I just want to thank you for posting a very reliable step by step guide on schengen visa application. I’ve browsed with other blogs but yours the one that surely helps me a lot! Right now, I’m still on a waiting period. Still hoping that along with my passport’s delivery is my visa. I haven’t booked for an airline ticket yet because I just wanted to be very sure. Just like yours, the consul stamped my passport upon receiving all my documents. Although when I asked him how would I know if I’m approved, he told me to just wait because it still depends on the Embassy. So, I’m still hoping and praying. But still… thank you so much and more power!

I’m also going to apply for a Schengzen Visa. My Aunt in Germany will be inviting me there. My scheduled flight is actually on Sept, but the invitation will be sent via mail this July. Is it OK to apply for an appointment this early? Will there be expiration dates? Or should I wait to apply probably within August?

Thanks!
