Applied offline on 28th March
File under process 1st April

Medical passed on 9th April
Acknowledgments letter on 10th April
I applied offline on 28 march and got visa on 11 april but still in biometric box they are saying no need. I m puzzled as they update everyone's biometrics before visa.

Might take few days, as march 28 and later SDS Online applications are still pending. Tonight processing times will be updated for indians. We will get a clear idea once they update it.

In your student acknowledgement email which visa office it was processed?
It should say at the bottom of the email message.
