I know 6 people who are still waiting as of today including me . No updates. All are returning students. I know one who got visa yesterday in 10 working days but he applied piority service and was new applicant. Best to ask your uni to call case working team.

Looks like i aint the only one stuck in this soup.

Here goes my timeline, would be of great help if you guys could help me out :)

I am a new student applying for Bachelors. I choose the Standard processing time cause i had a lot of days left before Univ starts (now cursing myself why i did not take the priority) :roll:

24th July : Applied for tier 4 PBS student visa
26th July : submitted bio-metrics/had an interview/scanned my documents and my passport was taken
from "VFS CHENNAI"
8th August : received a mail from Sheffield saying my application is being prepared for consideration by
an ECO.
18th August : received another mail from Sheffield saying my visa application still remains under
consideration and that they are unable to process it within the 15 day time frame.

I am happy that they atleast sent me a mail on the 16th day. But its kinda frustrating to wait for god knows how long.

I would also like to add that after my interview the interviewer ended the conversation by saying "Enjoy the rest of your days" still debating with myself if that is positive or negative.
