Keyserasera

@farhadmkhan92 I think most people are on vacation? It's really frustrating with all the uncertainty

indhumathiinn

From August we can able to see progress in visa processing because I have seen the last year data in this forum.During this time they didn't approve the files and after august only they started working.

Keyserasera

@indhumathiinn let's hope we all get some update in August

indhumathiinn

Yes..let's see..atleast people who applied in April will get the update.

farhadmkhan92

Got an update this morning:


Awaiting receipt of supporting documents for the visa application sent by diplomatic pouch by the diplomatic/consular post.


So I'm assuming the embassy sent the physical documents by diplomatic pouch to the immigration office in Brussels?

farhadmkhan92

Visa approved this morning, showing as accord. Good luck to everyone else!

farhadmkhan92

Thank you very much guys.


Quick question, does anyone know how long it takes for embassy to acknowledge the visa being approved by dofi and then send it to vfs for collection?

Keyserasera

@farhadmkhan92 congratulations! From whatever I've read here it shouldn't take more than a week.

Anybody got update regarding visa?

farhadmkhan92

Guys quick question,


Does my wife have to provide any additional documents at Brussels airport? Our visa was approved just last week and I'm just curious whether someone can shed some light on this.


She has a flight from Islamabad > Istanbul > Brussels.


Will she need to provide any documentation other than her passport(which obviously has the visa on it) at any point during her journey?


Kind regards


Farhad
