melbourne3000 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 hi and thanks to everyone. yes i applied onshore 143 for my mum and dad. i know that feeling for those waiting for their visa to come through, trust me i been in same situation. i even got mad sometimes that, we paying that much money they should speed up the process like 5-6 months. NOT like 36 months. when i received email saying please pay 2Vac payment in 28 days, i was like "nah mate, ill pay in 28 minutes" hahaha commbank is only few minutes from my house so i just went straight get check and send and done. today is last day for work so plan is put some honey chops on barbe and have one or two. haha i ll let you know soon i get grant email aswell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkz Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 @melbourne3000 Congrats and well done! That was real quick compared to the offshore applicants on this thread. You should have your visa grant within 2-3 days from them receiving the 2nd VAC payment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elza Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Finally got my email from PVC yesterday! Medical is booked in joburg for Wednesday Police Clearance already issued 06.11.2017. My son called center link but they were closed yesterday so he will call them on Monday to organise the AoS. I actually got the email straight from them, they had sent it through to the previous agent employee who no longer worked there and as it just bouncing back they email it direct to me. So we were asked to completed a form 956 to appoint another agent. Strangely enough on Monday our new agent after my son's queries apparently did complete and forward this form! Well I guess not everything is a well oiled machine, errors do occur! The important thing is that according to the email, as soon and the ex agent did not reply, like the same day, they sent it to me, so no days were lost 8n the communication. So I guess I am entering the next leg of my adventure!!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, lets Just say that from the point of seeing the email to at least 10 to 15 minutes I was totally out of control, laughing, shouting, crying, breathing, hyperventilating, running around the car park at work! My son was on the phone with me and he was just laughing and saying Ma! Calm down, just now you gonna hurt yourself! It was too funny!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start I was thinking of how I would go out for dinner and celebrate last night, however all the excitement during the day, the relief, the reality check, letting go, giggling, crying, smiling, laughing uncontrollably, constant goose bumps! thinking about it, running memories through my head, calling my son, booking the medical..... I tell you the release of all those emotions kept in check for like 33 months just came tumbling out! So much so that by the time I got home last night I was exhausted! I bought a pizza on the drive home and that was my great celebration night!🤣😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
