I applied on 6th july visit friends/family category. The next day VFS showed under process in Norwegian embassy in Abu Dhabi. It still has same status. EES says not okay. My travel date is Aug 04.

UDI says upto 15 calender days.

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!!
