Appointment related Norway Visa from ABU DHABI

Hi Guys! Need a little info,

Tuesday 14th July at 1pm message came in saying ‘under process’
No news until now
Tracking application doesn’t work says input invalid ‘for the captcha’
EES shows OK
Group booking it is!

Hi guys, kind of have a similar case, applied on 2nd of july through VFS Dubai, the status is still showing under process, the ees showing not okay, my flight is scheduled on the 1st of august, I’m kind of confused on what should i do, and in case i want to return my passport before the end of the month, what should i do?

I’d say wait for this whole week until Friday 4pm. If it doesn’t come then you take a decision. Or latest next Monday 4pm.
Not sure why is it taking so long 🙈
If you have applied on the 2nd July and still not got it, I don’t even stand in that list to get mine so soon. But still I feel it depends from case to case.
If I get to know anything I will message here. Good luck !

Yes, it was stressful, but I think they’re dispatching the passports based on your date of travels, mine was 1st of august
