How Much time do they Require to process

Post by nayyabpg » Wed Sep 09, 2009 9:01 am

Hey,

I am an Erasmus Mundus Shcolarship student and My classes are commenceing on 28h of September 09 .
I applied for Student Tier4 PBS visa on 15th July in Lahore VAC and I am still waiting .My application status is same as it was on very first day 'Application Forwarded to Islamabad OC on'

I sent an email to on Abu Dhabi Embassy 17thAug and they replied me that my application is under process.decision will be made when all the checks will be completed.

But I haven't got any response yet.Its 9 Sep09 I am worried why they are taking too much time.And shall I be able to get my visa in time :(

One more issue is that i have applied visa on a copy of IELTS as unfortunately, my original IELTS sheet was lost.Will it be an issue?.But I mentioned in application that they can verify it online??

Looking forward to your responses.

Hey how can it be possible that u applied on 2nd and got rejected on 3rd??as I knw visas are processed in AbuDhabi and in one day its impossible to process someone's application.
Anyways one of my scholarship fellow got his visa in 5 weeks timeframe.He applied from Islamabad.I am waiting for a response from embassy.At least they will ask me about new visa letter if there would be more delay.

I guess in case of rejection they don't take so much time??

Hi

If you can get easily then Yes go for it.

Otherwise wait and see if they ask for new visa letter.
