Sorry to break it to you..But as your Intake is in 2021 you will get visa.not an AIP.The VACs are not opening in November and whenever they open they are going to open the VAC in phases also the priority will be given to the students admitted to covid readiness approved DLIs. So I think it might take more time than you anticipate.
Is this info legitimate just need confirmation that from wherein you got this information? And also based on your information when the VACs open how long will it take for VISA approval as I have a deadline to submit the required documents to my University before 15th DEC 2020.
