Does it really take a minimum of 7 weeks to process a student visa for Spain?
My appointment is on July 14th, and that is exactly 7 weeks from my departure date. They say on the website that they cannot accept visa applications less then 7 weeks before departure. Also, if it takes a minimum of 7 weeks to process, would i have to pick up my visa on the day of my departure, which is September 1st.

A student visa takes more than 6 weeks to be processed; you are advised to apply for the visa as early as possible; never heard of a provisions that national visa may not be applied for earlier as 7 weeks before travel; Schengen tourist visa may be applied for 3 months prior to travel; the Spanish consulate in Chicago recommends to apply for a student visa as early as three months in advance! http://www.consulate-spain-chicago.com/student.htm ..
