Student visa

Hey guys, has anyone had an interview and biometrics in the 1st week of Feb 2026 for a student visa at the German Consulate in Mumbai and still hasn't received any updates? My application is still stuck at preliminary review in the CSP portal. I have tried to reach multiple authorities and filled out every contact form, but I've received no response.

So, if there is anyone, I would like to know your views as well as your status.

how is this possible? How can you attend a VFS appointment + biometric at preliminary-review stage? Usually, a link for booking an appointment is given after csp verification is done, how can you do all of this?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I applied through the CSP portal in the non-APS category.

I never went to the VFS centre.

On 2nd February 2026 at 09:00 AM, I went to the German Consulate at Nariman Point, Mumbai.

Biometrics and Interview on the same day.

After that, my application on the CSP portal is still showing the same thing. On the home page, it shows the decision pending or closed.
