does anyone currently have access to the interview scheduling dates?   Is there availability in May still?   I am an IR2 and still havent gotten a date assigned, as thats our process - worrying May will fill before they assign our date

Currently have dates for June 13th, 20th, 27th posted.

Hi all, silly question, but for my interview do I need an unabridged birth certificate? I only have the normal "computer copy" of the original which doesn't have my parents names and details on it only my details.

You will need unabridged birth certificate. I’d suggest you get this done as soon as possible. We all know what home affairs is like and you wouldn’t want this delaying the process.

I have a quick question my visa was approved and hasn’t been updated since the 4th which was my actual interview. Does it normally take this long to update 

[SAlove18 61]

So my case was last updated today but the status hasn’t changed

Hello to everyone

with regards to the proof of relationship, the photos/pictures. All of my pictures were taken on my cellphone , would I still need to have them printed out as actual photos or would it be alright to just put all my pictures in a word document and  print them out on paper with the date, place etc under the picture? 

Thanks in advance 🌸

I applied on my own at home affairs. Was told it would take about 8 weeks . After 4 months of continuous calling and being told there was a problem and it was being escalated , I eventually contacted passport4u. After payment was made, that same day I received an sms from home affairs to collect my certificate. Thought it was a bit odd. So you might want to look into doing it with one of those companies if you are in a rush.

Once the Visa is ready to ship, does the consulate send a text letting you know?  Or does DHL send a text/email with tracking number?
