I submitted my application on January 16th, and today marks 22 working days. I applied as a frequent business traveler, having had 4 previous Schengen visas, 2 previous Turkish visas, and I even submitted my Turkish residence permit along with 2 previous Russian visas.

I am supposed to attend a business event from March 5th to 7th. I submitted an official business invitation letter, along with the company registration details from the Italian company hosting the event. I also included a copy of the Italian international passport of the company's CEO. These documents were all part of my submission, yet I have not received any response.

This is the longest I have ever waited for a visa from the Italian consulate.

things will be fine! They will issue the visa

"Yes, I understand you. Let's just keep our fingers crossed. I'm just cautious about people who are not traveling as tourists but for business. In fact, I have a business proposal that I am supposed to present at the event, and I even submitted a copy to the Italy consulate. What if the event date passes and my passport hasn't been returned? My travel date is the 3rd of March, and the event is from March 5-7."

Oh my gosh 66 something days, mine was just 44 days today and waiting till tomorrow if they returned my passport back to tls as they said on their email. They said, before the end of the week which is either yesterday or today being Friday. Since I didn't see anything yesterday I am hoping miracle happen today ooo. My travelling day was yesterday 13th of February. According to the security that I met yesterday, he told me that they hard a technical problem moving from the back house down to the new front house. I dont no how true that was but just hoping to get back my passport period, this is the longest I have seen.

My visa received. But reduced to six months instead of the one year previously. I months reasoned behind them reducing it, reason is that I only used the one year visa, just once. All the same thank god, good luck to everyone
