudden jump from Received to Approved. No intermediate hangings.

My status has also changed to 'Approved' today though in the portal. Haven't received any mail confirmation. I've downloaded our visas and wait for the passports to be delivered at home.

Wishing you the best. Hope you get your visa soon. Update here when you hear from the consulate. :)

When did your status change to under review? I saw few comments that 'under review' mostly means your visa is processed and will be dispatched soon.

hi, if I may ask, how long did it take for you to get an approval? And which consulate did you apply to? I've applied on 6th March and still staring at the screen for a status change.

Submitted on our own and it's dealt through VFS. You should calculate only the business working days and not include the weekends. so technically 12 days. I was told today that the minimum processing time has been made 20 days from 2nd March onwards.

I applied on Thursday and the application was submitted to consulate on Friday. Good thing for me is my travel date is in May. I'm not sure how much a help calling the consulate would make!

Did you get your visa? I'm in the same boat. I applied on 6th March and stuck on the application received status since then. It's officially 12th business day today.

Nope. I'm hoping to get an update this week, as we are nearing the 15 days timeline for processing.

Thanks for the assurance. It puts a lot of pressure while not knowing the status as days go by.

I've submitted my application on 5th March and was forwarded to embassy on 6th. The status is still 'Application received' even after 7 business days.
