Hi , I also submitted my application for student visa for PhD at New Delhi on September 10 ,2009. I also got that my application has been forwarded to IPG department wellington for processing . On October 16, 2009 I got that Visa officer has been allocated to my application for processing. Please let me know in which department your application was forwarded for processing and which branch. I got information that IPG branch , they take one month to complete the processing after allocation of officer. I am also facing same problem.. my scholarship lapsing date is October 31, 2009. I have already intimate them about it. But still I did not get any reply. I am also waiting for my visa

It took 5 months for processing my PhD student visa application i.e ( 4 May to 3 October)

4 May - I submitted my application with TT services and they gave me a receipt acknowledging my application. You can use this receipt number to track your documents while in transit.

12 May- I received a letter stating that my application has been fwded to IPB in wellington for further processing long with my passport enclosed. Until this stage you can track your documents in TT services website.

< After a long wait I emailed them asking for a status on 9 June to the email address given in the letter>
