Application No: BAGL/160816/0002/01 (Name Mrs. Yagnasree Mandalapalli)
My husband is working as research scientist in South Africa so, have applied for dependent visa on 16th of August, 2016 But, Unfortunately so far i didn't get visa and When we tried for tacking application, status displayed as the application received at consulate. We are newly married couple so, we would like live together in South Africa and want to make life comfortable during our days in Durban, but delay of visa makes our life trouble. In this regards i am seeking your favor to get early approval. Here with i mentioned application number for your reference "BAGL/160816/0002/01 (Mrs. Yagnasree Mandalapalli)". Your favor in this regards is more appreciated.
Thanking you

Visa Extension
Dear Consulate General of South Africa,
Recently I have applied for Visitors VISA on the purpose of business which is valid till 31st December 2016.
However, for each business visit I can stay only a maximum of 15days.
I would like to request you, is there any possibility that this VISA can be extended from 15days to 30days per visit ?

Kindly provide me the details in either of the cases (Yes or No). Such that I will follow the necessary steps and initiate the process according to the information provided at the earliest.

Kindly advise the status of the South African Critical Skills Visa
Hi Sir/Madam,

Kindly advise the status of the South African Critical Skills Visa on given details.

I had applied for CSV on Aug 8th. I’m having job offer from South African Employer and I was told that the visa process will be faster if having job offer from SA Employer. yet I haven't received any update on my Visa status. Online portal says the same status as the time of applied.
"Application has been received at the “The Consulate General of the Republic of South Africa, Mumbai”.
I had Quota work permit which was expired last year.
