How long did you wait from the day you received the sms of finalization to the date that you collected. I have heard that some people wait about a month but the sms they sent me says 5 working days?

Kind Regards
 
Hi all

Please help.
We applied for PR in February 2014 and all the time it has been sitting on code 102.Today when i checked its now on code 103.I then phoned home affairs and the consultant said the application is now with the adjudicators and this was only updated today.

Does anyone have a rough idea on how long it takes for our application to move from this stage to code 104?
What happens on code 103?

Under what section did you put up your application on?
 
Hi

Usually on 103 things start moving...code 103 means 'processed.Sticker or certificate g'...it should move to code 104 within the next week or 2.....code 102 is always the code where most applications get stuck.

Thanks!Crossing our fingers.
It took about 7 months on code 102 and today 103,so maybe the application will take 8 months as per home affairs.

Hummm, I'm not trying to burst your bubble but here is the situation: My husband, on a quota work permit, applied for PR in January 2014. It sat on code 102 (received at application office) for 6 months. Only in June it went onto 103 (processing at head office), to this day. So you still have a long way to go. Call centres always tell you that it's with adjudicators to appease you but in reality it's none of that... Patience is the key word with HA.
 
Hi Dallant
Thanks for the information,anything is possible with them.
What do they say when you phone them?
With me i had to open a case last week and also our company is using a lawyer to speed things up,apparently the lawyer sent letter of demand last week.
So im not sure if this is the reason for the change to the next stage or its simply home affairs work.
I will keep you updated on our application.
 
He applied in January. It took 6 months from 102 to 103, I never saw 104 and I've been checking at least once a week, then this morning I checked 9 after 3 months of being on 103) it was 105-go collect outcome at office of application. Good thing he was off today, i called him and he went the HA, got it, now it's at 106-already collected. Good luck! :)
