How many days since you applied?
I’m waiting since like 65 days and my main concern is that I cannot defer as I’ve paid my hostel fees’ first non-refundable installment of $1275 and it’s my parents’ hard earned money that I cannot afford to see go down the drain as I’ll have to pay them again when I go next; if my application needs to be deferred till September.
I’ve heard from accepted students and agents alike that the embassy knows that you need to join on the date mentioned and they make a decision before that so you’re not left at the edge of the cliff..
