SCHENGEN VISA NETHERLANDS - DAY 21 AND NO RESPONSE.

Guys, I am literally losing my mind right now. I’ve been waiting 21 days for my Netherlands visa (visiting family) and the silence is actually making me so restless. I am applying from Pakistan for Finland, but because Finland doesn't have an embassy here, my application is being processed through the Netherlands Embassy in Islamabad. my flight date is very near which is not going to be possible and I’m honestly getting so desperate.

I’m a working professional and I’ve provided everything perfectly, but the status is just stuck on “Further processed at the MFA in the Netherlands.” I know there was an embassy closure/backlog here in April, but this is getting ridiculous.

Here is what I submitted:

  • Official NOC & Leave Approval from my workplace.
  • 6 Months Bank Statements (solid and verified).
  • Verified Municipal Invitation from my sister who lives there.
  • Verified sponsorship letter and document
  • Cover letter
  • My sister and her family document

Please tell me someone else has been through this recently from Pakistan and got their passport back at the very last second. I am so heartbroken thinking I’m going to miss this trip.
