I've applied for study permit in Jan 2019, through vfs dubai, then I linked my application with online application portal. it's been more than 7 weeks but still no reply. on VFS website it's showing the same 'under process in Abudhabi office' and on online application portal the status is "We are processing your application"
yesterday I've placed case specific Inquiry. let's see

is there anyone with the same situation ?

Not the Dubai office, but i'm in the same boat .. I applied at the London office in early november but still no decision, it has been 127 days now or 18 weeks and 1 day. After I missed my start date for my course I started pestering them with specific case enquiries once per month but they always just say the same thing: "we are actively processing your application as quickly as we can blah blah". The college has been understanding but I guess they are losing income by reserving a seat on the course and deferring me to a later start date, at the current rate I wouldn't be surprised if I need to defer again!

Hi All,

I was accepted for the MBA degree for July 2019 intake. I applied study permit online on 13th of April. Received biometrics letter on 14th. Gave biometrics on 15th. I have more than enough funds for my education and for my living during my studies. I believe my LoE is comprehensive. I have no criminal records (police certificate is provided as an attachment on my LoE). I am currently holding USA and UK tourist visas. Both are valid. I had several Schengen visas and countless entries to EU countries without any violation of visa procedures.

When I check my application online I am seeing below:

Review of eligibility - Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.
Review of medical results - You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.
Review of additional documents - We do not need additional documents.
Interview - You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics - We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check - We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision - Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Biometrics:
  • Biometrics Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  • Date of Biometrics Enrolment: April 15, 2019
  • Expiry Date: April 15, 2029
When I check on the site it says 7 weeks to process study permits however, I have discussed several agencies that they told me it's usually between 2-4 weeks. When do you think I should be hearing from the consulate depending on your experiences in Dubai?

Thanks in advance.
