I was wondering if anyone else has applied for D8/DR Visa from the New Delhi embassy in India.
I submitted mine about 40 days ago.
The VFS website says processing time for D visas is 60 days but based on other information I found online for D7 visas, it seems to be much longer.
There are people who applied for the D7 from New Delhi last year and for many it took almost 8 months to over a year.
Would this also be the expected time for the D8?
Can anything be done to expedite processing like filing a Mandamus in a court in Portugal? (Most Anglo countries have this as part of the law)
It also looks like the Embassy only forwards the application to SEF and it is SEF in Portugal that processes it. If this is indeed the case then I wonder why there's such a big delay at the New Delhi embassy.
Any Insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
