Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your experience. My timeline is kind of similar to yours but with a month delay (applied in November). I've read in other threads that it's usually very random the way they process applications. Some people that have applied in January 2021 have already gotten their approval, while people from October-December are still waiting. It's just a matter of patience from now.

Hello guys,

I'm from Brazil and here is my timeline (SP + OWP):

Intake: Originally Jan 2021, deferred for Set 2021
Application Submission: Aug 10, 2020
Medical Request: September 12, 2020
Medicals completed: September 30, 2020
Medicals Passed: October 02, 2020
Biometrics completed: Jan 04, 2021

The vacs in Brazil only opened on December 2020, now we are waiting the final decision. I just don't know why they are taking so long to give the final word.
Here is my timeline: (Brazil)
- Applied online on April 28
- Medical passed on July 23
- AIP recieved on August 4
- Began online studies on September 9
- Biometrics recieved on November 24 (Quito)


Now I'm in my second semester and I'm about to give up. There is no hope for us Brazilians since the consulate doesn't give a shit about us.

Thousands of applications with one year old and no approval. I'm waiting until next month and that's it.
Hi friends. Any updates on your applications?

I believe your processing time starts counting since you gave biometrics. Let's hope you do get your SP before class start. Is your program available online so you can start classes before travelling?
