Hey we did receive the visa- had to send the passport to Pretoria but its back now and we have booked his air ticket home. So from when they asked for our medicals to be redone in June it was about 2 months until we were all done and had the passport with the visa in it back.

Hopefully yours comes soon!

I don't know if sponsoring your mom is the same as sponsoring a spouse but for my husbands application after it was transferred to pretoria it took about 6 months before ECas changed to processing and that was ony after I emailed them as his medicals were going to expire. Then they asked for medicals to be redone and it was 3 months later that we got the PR and visa and he landed.

Don't give up! It's a very long and frustrating at times process but worth it in the end. All the best!

Hi, I'm also new to this forum. I applied for a spousal sponsorship for my husband and so far pretoria just requested for police clearance to be sent again as the old one expired. They said we had 60 days to submit it but we sent it the very following day via DHL and its been 25 days since, and we havnt received any response. Waybill shows that it was delivered.

Below mentioned Time line shows as follows when we log in to check current online status: In process
Received application for permanent residence on Feb 25, 2014.
Started processing your application on September 10, 2014.
Medical results have been received. (Were done upfront 8 Nov 2013)

Does anyone know what the next step is? Will he have to re-do his medical? Can the medical be extended? If the medical has to be re-done what sort of time line could we be looking at? Does one usually need to land before meds expire?

Thanks

so just a quick update for folks , we just received letter requesting medicals for my mom and my sister and niece "You are required to undergo the medical examinations within 60 days of the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application."

We have submitted the medical 2 days later and will see if they gonna take up the whole 60days before they answer us

I am also new to this forum. Just wandering if you have heard anything back yet? I submitted my application March 14, 2014 and I have not heard anything back since, just silence. I'm starting to think I should apply for the notes to see if there have started anything on my file.

 

[ferraridekra]

Still No reply since I sent my Police clearance to them which they requested and i sent the following day. Its aready been 8 weeks.

Also its been a year now since my medicals were done which was in nov 2013 so does that mean I have
to re-do them? Or do i have to wait for them to tell me to go and do them again? Are they valid for a year?
does re-doing them apply in every case?

can anyone share their experience?

Hi ONB

Try to tell them your medical has expired if you have done upfront medical and from what I've heard and read they will speed up the process.

The maximum wait is one year from what I've seen so far and I don't to wait that much

Maybe this can help.
