I'm in the United States and my regional office is the New York office. I haven't heard anything from the New York office either other than "end of the month."
Congrats @Y.J Chen! What country did you apply from?
I've also applied for the language course grant and my status has been "selection made" since the middle of February! I called my regional DAAD office and was told that they would post the decisions by the end of the month so I'm hoping to hear this week! ?
