Is a one month delay for a visa application normal, or does it indicate a possible rejection?

One month.

Still Pending.

No email, no request, no feedback.

I’m trying to understand whether this is a normal delay or the calm before a rejection.

If anyone waited this long and got approved, please share — it would help a lot.

You need to provide more details about your nationality and the embassy where you applied.. i was on pending approval for 40 days until they requested further documents and then an interview.
