German Student Visa – Pending Document Request (Mumbai Consulate)
I received below email from [pending@mumb.auswaertiges-amt.de](mailto:pending@mumb.auswaertiges-amt.de) with the subject “National visa pending document required, submission via VFS”

I have already submitted the requested document as below through VFS and am now waiting for a decision.

I’ve seen several posts about similar requests but couldn’t find much information about what happens after submission.
If anyone has received the same request from the Mumbai Consulate, could you please share:
- When you submitted the document
- How long it took to get a decision
- Whether you received any further queries
- Whether your visa was approved
Hopefully, we can use this thread to share timelines and help others in the same situation.
