I'm a resident alien in the United States. Recently (about a week ago), I applied for a Schengen business visa at the Swiss consulate in New York, and I haven't heard back from them yet.
However, owing to emergency circumstances, I have to take a flight in the upcoming week (not to the Schengen area) for which I need my passport.
Is there any way to request the embassy to return my passport (even if the visa processing is incomplete) so that I can travel? I wasn't able to find any such information on the website and was wondering what would be the correct procedure to go about this. Thanks!
