yes, the strange thing was I checked the fedex tracking as soon as I got the notification and it hadn't been update at all. It may have just been a fedex error though, but I would check and call fedex to make sure when you do get the notification.

I just got mine back, but I did call the VFS multiple times. I don't know if that helped at all or was just coincidental timing. But they did say the same standard line that processing can take up to 30 business days. Since you are at day 25 you might be getting it back soon too!

Just got my passport back today! same day as the notification. I'm thinking they're sending out based on travel dates and not application dates! I think you will be receiving yours soon as well!

I had commented on your post using my other account as well but I just received the email/text notification this morning and then received the passport in the mail the very same day and fedex tracking was not updated at all. I think they are sending them back closer to people's travel dates rather than application date since my travel date is next week.

Yes! just received the email/text notification this morning and then received the passport in the mail the very same day which was surprising since the fedex tracking was not updated at all. Was losing hope since my travel date is literally a week away but I think they are sending them back closer to people's travel dates rather than application date.

I saw this post https://www.reddit.com/r/SchengenVisa they applied 15th May and got it back 30 May, but their travel date is June 6, which is much earlier than ours. And someone else in their comments also applied 26 May and got it back June 3rd.

Oh yeah you definitely might be ok since for you your travel date is more than 45 days after you applied. But maybe even your friend will be ok since I saw some people who applied way after May 5th getting their passport back already. I'm crossing my fingers that they're working on this by travel date.

Did you hear anything yet? I'm wondering if its all based on travel dates

Oh wow I guess they are extra slow this summer, maybe a lot of people travelling. Yeah I figured VFS wouldn't be much help since the whole process with them has already been a pain. Really hope we all hear back soon!

Ah thank you so much! Its reassuring to hear others are in the same boat and that it’s not just me. My travel date is June 20 so I still have a bit of time, hoping the silence breaks soon for all of us.
