For now keep the faith. Reading the bible will help you a lot because this waiting is traumatising. I like what you say about reading the Bible :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPanda Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I, for one, am renouncing as soon as I possibly can. My birth certificate will always say I was born in Bophuthatswana, so I reckon if any of my descendants ever get a crazy yearning for danger/adventure then they can apply for the needed paperwork. In the meantime I want to be rid of the aggravation of dealing with any part of South African bureaucracy/corruptocracy. And in the unlikely event I ever visit in South Africa I want to know the Aussies will get me out if anything goes wrong. If you keep RSA citizenship they will simply say "You are a citizen in your own country, not our business if they're rioting." So yea, that's my 5c But then, I'm not 'trying Australia out'. I immigrated- one way only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumbie Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 The last man standing has finally made it...!!!!! After a looooong wait, the visa was finally granted this morning at 3.43am (after 5 months and 9 days of stress and anxiety). You guys have been awesome on this group (April/May visa group). We have encouraged each other over the past few months and have kept each other going I wish everyone success for the future. Maybe one day we will gather around a braai in Aussie and talk about the stress we went through All the best 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samie Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 @Kumbie congrats mate...It was worth waiting for. Here is to the short period of packing up and wrapping out everything. Where are you heading to? We are going to Melbourne & arrive on 25th Nov, it's exciting how we wrapped up everything so quick from job offer to accommodation in just a month and some weeks since the 19th of Sep grant. Well done once again for being strong!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
