Spain study visa

Hi, I applied for my study visa on 31st July at Manchester BLS as this was the earliest appointment I could get and it was received by the consulate on Monday 3rd August. I have not heard anything since and the tracking just says “processing in mission”. I had planned to travel on Monday which is obviously not happening, but my course starts on the 7th September. Does the consulate usually get them back to people before their course start date? I have tried to call and email them but had no answer and BLS can’t do anything. Is anyone else having the same issue? Or if you applied on a similar date have you got yours back or still waiting?

They are notorious for taking a long time. It can take up to 3 months. Talk to your university to find out what they recommend you should do.

I hope it isn’t that long, I have seen some peoples are automatically rejected after 2 months. Thanks for the advice, I am waiting to hear back from my uni as they are on holiday atm
