Embassy of South Africa in Harare

@CALISTO
I personally dont know much about that Board but if your Degree is SA obtained your chances are extremely high that you will obtain CSV. Perhaps more people here might advise you further.All the best

SACNASP - The struggle is also real there
Hi Calisto.

As far as the board matters are concerned, the information which I have seen/ witnessed here is kind of like embassy-adjudicator dependent. I say this because some only used the certificate, especially the IITPSA board, and no letter, and my own friend was given a CSV. However, SACNASP , for natural scientists, is a tough board, which I also want to get into as a candidate, and possibly do their courses, and see what happens. But try, the gods maybe with you...

Csv
@ nhamo highest qualification is a degree board is SACNASP

@CALISTO
Name of Board & highest Qualification....so that someone with relevent experience can advise you accordingly?

CSV
HI ALL I DONT HAVE CONFIRMATION OF CRITICAL SKILLS LETTER BUT I HAVE REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE ,REGISTERED AS A CANDIDATE NOT PROFESSIONAL IS THIS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO APPLY FOR CSV PLEASE ADVISE

Embassy closing date
Guys does vfs and embassy and vfs close at the same time. I see on the bfs website they are closing on the 22nd. When does embassy close.

@2app
Do you have the necessary documents then four CSV ie Board letters especially. Did you register with IITPSA if yes then apply before the stated due dates but you would also need police clearances which take time for SA one. If you're not yet registered with the board then do so now and prepare your documents by then hopefully your spousal visa will be out and you can do csv in SA.

But still there's the ZEP issue did you register for it as a back plan because if your spousal visa is rejected then you will become illegal which is a difficult spot to be in.

I agree with Nhamo you need to choose one visa and see it through.
All the best....

@Ebenezzer
Misinformation was the challenge. I graduated with a critical skill not long ago and was told by IITPSA that i should gain 1 year experience first before i can even register with a professional body as a member because they did not allow me to register as a student they wanted you to be full time student. i was part time student studying with UNISA hence I went the spousal route because I married an SA citizen. the new information only came to light recently that even with less than 1 year experience you can apply critical skill visa.

@2 Applications
wow so you all over zsp,spousal,csv !!

If you have the professional Board letters,police clearances & all other docs ready then go ahead and apply .VFS SA last day of submission for 2017 is 20 December your ZSP expires 31 December so you have 15 days to Act !

The Zim application if issued has no implications as it will not be on passport !

Not renewing ZSP,not applying CSV and you get unfavourable outcome on Spousal visa application can make you situation very tricky & undesirable.All the best

@2app
Pari tricky personally I would have applied straight to CSV from ZSP and not spousal. I see CSV is taking a week only here in SA since November . I would apply kuno and forget about the Zim application but then i'm a risk taker.Im sorry I can't assist on this one.
