Ya u right with the tuition, if you intentionaly withdraw before outcome of visa , the school will deduct alot .u wont get 90% of your money. well we just have to hang in there and wait . as i knew from other people that applied via cic pretoria . they usually finalise application somewhere within 3months. so hey it might be 3 or 4months. but thats not cool , cant see what is there that cic is really verifying. i bet they dont received lots application than usa or the uk. but those one decide very quick.
