Anyone applied after 12th March (or whose money got debited after 20th March) and has recieved approval? I applied on 12th March (recived by HO on 13th March, Money got debitted on 20th and recived acknowledgement dated 20th march), but still no news.
I saw some people who applied just a week before me got their approvals in the third week of march..
Was thinking of going on a holiday late in spring or early summer and what could be better than traveling on a British passport. Tired of wasting my time & money every year for a Schengen visa :roll:
