Jan intake - No update since Sep - What to do first? Defer my intake or order GCMS notes?

[ChileanGerman]

Hello guys,

Just to make sure, I'd like to ask the pros in this forum if I should order the GCMS notes first and then defer my intake (from January to March) or first defer, send them my web form with the information on the deferral, and then order GCMS notes? What would be the best approach?

Quick info on my study permit appl.:
Aug 20th - applied
Sep 29th - eligibility review started
Since then nothing happened, no answer to my web form from 7 days ago.
DLI (private college) has been on the corona readiness approved list since 12th Jan.

Processing times for Germany state 6 weeks but I've been waiting for over 20 weeks now.

Thank you guys for the amazing help in advance! You rock!

It's not worth it and it looks like a gamble at the moment and getting worser day by day, honest advice would be to withdraw and apply in 2022 or 2023.

Up to you though.

Thanks for your answer! It wouldn't be worth it in 2022 or 23 anymore. But would you first ask the college for deferral and then order GCMS notes or the other way round? Or there's no difference?

No difference.

Apply for notes regardless. Honestly I don't know why people wait to apply for notes. Since you can't be penalized for it, might as well apply for GCMS as frequently as you can afford. Every 15-30 days at the very least.
