New York Consulate for Study Permit, 5 Weeks, still waiting.

[matcha101]

sigh, I submitted my study permit application to NEW YORK consulate about 5 weeks ago and never got any kind of response. I am graduating from my school this weekend and need my passport to leave the US soon, besides the school in canada starts in the beginning of Janurary. What should I do? Should i just keep waiting? thanks!!

i got the response from chc buffalo just after 15 days.u can contact them through e.mail..

 

[matcha101]

oh really? so you got your visa after 15 days? is that a student visa though? cuz i think study permit requires more time than Temporary visit visa. thanks!

 

[matcha101]

i sent them an email yesterday and still waiting for their response. They said they wont reply to the cases within the processing period. I dont know if they mean the "minimum 30 days" processing period or the "6 weeks" period listed on the website. im so confused...

no actually my wife stay was more than six months in India. so chc buffalo send the medical forms after 15 days to undergo a medical exam.completed her medical on 6th Dec. hopefully get the approval in 1st week of Jan.
