Hi there,

It is now 2 months and 20 days ( almost 12 weeks completed) since i had made my application for study permit online ( Visa Office is SA)

It says the processing time is 15 weeks.Ofcourse I must need to wait for few more weeks to get an answer, but few applicants already had got the approvals and rejections before completing 15 weeks.

Any advice on what would be the application outcome?

Cheers!!

Hi Camani,

What do you think the chances on outcome? normally if they refuse the study permit, how much time does it take?

eish with this guys u dont know. they are full of dramas.

althou most people that got refusals , gt the decision within 4-6weeks. but have seen cases whereby after 4months someone still got refusal. actually about 2 of them this yea 2015.

the 3rd person got approved while her husband OWP was refused. and they apply visitor visa for the husband got approved in 1 week.

i apply 22nd june. i received following on 22nd july and also today 21 august.



There have been no updates to your application (S**********) since you last checked your MyCIC account. Thank you for your patience.


any of you that apply online got such?

Hi,

How long did it take for your sister to have her visa?

there is no new update but someone told me that i would get an email every time someone opens my application.
it often just means someone is working on it. if they ask for your passport then all is well but that also takes some time before you get your passport back. hope all goes well
