I got my Schengen visa after appealing against rejection. So effectively rejection was overruled.

Now many countries ask if your visa has ever been rejected during a visa application, and I am wondering if this needs to be mentioned.

I see the situation as visa granted for an application via appeal, hence final state is no rejection. Any thoughts?

Edit:

I recently applied for Schengen Visa. Visa form did specifically ask for any rejection in past 2 years. I clearly mentioned about visa being granted after appeal. I had no issues getting the visa. So take away is to be transparent to visa officer.

I recently applied for Schengen Visa again and Visa form did specifically ask for any rejection in past 2 years.

I clearly mentioned about visa being granted after appeal and in the documents I also shared the photocopy of granted visa and translated copy of visa grant letter. These additional documents were not asked but i still shared just to provide all info.

I had no issues getting the visa. So take away is to be transparent to visa officer.
