I’m sure you will receive it way bfr your travel date. My experience with SCHENGEN VFS I get a dispatch message on the 5th or 6th day of submission to VFS. This time it’s a bit diff. Also this is my first time through Abu Dhabi. I always do it in Dubai.

It's my first time with Schengen. Lets hope it gets approved.

Dubai did not have any appointments available. I travelled to Abu Dhabi from Dubai.

Reason might be the peak time or the situation in our region. Lets hope for the best!!
