Status on CSV
Hello Swagat,

For me Official time duration was told about 45 to 60 days, I had applied for CSV on June 28th, its been more than 2 months now. Yet I haven't received any update on my Visa status. Online portal says the same status as its showing it for you.

Have Patience. That's the only way.

If you would have had any job offer in hand from SA employer, probably your visa processing would have been faster I guess so.

Regards,

VISA for Rajkumarie
Hi,

My sister has adopted a child from India and the SA embassy in india does not want to grant the child she adopted a visa even thou all the information has been provided.

The adoption agency from South Africa has given them a call to ensure that all the information provided is correct.
The agency said they would provide whatever info the embassy would require but have yet to receive any request from them.

Please assist us urgently.
