Mumbai VFS Winter 2026 Master's Visa - Any updates/Current Visa Timeline?

I have already appeared for my VFS Mumbai Visa appointment for Master's in Engineering (with APS) in Germany (Public University) for Winter 2026

- Current Status on CSP: Decision pending
- On VFS tracking website: under process at Embassy of Germany in India

  1. How long will it take till a decision is made on my application?
  2. Anybody who also applied during the same time for Visa, please comment with your status, Thank you.

Below is the timeline of things:

- Applied on CSP for Student Visa (Preliminary Review) : 8th April

(Docs. submitted include Confirmed Admission Letter, APS, Blocked Account confirmation - Expatrio, both incoming travel and preliminary health Insurance, IELTS 8.0, Geothe A2, All Marksheets and transcripts, work experience letters, CV, LoRs)

- Corrections received on CSP: 10th and 13th April
- Application preliminary review completed: 14th April

- VFS Mumbai Appointment booked: 14th April (for 27th April)

- VFS Mumbai appointment: appeared and completed on 27th April

- VFS Notification (Application received): 27th April (right after appointment at VFS Mumbai)

- VFS tracking website status: a. Dispatched to Embassy of Germany in India (Early morning 28th April) and then, b. Under Process with Embassy of Germany in India (an hour later, Morning 28th April)

- CSP Status: "Decision pending" on the evening of 28th April

<No Updates afterwards till today, it has been 8 working days at the Embassy since 28th April>

Reading somewhere, i found that no updates so far after "under process" on VFS tracking and "Decision Pending" status on CSP means that Embassy has no queries or there are no pending documents or clarifications/queries which is good!! meaning :
=> My application is fully complete without pending docs.

27 April, Morning - I was visiting Mumbai for a day

and found a stray Kitten on the roadside (besides

footpath) near Mahalaxmi station exit on the Dr. E

Moses Road, exactly opposite to Petzone Clinic/

shop.

The Kitten looked to be in very poor condition, very

thin and chewing on some wood waste out of hunger

I guess, with no mother cat in sight.

Fed the cat some baby cat food (Whiskas Jr.) from

Blinkit and then I had to leave for work.

If you know some animal rescue/adoption centres or

people leaving nearby can check/adopt the little guy

it would probably save a baby's life.

I have already left the city. Requesting any good

samaritans in Mahalaxmi area to have a look.

Thank you.

exactly opposite to it)
