Tooked the whole morning but I walked out with my 3 certificates . ( Think they got tired of my regular visits ) I think your persistence definitely paid off. Well done. Wish I was close enough to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellykd Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Ok here we go again - our previous PCC's are expiring next month and we have been waiting for our visas for 5 months already (187 - don't ask!) so decided to get fresh PCC's. Handed in at Pretoria on Monday 25 January - no sms yet. BTW was pleasantly surprised to walk into the CRC office just before 4.00 pm and found no queue whatsoever!

I read somewhere on here that you can get a new PCC "re-issued" if your current one is expiring. I think it's supposed to be much quicker, though not sure the exact procedure to obtain one.

JackoFam Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 That's going quite quickly @shellykd. We applied on 4th Jan and it only showed on the system 3 weeks later and we still don't have a finalised date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubman Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 We couriered up on 5th Jan and only registered online 2 weeks later. Now just waiting. Showing as post for delivery method although did not send a self addressed envelope as we are wanting to send a courier to collect. Is this normal?

JackoFam Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I just checked the tracking system and my PCC has a finalised date of 17 Feb on but my husbands still has no finalised date. Has anyone experienced this? I am hoping his will be completed today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellykd Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Update - Finalization date was 26 February - so went to check/collect but no luck! Was requested to go back on Wednesday! Will keep you posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubman Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 We received our SMS on 16th. Went to collect last week and they had been posted. Not sure where we messed up as we couriered them up and we're going to collect but somehow it was classified as post. We did not send any self addressed envelope so not sure where we went wrong. Now we wait on the good old SA Post office. Very frustrating as this is the last requirement for our visa to get issued. PS apparently systems were down for a few weeks in January hence the delay for many. Also quite an experience to go to their offices!!!

Stubman - on the website enquiry for us, the dispatch method is HAND so hopefully it should sit there till we collect it ...or ? How did yours get posted ? This is highly stressing .....

Stubman Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Somehow the website showed ours as post. Still not sure what we did wrong. Apparently sent just by normal post so not holding out much hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubman Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Finally received our PCC's via SA postal system (2 months after application) and submitted to CO on the same day as was the last item outstanding. Very frustrated though as does not have my wife's maiden name on even though we mark the form with both. Will this be rejected by CO? Do we have to start the whole PCC process again or could we ask for a re issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I got our PCCs on Friday and hers came with her maiden name on it, and she didn't do anything extra. She went to collect with marriage certificate in hand to get a reprint, as she didn't expect them to print her maiden name. We were pleasantly surprised but I guess this means it's about the luck of the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzystypes Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I got a visa and didn't have my maiden name on PCC. Don't worry. Your name changes when you get married, not your ID number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SML Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I didn't have my maiden name on my PCC, we had been married for almost 9 years when we applied for PR. I got the visa without my maiden name on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubman Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 VISA granted today, maiden name on PCC not an issue!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
