NewFutureAhoy Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Fffffffffff. Waiting for our certificates as the last step. Some nice chap said they were going on a sign-athon yesterday and today the website is broken, and they are not answering their phones. Wanting to leave end of May and this is really taking forever! Have a few job prospect who say they need my visa asap. Seriously? Time to leave this place of terrible services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFutureAhoy Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Sooooo jealous, Ozpe! Trevor Coetzee, we received an sms on 19 March. So according to your timeline, it should be today. Will get hubby to super stalk them again. I want to do my happy dance like Ozpe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalahariHarry Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Note I did hound them. They say delays due to postal strike and backlogs. If I didnt hound them I fear it would have been another month at least. Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFutureAhoy Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Give me tips on how to hound them? Our agent is going in to check today. My husband also tries to phone them every so often, but we are getting a thousand different stories and timelines. Someone told him yesterday it will be ready Wednesday, but that is what they said last week, it would be ready by this Wednesday. I phoned and he said today, latest Monday. How does no one know?

KalahariHarry Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 012 393 3697/3766I spoke to Daleen, she fetched our out of the pile and signed it off, i dont have her direct line but ask for her and tell her its for immigration, she was an absolute star!!! Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknel Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 When I received mine back, it didnt have my maiden name on there (AFTER asking for it), I called the same day shouting and screaming at them and I got my new one the next day! Unfortunately in South Africa, good service is scarce. you have to shout and scream to get what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFutureAhoy Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thank you for your help! Will try to see if that trick works for us too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFutureAhoy Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Tried both numbers. No one knows a Daleen there. Just my luck! Will have to be patient over the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFutureAhoy Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Thank youI actually ended up asking the police clearance people and got her number in a round about way. She wasn't there, so will phone again tomorrow, but it did help in that they could tell us there were 3000 people before us... Thank you so much for your help!

NewFutureAhoy Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Fyi. They have 30000 police clearance applications to get through. They can't do it at the police station anymore because of all of the fraud. Pretty hectic! Apparently someone is busy with our pile and we should get an sms today or tomorrow morning. They are going on another sign-athon tomorrow and Wednesday. Good luck to everyone with applications! Let's hope it is our chance this time!

NewFutureAhoy Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Jip. After 4 weeks we were told on Friday that we are number 3000 on the list. Clearly need a new plan, this is not working for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFutureAhoy Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Fyi. Huge delay is due to the scanner breaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marconi Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) LOL, the scanner, really???We received the SMS yesterday that our clearances had been finalized. We handed our application personally on the 14th of March 2014. My wife collected it today and we have now submitted to the CO. Now the agonizing wait for a decision begins, hopefully not too long now.I have read in some cases that next day, after submitting PC's, some people received their visa grant e-mail. Let's hope and pray for that Good luck to everybody!!!!! Edited April 16, 2014 by marconi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Not sure how the bunnyhop document guys did it for us, but they got it through in 2 weeks around the December holidays just passed, we were expecting big delays as that is the worst time of the year to do it, costs more to do it through them but i think they have the contacts so well worth it if you in a hurry or not up for doing the chasing yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFutureAhoy Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 We were told by docassist that our documents are already there and no use in trying to submit them again through them... Busy chatting to Daleen, hopefully she can sort it out for us ASAP. We wanna go over beginning of June, which means I need to resign from my job next week... Cannot wait!
