Wow that's fairly fast. Looking through the forums of all the other Abu Dhabi office study permit applicants it doesn't look promising for me. I have submitted my application since October 2023 and haven't heard back since November 2023 currently going through background checks.

At the time i felt the same. The Abu Dhabi visa office is a pain of a whole new level. But I believe as long as you submit your applications efficiently, youve done everything right and did your research, you should be fine. its just matter of time

Another ray of hope is if you have received a medical request, you're most likely to be granted the visa. The Abu Dhabi visa office is way too busy to be sending out medical requests for those they don't want to issue visas too.

Hahah I appreciate your optimism. I have already sent tons of webforms the past few days and apparently that led to an update on my tracker saying "We received your inquiry" apart from that I haven't received much more info regarding my application. I didn't know Abu Dhabi is also hesitant to send medical requests to some applicants that's interesting.
