Hey guys any idea how many days does it takes to get a CSV visa, when applied from Mumbai. I had applied this January 2017 and the status says "Application has been received at the “The Consulate General of the Republic of South Africa, Mumbai”.

Thank you for sharing these links. They do highlight the fact that it has been an ongoing painful process and can take forever.

Thanks for your comments brother, the situation I'm facing if u could understand then u will never make such a comment like taht. I also facing the same issue and that's why I just want to do whatever I can do to get visa as soon as possible, I know it won't help but no one can sit on his ass and wait for the same.
I'm just trying to find and share whatever I got from others, will pray to god that we all get the positive results and for your information I already left from the group.
I can say the same for u but we all have our own experience.
Good luck
