D7 Visa Approval by reynbod2003

I applied for a D7 Visa to Portugal on August 27, 2024 at the VSF office in Washington DC. The appointment went well and I was told I would hear in 60 days. But on October 28, I was asked to submit an apostilled FBI report, even though I had given ...

I had a lawyer go help with application. And she hasn’t helped with this issue at all. I emailed her to no avail. Took the money to help initially and then has gone silent since then. Read More

FBI Report by reynbod2003

Hi! I know that when you get the mailed FBI report, you don’t open but take it sealed. My question is: Does VSF in Washington open it or is it sent to Portugal and opened there. Just curious if I’m asked any questions about it. Thanks!
