It means they have finalised your application and its on the dispatch counter at Head office or on its ways to your office of application.

To know the outcome you can call your office of application or you can walk in anyday. But for the certificate or whatever it is you need to wait from 5days to 14 days.. and sometimes a month.

But once it shows status 105.. it means that your office of application has receieved it and captured it in their system.

Good luck, I received an SMS too few days ago but still don't know the outcome.

After receiving the SMS...i waiting 8 working days before going to collect the outcome. The anxiety wasn't fun

 

[Bwixie]

any issues when you collected it?

nope....got the certificate and stamp in my port and was on my way.

 

[Bwixie]

That's very good!

I'm sure you did apply for ID? Please can you give us some advice? Appreciated for your help

I didn't apply on that day cos I was rushing back to work but I will go in on Saturday and will give you

Dear all

I did post earlier in this thread, finally I received a change of status on the VFS tracking, however I do not know if this is actually progress:

The current status is:
Application XXX has been received at DHA on 7/2/2014 6:20:55 AM

The old status was:
Application XXX has been received at the Department of Home Affairs for adjudication on 02-Jul-2014

Please advise is this a progress? Otherwise I am willing to take different steps to receive an outcome.

All the best!

Hi there

I'm in the same boat with my son's PR app. I hope this means someone has finally unearthed the file. It's been almost 18 months since I applied :fingerscrossed:

 

[Bwixie]

mine has a critical skills visa. but his experience is less than 5 years so he cant do a PRP on his own. We want to try as a spouse on mine. Is there a minimum number of years you need to be married?

Hi there

I think the minimum is 5 years of marriage

Hi there

Hi Bwixie

When you applied for a PRP for your son which visa did he hold at the time ? I am planning on applying for a PRP for my daughter but she currently has a Visitors Visa valid for 3 years. VFS says you need a relative visa to apply for the PRP . I have been burnt by VFS before lol

Hi there

Lol I have had my own share of running around with VFS . My son was also on the extended visitor visa when I applied for his PRP. VFS has stories but your daughter just needs a to be on a valid visa and you to be a PRP holder for her to apply as your dependant.

Hi guys,

I have had an unusual experience. Halving applied for a spousal PR in Feb 2015 (no updates since then) DHA sent me another application form and asked to complete it and return. They did not ask for ing documents. This is unusual isn't, it?

The frustrating thing is they don't answer their phones neither do they respond to emails. Should I just sit and wait? What do you guys think?

Kind Regards

That is indeed very strange. Did they send it to you via email? I applied for my son's minor relative PR in May 2015 and we got it last month. Maybe someone finally got to your app and realized something was lost/missing

 

[Bwixie]

Can someone please advise the elusive email addresses and numbers to call! I applied for PR 7/7/2016 and the status is:- Application for cheryl glenice has been received at DHA on 7/13/2016 6:49:14 AM

I have been married to a South African for 14yrs and already gone through the trauma of 2 temporary permits, once having to go through the trauma of going back to the UK for a month and leaving my Husband and 2 kids. (my fault as messed up the 60 day thing, didn't realise).
Both the kids have British ports but now have their South African Birth certificates and husband has dual.
It's like living under a black cloud!

If you applied via the spouse route, the trend on this forum seems to be at least 24 months of waiting. My son's dependant PR took 26 months to be issued . I called and emailed lots of people :rant: (s on home affairs website) until I just decided to leave it alone and wait.

Good day all,

I applied for my child PR on this year May 2017 under [SECTION 26(C)]; DEPENDENT OF A SOUTH AFRICAN CITIZEN OR PERMANENT RESIDENCE HOLDER UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS (MINOR).

If i check the status on the tracking site previously it is showing " Application for XXXXX has been received at DHA on 5/11/2017 3:12:06 PM.

At present it is showing like this "Application for XXXXX has been received at DHA on 7/15/2017 3:12:06 PM"

I posted the same in our group long back and everyone advised it's been almost finalized and i am surprising 2 months gone the date changed the status still showing the same.

Could you please advise how can i go ahead with the folloup the date changed on the site and status not changed.

Thank you so much in advance.

Kind Regards

You only applied 4 months ago and it's way too early to start following up (not that you will get any response from anyone btw ) The trend on this forum and my personal experience is that the dependent PR permit will likely take about 2 years to be issued. So for now, try not to be bothered.

Thank you for all the post on this platform.

I applied for my permanent residents in March 2017 under 27g. For an adult child whose father who is Permanent Resident holder.

Then started following on my permanent residents application in July 2017 after following this platform.

I was tossed around by Home Affairs employees since then until today. On numerous occasions or on nearly a daily basis l used to phone the home affairs call center, sometime all the s for immigration on website. Once a week used to send email to all immigration officer l can get their email.

Today I received an email which states the following below:

Re Permanent Residents Application

Thank you for writing into the Department of Home Affairs.

Please note that your application is finalized waiting to be dispatched back to your office of application.

Also note that once they have received your outcome an sms will be sent to you to come and collect.


I don't know when I will receive an sms for of the outcome.

Finger crossed.

I'm following this one...finalized in 6 months only!!
