They're scheduling some for interview recently o and the problem is that the date of the interview is always very far. Like 10th of February. How will the person meet up with school deadlines
They didn’t send them interview invitations because of the SLA mail
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Munchy22: 3:48pm On Jan 28
Some people receive an empty NSF message and mistake it for an SLA notice.

SLA not met clearly states: “We may not be able to decide your application within the standard processing time.” It does not say this is because they need additional documents or information from you.

There are two different situations people often confuse:

• SLA not met (non-complex): This simply means they may exceed the standard 15 working days. It is not the applicant’s fault; the delay is on their end.
• Not straightforward (NSF): This means the application requires further checks or information and may take longer to process.

In short, SLA not met ≠ NSF. They mean different things and should not be treated as the same.

It's like this SLA not met is not a good sign ooo
That’s not true. It’s an automated message. I’ve seen someone get approval email 2 days after.
