I think that means they will give an AIP as September is the biggest intake for students if not now then maybe later. Because if they reject the visa then students can really appeal and demand the fees back or whatever action is appropriate.

It says "approved" or "applied".
See everything is risky nowadays. What can we do?
Approval or not, we are having to stay at home for September. I have approval but not able to travel.
Assuming good things and assuming you guys get approval, how do you plan on travelling?
