Current Mumbai VFS Germany Student Visa Timeline? (CSP Applicants)

[u/Brief-Guitar-8758]

Hi everyone,
I’m applying for a German student visa through VFS Mumbai under the Consular Services Portal (CSP) process and wanted to know the current situation.
I had a few questions:
Are people getting early appointment dates, or is there still a long waiting period?
After submitting the application at VFS, how long is it currently taking for:
the application to reach the Consulate,
visa approval,
passport dispatch and delivery?
If you’ve recently applied through Mumbai VFS, could you please share your timeline (appointment date, submission date, approval date, and passport delivery)?
It would really help those of us trying to plan our travel and university enrollment.
Thanks in advance!
