Hi there , I applied in October 2023 and it's also NON-SDS. Everything except background verifications is complete. My visa office is Abu Dhabi and I'm waiting for 6 months nowI applied for non sds study permit on 5th April and had upfront medical and biometrics updated on 10th April. Anyone has applied through non sds recently? How long did it take to receive your permit? Share please
