Indian person on false visa
I am aware of a person: Ashok Kumar Tiwari from Global diving solutions. He brings students as an agents from India to BS Diving School in Hermanus. He doesnt pay tax on his commission and comes on a tourist visa every 3 months of so. He brags that he pays people to get his students in. He should have a permit for business. He also sexually harassed me at BS Divers when I was still working for them. What can be done about this person?

I've tweeted Sushma Swaraj number of times. No response from her.

Seems like they will only help the cases which are getting them publicity. We are just the numbers. They all are after fame. Press also not interested since they busy with debates on demonetization.

Relative Visa
Who exactly is this website for? Does anybody from the embassy look at the comments or is it just for applicant's? My husband applied in September 2016 and still has had no joy with his application? Is there anybody competent or qualified to provide us with a reason for the delay. The embassy may be closed from the 24th of December till 2nd of January but looks as if they holiday throughout the year

CSV applied on 22nd Aug
@Lalit - That's strange. It doesn't even make sense. I think reason might be something else. Because, if somebody have a job offer from SA and currently employed in India, then his application would get rejected!

One of my friend recently moved to SA on CSV. He was employed in India. He applied like 15 days before I did and he had no offer from SA. His Visa came through with 70 days.

CSV applied on 22nd Aug
@Lalit - I am currently employed. So, resignation for current company won't be there and hence not submitted. However, I have submitted the relieving/experience letters (not resignation letter) from my previous employers.

I was told all the applications from Oct will be dealt with during last week. When I rang them on Thr they asked me to check with VFS this week.
