Despite recent statements calling the delays a “technical glitch,” the ground reality remains unchanged.
Students who registered on the portal in March are still stuck at the first step, unable to pay and submit documents.
Three months later, they haven’t even entered the actual visa queue.
If these are just the “pre-steps”, how long until a decision? October semester is nearing, hope is fading.

Getting this error while trying to book my German student visa appointment: "Please enter a valid APS and Passport Number." My APS is linked to old passport but I’ve updated everything to new one. Please help, I don’t want to miss my intake! @VFSGlobal
Für Bewerber aus Delhi geht es bei dieser Verzögerung nicht nur um Zeit. Es geht um verlorene Zeit:
— Zulassungen
— Mietkautionen
— Gebuchte Flüge
— Psychisches Wohlbefinden
— Ein ganzes akademisches Jahr
Und wie lautet die Erklärung dafür? Ein vager Hinweis auf eine Panne, ohne dass eine echte Lösung angeboten wird.

For Delhi applicants, this delay isn’t just about time. It’s lost:
➡️Admissions
➡️Rent deposits
➡️Booked flights
➡️Mental well-being
➡️A whole academic year
And what’s the explanation? A vague reference to a glitch, with no real fix.

Es als technischen Fehler zu bezeichnen, mag diplomatische Bedenken zerstreuen, aber für die Studierenden, die immer noch in der CSP-Schwebe feststecken, keine Unterlagen einreichen können und nicht weiterkommen, ist das Problem noch lange nicht gelöst.
Diese Diskrepanz zwischen Worten und Taten sorgt für Verwirrung statt für Beruhigung.

Calling it a technical glitch might ease diplomatic concerns, but for students still stuck in CSP limbo, unable to submit documents or move forward, it’s far from fixed.
This mismatch between words and action is creating confusion, not comfort.

Students from New Delhi are still waiting months beyond the promised 3month standard for visa appointments
Other consulates seem faster, but Delhi applicants feel forgotten
We just want timely processing
plz address this urgently
#GermanyVisaDelay@AmbAckermann@GermanyinIndia
My friend got their German student visa within 43 days from the Kolkata consulate. Meanwhile, Delhi applicants from March are still waiting endlessly. Why is there such a huge difference? please wake up and ensure fair processing for all! @AmbAckermann@GermanyinIndia
Visa delays don’t just affect admission timelines. They stall entire lives.
Students have quit jobs, declined internships, taken loans, and paid thousands in non-refundable fees,all based on a process they thought was predictable.
What they got was silence, confusion, and indefinite waiting.
A single consulate backlog should not have the power to derail so many futures.

Students from New Delhi face indefinite delays. Meanwhile, other consulates (Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata) process student visas in under 3 weeks.
This disparity is not just frustrating, it is fundamentally unfair.
Delhi applicants do not lack preparation. They have the same APS, funds, insurance, and offers, just no timeline, no visibility, and no way forward.

@GermanyinIndia Kindly try to reduce 3 month wait time . What’s the point of CSP portal if it can’t reduce processing time? North Indian students should be redistributed across other consulates in order to reduce the workload of Delhi. @AmbAckermann@KasparJoMeyer
North Indian students are facing serious setbacks.
CSP portal delays at @GermanyinIndia mean 6–12 months just to apply for a visa.
This is costing us careers, money, and peace of mind.
We request urgent intervention to fast-track the CSP process.
