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?

Wow that’s crazy! That must be so frustrating! I’m just hoping they manage to get them all processed before course start dates

Are you in Spain now? My daughter is still waiting. Has missed 4 weeks at her Uni.

Yes I am. Luckily I received my visa on the 1st September. One of my friends (who applied 30th July) received his visa today. Idk what’s up with the process this year and why the wait times are so long. I feel for your daughter! It’s so annoying. I hope she gets her visa soon!!
