...or at least his Presidential Hotline does. I am finally after 9 and a half months holding in my hand my Spousal Visa with work endorsement. Had to wait for three and a half hours in the rain outside Germiston HA this morning to get it but it was soooooo worth the wait. It is all thanks to the Presidential Hotline, they 'fast-tracked' my case and if it wasn't for them I would never have seen my permit as HA had lost my application for a third time. I am so so happy and relieved. Finally I can go to SARS and register for tax and start working legally. Excellent start to the weekend

So glad you got it Saartjie, hope you are celebrating tonight!

How long did the fast track take all in all - was it 91/2 months or was that with the HA?

FABULOUS!!!! Must be a huge relief..... there wasn't an icon with someone drinking wine and having a big celebration so this one will have to do.

Lodged my complaint in November 2011 and got the permit now so 'fast-track' took approximately 4 months. Not fast in my books but hey I got my permit so I am happy. Celebrated lots on Friday night.

Guess everything is relative! 4 months is pretty darned good by SA standards.

For many in your shoes it will be a huge relief & godsend not to be out of work for so long - hopefully it only improves so that people feel more positive about going to SA in the first place.

So pleased you had a great Friday night celebrating lot's!:clap2:
