Hi AceCube ,

When checking the cic web site today , the status has changed ,it is no longer in process , it is now showing a decision has been made. They have also added a new line stating that ,your permanent residence decision has been made and the office will contact you in writing.They have contacted me already. I am really excited. They wrote an apology letter to my MP for the delay ,telling him that i will be coming soon.

Thanks a lot for your support , i was almost desperate.

That's great new ONB. At last you have heard from them.

As for me, I've got my notes yesterday and from what I've read, they have accepted that our relationship is genuine. Do anybody know how much time, its gonna take for PPR?

P.S Criminality and security check not yet started.

Any update anyone??

Do anyone know if Pretoria replies to email?

I sent them an email 3 weeks ago but have not yet received a response. This wait is becoming atrocious.

I had sent them an email it's more than three weeks now and no response yet. Did you contact your MP since you have exceeded the processing times?

Hey guys, could someone that completed their application in around 1 year tell me if they had to send documents to Pretoria consistently, or is Pretoria just slow? Were you the only person being sponsored?

Thanks a lot

Hi AceCube ,

I submitted my passport for the visa last week Thursday and they told me it will take 5 business working days. I got more information now and they explained to me why some applications are taking longer. If you submit you application in south africa and you are not a south african citizen it will take a bit longer because they have to do background checking in both countries ,south africa and your country of origin.For some people who have lived in more than 3 or 4 countries in their past 10 years ,the background checking need to be done in all those countries. Before the end of this week i should get my passport back then book the ticket.

I got my notes and the background and security check were not yet started as of 13 May 2015 though my application was already in process. Hopefully it doesn't take long since I have never left my country of origin.

Did they tell you what caused the delay with respect to your application?

They have not answered my email also.

The Delay was caused by my country of origin,they took time to respond to their queries concerning the background check . But all information we provided were clear reason why they did not want me to go through the interview process.

From my notes, they stated they are satisfied that my relation is genuine. Hope Mauritius doesn't take much time to respond to their queries.

My medicals expire on 2 August 2015 and hope they extend same.

Did they told you by what date you have to land when you received PPR?
