Scoan church Water
Why are you advertising water here? Is this not water from the pastor/prophet whose building collapsed and killed many people? Please address why the prophet didn’t see that coming?

relatives visa aug
This thing of long waiting period is frustrating. I wonder whats really the reason of taking passports. It seems they dont support people who want to do things the right way. Thats why people end up doing border jumping. These VFS guys are just useless
Just feeling silly...

On a lighter note
After such a long wait, I might as well stay at home, why risk dying from polony or melons or whatever comes up next... Embassy staff must up their game or go back home to their polony

I know a couple of people that got 5 year CSVs in 2017 having applied with an offer of employment and got their perm res 4-12 months later. CSV visas usually take between 5-9 months in Zim to process (based on trends)

Yeah, my friend got a 5 year visa. He is an IT professional and had a contract from Standard Bank SA. His Visa came out end of Aug after submitting on 1 April. They needed additional info (don't remember what exactly but he had also forgotten to sign a page on his application form) so they called him early in Aug to come submit the remaining info, then positive outcome end of August.
