Can anyone please advise urgently? I did apply for my naturalisation at Randburg. However they didn’t put my trace and track 035 and no reference Number. However I paid 300 rand. They told me! There will be an interview. The manager will call you either this week or next week. Did Anyone face this before? What does that mean?

 

[John88]

I think it has to do with language test. I think it is just strategy to frustrate and delay applucations. Myself was lucky coz i did the language test the day i submitted my documents. They only send your file to head office in pretoria once your language test and police clearance is done.

I have done my English test online as well! Accredited company so let’s see what they will come up with. They have to submit the application within 5 days from the front desk received it.

my citizenship application got approved. However, still waiting for induction. does anyone know When is induction happening for 2023?

 

[John88]

Congratulations!
may you kindly give me detail about the exact documents required when making an application for citizenship. The complete set of documents. Are ther any letters required from your country of origin and how are they obtained?

First step is to your PRP and before do the verification. Home affairs will do police clearance.
it can takes up to one year.
Second phase
Filling the form of citizenship. Copy of your ports and visas. Your degrees. List of days you left the country it should be less than 90 days per year. Letter from your home country ( police clearance, dual citizenship). It can take up to one year to finalise the application

Phone call a day before

You don’t need to be called or emailed. If your application was approved! You may go to the place where you applied, you can them put to your name on the list! Some ppl went to attended the induction without being called. The trainer will put your name on list of attendees. s/he will update the system. Wait for two weeks to get certificate! After you informed about certificate, wait another one week to apply for ID. the process of getting ID won’t be more 14 working days. On the same of getting ID, you can apply for the port. You will get it within 5 working days. The good news all ppl applied for citizenship from 2018 until now they will get their certificates before November 2023.

 

[John88]

Do they call you when the certificate is ready or you have to go to your office of application to enqire if the certificate is ready for collection?

You need to check With the office. Sometime they don’t call at all.

 

[John88]

Thanks for the swift response. I will check with them next. For interest sack, have you received your certificate as yet?

I havent yet! Not ready yet.

 

[John88]

Hi John , can you please share how long it took for your approval? I have Proof of PRP / Letter of dual nationality from Home country as well as IELTS English test result and list of all the trips in/out RSA ( way below permitted 450 days) Was your PRP Under Critical Skills ? Thank you

My application processed within 6 months! From verification to induction almost 12 months.

 

[John88]

This is super positive , thank you and your PRP was under Critical skills or other Category ?

Under critical skills

 

[John88]

My naturalisation application was approved Dec 2022. Today I received sms stating "Adjudication on your application is now complete". Not sure what this means since Ive bn waiting for induction date since Dec?

The best way is to go home affairs office to see if you scheduled to attend the induction this year.

 

[John88]

Inductions in KZN offices 11 - 13 July. You pick one day. Start time 9am

Did you receive your citizenship certificate?

 

[John88]

Induction done in KZN. Was an interactive session around the Constitution & Bill of rights. Certificates will be ready in 2-3 weeks time, all other things being equal. Well attended session, some guys travelled from other provinces.

Does that only apply to KZN? as far as I know no certificate has been issued to anyone yet. If anyone received the certificate from Gauteng please inform us!

 

[John88]

I attended induction on the 23rd of May 2023 in Johannesburg. No certificate yet.

Any news yet on the certificate? I believe the certificate would be within 3 weeks from now. Usually 3 months after attending the inductions!

 

[John88]

Did anyone from the group got the certificate after attending the induction in may 2023?

 

[John88]

Hi Guys
Anyone been called to sign Declaration of Allegiance yet? Been super quiet since inductions were done. Not sure if delay has anything to do with Citizenship regulations which the Minister briefly published via DHA website and immediately retracted....

unfortunately, nothing yet. Do you have any idea about the new regulations as I cannot see any update yet

 

[John88]

Good progress, lets celebrate these small wins. There are batches of guys inducted early and mid 2022, early and mid 2023; still no certificates issued. Some guys inducted in 2022 repeated the process this year. Not a smooth trackable process, things happen when they happen, cant be pushed.....

Do you have any idea why no certificate yet?

 

[John88]

There was an induction in Johannesburg (Harrison St.) on Wednesday. Take my word certificates are coming out very soon. Christmas present awaits.

I did follow up with them. Apparently they have no clue

 

[John88]

I spoke with the general director office today regarding the certificates. Unfortunately no certificate will be handed over as all citizenship applications went for another stage which is deep verification. Apparently some of applications got approved without being verified or they are not qualified for citizenship. The good news is they will start handing over the certificates from February or march as the certificates are printed already and waiting for final approval and signature!

 

[John88]

Just a quick update on naturalisation certificates. Currently Home Affairs, just busy with 2019 applications for final approval and hand over their certificates. Did anyone receive the certificate yet?

 

[John88]

I don't think anyone has received any certificates yet. Why start from 2019, what of other years

Unfortunately, I have no clue! Hopefully we will have a better idea after 30 June 2024
