I've read a lot of timelines from people all over the world. I would like to see timelines from people applying for study permits from Latin America. I have the perception that it's taking approximately two months for approval as seen on other people that have gotten theirs approved. Please share your timelines and status.

Hey dude, I'm from Dominican Republic and here's my timeline.
Office processing my application: Mexico City
Intake: Originally Jan 2021, but already deferred for May 2021
Application Submission: Oct 19, 2020
Biometrics completed: Nov 25, 2020
Medical Request: January 8, 2021
Medicals completed: January 14, 2021
Medicals Passed: January 16, 2021
Last January 18 I received a letter request. I was given 10 days to provide additional proof of my common-law relationship through email. I sent them all additional documents nine days after.
Since then I received a email stating they had received the documents. After that my application hasn't had any updates. I'm just waiting for final decision.

You had to do medicals for you and your common-law partner? I'm applying with my wife as companion and I just received medicals letter for me (already sent). Check my timeline in my signature.

The vacs in Brazil only opened on December 2020, now we are waiting the final decision. I just don't know why they are taking so long to give the final word.

I experienced something similar with biometrics. I received biometrics letter on November but the VAC in my country was closed. After almost two months waiting, I decided to travel abroad (US) to give biometrics.
Here is my timeline: (Brazil)
- Applied online on April 28
- Medical passed on July 23
- AIP recieved on August 4
- Began online studies on September 9
- Biometrics recieved on November 24 (Quito)
Now I'm in my second semester and I'm about to give up. There is no hope for us Brazilians since the consulate doesn't give a shit about us.
Thousands of applications with one year old and no approval. I'm waiting until next month and that's it.

It must be really frustrating. Thanks for sharing your experience, I hope you get a positive resolution.
The same happened to flights from Mexico and Caribbean countries last week. Things are getting complicated, and many latin applicants are still waiting for an answer in regards to their applications. I'm getting tensed about all this.
Hey guys any good news? I've been very tensed lately about the whole process. The office handling my application (Mexico) seems to me that stopped working for about two months. I haven't heard of anyone getting visas approved frrom them for a while. This waiting is ridiculously frustrating.
