I applied for a Schengen visa, and included a business invitation and a letter from the inviting company saying that they will be responsible for all expenses. I also submitted my bank statment as part of the documents requested. The bank statement was issued on 29th of the month, so it didn't have a lot of money in the account (nearly zero). However, it does show that my salary is transferred on monthly basis into the account (4600€ a month). Could you please advise if that might affect the approval?

    See this excellent answer about bank statements in the context of UK visas -- it's not much different for Schengen. Basically they're not interested in the final balance as much as the history of the account. – hmakholm left over Monica Oct 10 '16 at 09:20

    For a business trip (where your expenses are presumably paid by your employer) the bank statement would be comparatively unimportant, since you don't need to document that you can personally afford the trip. I suppose they still like to see a monthly income that's larger than what you might expect to make as an undocumented immigrant, though. – hmakholm left over Monica Oct 10 '16 at 09:21
  • Henning Makholm It is stated that i am receiving an amount of 4600 Euro / Month but as I stated the last amount was very less will it affect?? – Ahmed Oct 10 '16 at 09:24
  • How long is your trip? Who is paying for travel and accommodation? – Burhan Khalid Oct 10 '16 at 09:42

    x @Ahmed: if it's clear from the statements you submitted that you have a regular monthly income of 4600 euro, then I can't imagine you will have any problems on that front. (But really, what do you get out of hearing this kind of opinions from random people on the internet? You've already submitted your application; its outcome will be what it will be, and there's nothing you can actually use unqualified guesses like mine for at the present time anyway). – hmakholm left over Monica Oct 10 '16 at 09:46
  • Henning Makholm:) I completely agree with you it just jumped to my head now so I thought to ask just to know how things moving specially that it is my first visit to Germany and I don't want to lose it, anyway thanks for your answer, which I believe is quit reasonable – Ahmed Oct 10 '16 at 09:52

    isn't this just yet another duplicate visa-bank-balance question??? – Fattie Oct 10 '16 at 12:42

    @JoeBlow It's more of a duplicate "post-submission anxiety" question. – Michael Hampton Oct 10 '16 at 23:18

No one can tell you what will or won't affect your approval of the visa application; it is at the sole discretion of the officer that reviews your application.

As you have already applied and frankly not much you can about it at this time, it is simply a matter of waiting for the result and then deciding what next steps to take.
