KalahariHarry Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi All,The visas are coming......how do i know?I received the call at 08:47 this morn, a jhb number, looking like the number of my agent, so i answered and said "there's only one reason you'd be calling me right now..."He said no he wanted to find out what the CT weather was like, so I replied "K@K!!!!"Anyway, PR 190 SS ACT granted, with NO visa conditions.Can someone tell me why does everyone say, "check you visa conditions"Anyway no conditions whatever that means.You all will get your soon I'm sure.P.S. I did e-mail the Co's last thursday and asked what was going on - and Boom!!! Visa issued!Trev 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Great news Trevor!! The 190 has no visa conditions attached to the visa however there is the moral obligation to live and work in the state that sponsored you for 2 years. The regional visas will have specific visa conditions listed on the visa, e.g. working in rural areas, etc.Enjoy celebrating! I got such a bad spell of flu the day after we got our grant last week - I think it was my body reacting to the 2 years of waiting in anticipation.

nicknel Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Do you guys think I should follow up with the CO, I sent an email to the agent and he said to wait till they get to my file? I was very dissapointed to hear him say that and not follow up with the CO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcie Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Do you guys think I should follow up with the CO, I sent an email to the agent and he said to wait till they get to my file? I was very dissapointed to hear him say that and not follow up with the CO.I would send another mail to the agent requesting him to follow up with the case officer. You pay Damn good money for their services and this is one service they should be providing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknel Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just sent him an email. Heres praying and hoping for a grant soon.We are going to Mozambique from saturday and where we are going we will have no internet or cellphone reception. We have a Moz number but have to take a drive to get signal. Sure would be awesome having the visa before we go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hearing about everyone's good news, I am genuinely very happy and excited for every family that has been sent that golden email and now has a new future to look forward to. Part of me is jealous (sorry) ..... Thinking, 'damn, if only that could have been me!' And I haven't even been waitng for my 190 that long - lodged 2 months ago, no CO yet. The agent said 2-4 months....I am an optimist and thought, 2 months and we'll have it. But this visa process has turned me in to a bit of a realist. I try to stay positive in the rest of my life but eish, this waiting! Add the thought of saying good bye to family and friends, and the possibility of leaving a pet behind .... Some days this whole process can really chew you up and spit you out!!I hope that everyone here continues to receive good news and that today is a better day than yesterday Moaning, bitching, whining / off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
