Has anyone been approved from Frankfurt Consulate in the last few weeks? I feel like they shut down everything and no one is working there anymore.

Anonymous participant 736 I guess the change is normal. Mine also changed back few hours after I send them my additional docs

I already provided the additional docs 1 day after my initial submission. For now on, it’s just waiting. It’s probably done after my arrival date…

Anonymer Teilnehmer i think they don't care about the arrival.

I went to pending approval yesterday. I applied October 1st and uploaded further documents on 15th October.

@Julia ********
what’s your arrival date?

@Sam *******
27th November, but talked to people where the arrival date already was and still no update. That's why I think they just process chronological with document upload.

i think they do care about the arrival date. Your application was in pending document check for a month and it just moved to the next step. This is hopefully a good sign.

Anonymer Teilnehmer No only pending approval since yesterday. Means nothing... And can also take weeks with this status...
