Eligibility takes 2-3 weeks or even 4 it depends on your case . Also status won’t change until visa is stamped so just be hopeful. Mine started 29 July and no update till now . So just be patient
You
send a message to your school inform them your visa is still in process and it may take 2-3 weeks ; they should be able to let you come in September, missing orientation won’t change anything. The most important thing is getting the visa
In most cases it’s like that , I’m still praying and waiting on mine , i have passed Medicals though and this is the 2nd month . Just be patient and trust God .
You will surely need a medical exam trust me ; they have just not sent you a form yet but you will need one . Is your eligibility and background still in process ?
