So the courier company website allegedly showed me that estimated delivery is Monday, 27 August in the evening! shocked. I wanted to die! So yesterday, during public holiday o! I allegedly traced courier company number and allegedly offered them extra to ensure that I receive the parcel today i.e. Thursday. That is super expedited shipping inside expedited shipping! wink Then this morning, I was allegedly informed by my courier contact that the parcel has finally landed in their sorting centre within my location. So, I allegedly called the sorting centre and allegedly offered to pay extra for them to stop sorting, single out my parcel and bring it to me immediately. So, we now allegedly had extra super expedited shipping, inside the super expedited shipping, inside the expedited shipping grin I will know my fate in the next 30 minutes! Can somebody please clap for Jesus! wink

Brethren! We got the Italian Schengen visa! My wife and I requested for 30 days multiple entry but they gave us a visa valid for 50 days multiple entry. Is this usual? Has anyone else experienced it? The Italian visa is identical to the UK visa. Just very minor differences. Bank statements were not returned, pension fund statement was not returned, travel itinerary was not returned, AirBnB accommodation booking was not returned, all letters were not returned. Original copies of employment letter, marriage certificate, payslips and medical reports were returned. However, the original marriage certificate was very badly damaged. We now have to laminate it to prevent disintegration. I think it is only fair if the Italian Consulate considers authorising VFS to inspect originals and returning them if they cannot guarantee safekeeping. There are two notices stapled to our passports. The first one warns us that the Schengen visa does not confer an automatic right of entry to the Schengen area. We are expected to carry all relevant travel documents and evidence of financial means to the Border Police authorities who are entitled to turn their enemies back if they are not satisfied. The second notice warns us again that the Border Police is entitled to recheck all the documents we used in obtaining the visa and that we must have enough financial resources. It goes further to warn that if we leave Italy for another Schengen country and reenter Italy, we are expected to report to Border Police or the appropriate Police HQ within 8 working days. I wish everyone else waiting on the Italian Embassy all the best.

Sorry abt that bro. Try another shengen state if you really wanna go for holiday vacation this summer.
This is my third application for shengen visa through Italian embassy. I have visited Italy , Germany,Turkey and Holland and left the country without violating any immigration or constitutional laws yet my application is 25days today. What could be the cause of the delay?

On 27 July, 2018, I applied to the Italian Consulate for 30 days multiple entry Schengen visas for my wife and I to enable us attend a conference in Rome, and for a 3-week vacation thereafter to France, London (outside Schengen hence the request for multiple entry visas), Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Germany and Greece. I regret not paying for VIP service at the VFS office in Lekki embarassed We were there for 5 hours! Meanwhile VIP is completed in less than 30 minutes! NEVER AGAIN! The fifteen working days have expired and we have not heard anything. is this delay normal? It used to be the norm in the past but I understand that they have computerised and sped things up a bit at the Italian Consulate.
Bro honestly I applied the same day with you through Abuja vfs. Am still waiting. Last time took just 16days

Indeed it was worth it at the end. I appreciate your encouraging words after my post 15 working days tension started and you gently made me realise that I was still in kindergarten as far as waiting was concerned. Please share your own good news with us soon. I am looking forward to it.

Ah! Bros, yours is just their usual administrative delay since you are not a first timer. In fact, you are almost guaranteed one once the former visa was not abused. This was our first Schengen application and we were really worried.
