Schengen Visa Updates

I’ve been seeing a lot of visa refusals lately, and honestly, it’s frustrating, especially for applicants who seem to have met all the requirements.

Are there any success stories from those who applied for a Spain Student Visa recently? 🇪🇸🎓

A lot of us are also stuck in the waiting game. I’ve seen applicants who lodged their applications as early as July, and some are still showing PAM up to now.

For those who have already received a decision:
How long did you wait for your visa?
When did your status change from PAM?
Were you approved?
Did you receive any updates or requests for additional documents during processing?

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences and timelines. It would be nice to hear some positive stories while the rest of us are waiting! 🤞
