Have any students out there gone through the NY General Consul regarding their Tier 4 application? Anyone know of an estimated processing time? I know they quote 5-10 days, however, I'd appreciate any personal experience. Here's the email I just received:
Dear Applicant
Your application has arrived safely at the New York office and is currently being processed. The estimated processing time for your application is 5-10 working days plus mail time, however no guarantee is given. Sometimes it is necessary to make additional enquiries on an application which will extend the processing time.
You will receive another e-mail advising you of the outcome of your application in due course.
Please note that we are unable to answer status enquiries unless we have exceeded the estimated processing time.
Regards
New York Visa Team.
I start a job on September 21 and would really like to get to the UK in time for that.
