Yes BMS telling the truth, this time of this year in this platform we were getting so many negative reports, but in july things changed.

They wont clear these visas fast but its good to be hopeful but they will take their time.I remember someone said you must use this time to pray for your visas co the rejections are very high at this time of the year.

I am just keeping my fingers crossed because I think they are clearing Jan study permits then they start issuing study and work visas concurrently. We will see what happens next week

@CSV August
i'm getting further updates that suggests that some august CSV's may come back by end of march because they have indeed been processed but need final approvals (from pretoria i believe) so should come back very very quickly once they get through the backlogs

A reliable source told me to expect outcomes for other visas as from the 14th March. It appears all sources are pointing to next week!

Last week my contact at the embassy said CSV outcomes should start trickling in at VFS Byo & Hre from Tue 13 March. It could be earlier depending on the availability of the signatory because some visas have been processed but are waiting for the signatory to approve and issue them.

@Antony
How credible is your source? My contact at the embassy said they needed a week to clear up study permits and that was last week. They said August CSVs were at the last stage of processing and would be available mid March?

This is a scenario that happens every year.

Normally,by mid to end of March ,most study visas would have been cleared.

You will see that CSVs will be processed at a faster rate once they complete the student visas first
