please has anyone (especially Ghanaian) received student permit for 2017 intake?
My application has been at the embassy since 3rd September last year and have gotten no response, not even a mail to come for my medicals.
please do comment because I'm really disturbed. I have already missed my first admission date and missing the second might affect my funding for my PhD program. :(
 
Hello Macqi- Sorry to hear about your situation. I am also in the same boat as you. I filed for a work permit on October 21 and to this day I am yet to receive any information. I also know of 2 others in the same situation. There seems to be a current push by the accra visa office to process permanent residency applications versus other types of visas. That said I hope you hear something by the end of the month.

Did you apply online or paper?
 
I submitted paper application on 25th of August at the application center and was received at the embassy on 3rd September.
 
I think there is always a problem with the embassy from September applicants downwards each year. I knew lots of people including me who applied September 2015, but received my visa in March 2016. It will come just that it will take longer than expected
 
I applied for visitor visa peper based at pretoria office South Africa on the 10 of August 2016 still to day nothing no update i would go to attend the conference last September and the processing time was that time 10 days but still to day no news from them

I would contact your visa office if I were you. Something is not right.
