waiting for more then a month ??

[ssultan]

Hi all,

I am Sohail From Karachi, Pakistan.
Well i have applied for study permit on 20th oct 2008 and got medical letter on 30th oct 2008. After my medicals i re-submitted my passport on 10th Nov 2008. now today is 17th Dec and there is no response from embassy. I even try to call islamabad HC but they said they dont provide information on phone. i have to email them or fax them. ( I already had emailed them on 15 dec asking about my status .. and in auto reply it says they will respond to my email with in 10 days :s  means i will get reply on 25th dec.) .. i also fax them yesterday but no reply from there side. what should i do ?? ... i assume that embassy will remain close on 25th dec due to Christmas holidays/new year may be. My classes are starting from 5th of jan and i have to reach there before this date. ?? I dont knw what to do ?? is there any way to know my visa status ??

can any body tell me i am late or is it a normal processing time ??? few of my friends got visa with in a month. but in my case embassy is taking to much time .. my all documents were complete ... so ... i haf no clue why its taking longer ???

Please help u know any thing??

Thank You
