VisaCMarriage

Dear,


My fiancée applied for a Visa C for marriage on 21/09/22. It was registered 23/09/22 (info on the website to track visa progress.

In the meantime we have not received any further news except the confirmation that they received the diplomatic post (email received from infodesk on 08/11/22).

I was wondering if there are people who applied for this visa type recently (like in the last 6 months) and if they received their visa yet. The embassy we applied at is the Belgian embassy in Moscow.

Thanks in advance.

@Ceren Yuce congratulations!!! Good luck with the rest. :D

I have few questions since you got a quick response, maybe you can help..

have you already had a schengen visa ? I think that helps with faster response.

Also which embassy did you apply at? Was it via VFS?

Lastly do you mind sharing your full  timeline with the exact date you received the approval?
