Why was my Schenghen visa application referred?
I just got an email now saying that my application has been referred; ‘Belgian embassies and consulates general must submit certain visa applications to the Immigration Office of the Federal Public Service Home Affairs for a final decision’.
I don’t get it. I made sure I had all the correct documents. I’m a first-year law student at a good university here in the UK, and was given a previous Schengen visa in February and travelled to the Netherlands and returned. Why is my application now being referred?
Best Answer
It's impossible to say. The information you got could mean
- the consulate wants to reject the application but needs the home office's sign-off on that
or
- everything's alright, but the home office wants to see a random sample of applications they process, for quality control
or anything in between those extremes.
Sit back and wait for the actual decision. There's nothing you can do by now anyway.
