I applied for my APS certificate in January and got the certificate in February without any issues. Since then I have renewed my passport and now my APS certificate is linked to the old passport number. 

I applied for visa with my new passport number and scanned pdfs but when go to vfs to book the appointment with my new passport it shows invalid reference. 

Now I am able to book the appointment with my old passport number and I found the APS documentation stating that if my passport number gets changed I can just book with old one and carry both passports to the visa center.

I tried to confirm with the VFS center if I can go ahead with the appointment with old passport and carry both of them, also told them that APS recommends this still in every call and mail they said to renew my passport number in the aps document with the new one only.

I have also mailed the APS but no reply from them yet and I don’t know how long that will take or whether it’ll be new APS recalculation with new requirements of the new test.

Confused whether I should just book the appointment and take my chances at the center or just wait in the hope APS will respond to the email since they don’t have an office or phone number to contact. 

If anyone had the same issue and went in with the old passport can you describe the process or will the discrepancy create issues or lead to visa rejection

I have been accepted in university of Hamburg for the masters course in intelligent adaptive systems. A mixture of AI and CSE and some hardware robotics knowledge. I have yet to apply to 8 more colleges but most of them are pure software. My ask here is should I accept the offer I have currently in university of Hamburg? Is it a good university with worthwhile education and job opportunities later and is the course worth it. Or should I keep looking for other colleges.
