Howdy y'all 
I'm going back to the US from my 90 days in Norway with a ring on my finger and ready to apply for the "fiancé visa" as soon as I get there. I was considering spending some time in other non-shengen countries while I'm there until I realized that VFS keeps my passport with my application.
I was wondering, does anyone know generally how long it takes for them to return it? I'd really love to do some exploring below the states while I have the chance since I won't be able to commit to a lease in the US anyway (idk for sure how long the visa will take, so makes no sense to sign a 12 month lease if I can approved in 7-ish). Thanks everybody!
