Received dependent visa with wrong details
applied my son's dependent visa in Pune office on 29 August 2016. I am holding valid Quota work permit with control number A06264236. I applied my son's dependent visa on my visa. Ref. number: PUAC/290816/0005/01
Passport Number : P1220129

I submitted all my (mother's) document to get the dependent visa of my son on my visa. But now the dependent visa of my son came on his father's visa and not on his mother's visa.

Let me know even after submitting all the documents for dependent visa on mother's visa how come visa came on his father's visa.

CSV applied on June 21-06-2016
Hi,

I applied for CSV on the above mentioned date in Mumbai consulate and haven't received my visa till now. Is there anyone who is aware of the current status of the CSV processing going on in Mumbai consulate? I already have a job offer with a big MNC bank and have applied under financial investment advisory category.

Also, just want to know if requesting for expedition helps the process at all?

Many thanks.

Regards,
VK

Hi Raju,

As you have received SA CSV Visa.. I believe you and your friend have moved to SA or are you guys in process of moving?
I would like to get in touch with all you guys who has already got CSV visa, so that we can share and discuss on the proceedings on moving to SA.

If I'm not wrong, I believe all you guys are IT professionals.

Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks.

CSV Processing
Hi Raju

Thanks a lot for the info.
Hope my visa as well processes at the earliest.

But the problem here is, we are unable to follow up the status from the consulate level or no proper response when contacted them. If that would have been in place, the whole process would have been very smooth and no confusions..
