Yeah I also didn't pay the $490 upfront, which is in hindsight not a great idea. I don't think it delays the application by much if anything. I read somewhere that they ask for this payment when they ask for your passport.
I think it won't because you will pay the fees upon receipt of the email. For O ravel which is part of this thread, she receive the email after she went in process and got PPR within two months.

Hi Acecube, Thanks for the info, I see that O ravel paid for their RPRF before they were asked to. I'm thinking of doing that too. Does it make the application any quicker or should I just wait?

I guess if you pay the fees now and provide them with the proof right away, your file will be complete. When the visa officer will review the file, he will not have to request same as it was already provided and make a final decision if no further information is required.

It was I think and I maybe wrong but it does make sense.

congratulations ACECUBE...
you can start searching for flights tickets now ...
Hi Mauritiusbride.

Can you briefly explain to me the process of sending the passport to the consulate?

After how many days did you receive your passport back and do we have to pay any fees?

Did you receive the copr along with the passport?

Thank you kindly Acecube :)
I will speak to my huby and see what he says.
I think it would be better to pay it in advance like you said.. will just speed up the process.

Hi MissSA108, I agree with you, after thinking about this for a while I decided to pay for the Right of permanent residence fee in advance.

Don't forget to state your file number and UCI of the principal applicant if you are sending the proof to the VO. They will generally not acknowledge receipt of your email except the generic auto forward email

Also based on personal experience, please minimise the correspondences between you and the VO unless you are being contacted to provide additional information.

Hope it helps and best of luck for the future.

Wish you all a much speedy process ;)

Thanks for the heads up Acecube.
One more question.. will the visa office mail me any documents or do they only correspond by email?
I'm curious bcoz they have my mailing address wrong on the ecas and I have emailed them twice to correct it but no luck as yet. I'm just worried if they do mail me documents it won't get delivered.

They will generally contact you via email coz it's easy and most practical.

Did they respond to your email?

They will change it sooner or later.

Ok cool.. relieved to hear that.. Thanks.
Nope they have not responded to any of my emails and ecas still showing the wrong mailing address.
I'm worried bcoz my police clearance certificate also got lost in the mail and that delayed my application by two months. And our post office always on strike so they aren't reliable unfortunately.

Hey guys,

I just received my CSQ this friday!! So happy :)

However, i do not know if I should send the csq to Pretoria. In the letter, it says, they have already informed Pretoria that we have been granted the CSQ.

I am unsure. MauritiusBride, can you help please? i see that you too went through csq process.

Thanks in advance!
