Permanent Residence Timescales and Current Status

2025-06-04T10:18:51-0400

hi all,

I applied for my permanent residence based on a spousal relationship and this was submitted to DHA in Durban in July 2013.

Was originally told that this process can take 24-36 months but also seen some of the updates stating that there is a lot of work being done on backlogs, are any of you experiencing this?

My current permit tracking says Code 103: Processing at Head Office, again any idea what that means in of timescales?

Any advice appreciated!

Hi folks. Where should I get a DNA test for my appeal? Can I use the mobile one or go to Pathcare?

26b usually take more than 2 years plus, but with the new minister it might be less. Please try these emails [email protected] [email protected]

Dear friends,

I want to take a moment to share my journey with you. After eight long years of waiting, my PRP application was unfortunately rejected. It was a heartbreaking experience for both my wife and me. However, in February of this year, I submitted my PRP appeal, and today, I am overjoyed to announce that I have received a positive outcome! I am now officially a PRP holder after 25 years in South Africa.

Through this entire process, I have learned the importance of putting God first and seeking His kingdom. I truly believe that earthly blessings follow when we prioritize our faith.

All glory be to God!

Thank you for your !
