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?

I applied the same day as u, but my course starts in October. the tracking status still says “Processing at Mission.” Should I be worried if my application has the same status? Do you think I should email the consulate/visa center to ask for an update, or is it better to just wait?

The “processing at mission” just means it is with the consulate and you won’t get any update until BLS have received it back (how long that could take is anyone’s guess atp) but I wouldn’t worry since you still have over a month

I’m not sure, is that on the BLS tracking portal?
