Visa delayed until after Studienkolleg exam
Hi everyone!
I’m applying for a German national visa for Studienbewerbung/Studienkolleg. I submitted my visa application in Moscow on August 12, and my Studienkolleg entrance exam is on September 1. (I understand that it's late, but I graduated from school only on June 27, and by the time I translated my school certificate and received an Vormerkung from STK, I joined the queue on June 4)
I asked the visa center whether my visa would be ready before September 1, but they told me that they don’t know because there is currently a high workload with student visa applications.
So I’m worried that my visa might not be issued in time and I might miss the entrance exam because of the visa delay.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What happened if your visa was issued only after the Studienkolleg entrance exam had already taken place? What could be the plan B here? (find the ausbildung starting on October 1st?)
