I submitted my application to the embassy a month ago for study permit after the stress of their medical insurance. I was told to check after three weeks of submission. I did as they said. After three weeks they said it was not yet ready. After a month I went to check again they said it was not ready again and they gave me a number they never picked. They have siezed my international passport for more than one month for the sake of study permit. Friends pls advice me, should I withdarw my international passport or should I continue to wait for them. A friend told me it would have been better to do a visitors permit and process my study permit from south africa. I dont know if that is a better idea.
