Thanks sultan..yes she is comming along..but not just yet..say 6 months after I'm 'settled' in d Republic. She has a job here too so I don't wanna pull her off just like dat. So I'm saying is it alright I go ahead n apply alone now (indicating of course dat I'm married), get d visa, move n settle in d republic, den she files (say 6 months afterwards) to join me.?

you can apply alone, if you indicate that you are married, you will have to submit your marriage certificate and her bio page. Take a look at the requirements, if you dont have, I can email you.

she can apply for the spousal permit anytime.

.For witz it is likely he will loose or he has lost the admission already the School don't tolerate late registration but Miracle can still happen .

my friend registered late in april last year at faculty of Engineering wits.. anything can happen, wits sent his admission letter very late, so he should email the faculty secretary. if he gets there april he can still register, otherwise he has to wait till june/july to register

pyr8te:
Hello all, please for a married person that wants to apply for a Critical Skills Visa, is it compulsory that the accompanying spouse (d wife in this instance) submits her application for spousal/dependant visa at the same time?

If no, is it advisable she does so or does filing for it after the husband might have received his work permit (and/or emigrated to SA) diminish her chances of being granted the visa? Thanks in advance for your kind responses

Not compulsory, but if she is coming along then she has to submit with you for a spousal permit and attach your marriage certificate

tweb1:
I was offered admission to wits university on 28th Jan. I manged to finally submit my study visa application yesterday 12th feb. Lectures are starting on 16th febuary. The embassy gave me 6th march to come back. Please is there any hope that I can get the visa earlier than the embassy date? Because am on the verge of losing the admission of I arrive too late.

email your faculty secretary, they will sort it out. you won't lose your admission

Point number 4: "GEJ has an unstable career".

Op, how do you define "unstable career"?

someone that rose from a deputy governor to president in his political career, is he having an unstable career?

Please give us good tangible facts, we are not illiterates. ....

ayukdaboss:
If those allegations are false, then you're either deliberately deceiving yourself or just being plain ignorant. Read these two excerpts again:





I feel some animals in the bush have more leadership qualities than this Jonathan man.

what is wrong with the finance minister presenting the budget?
I have seen finance ministers from other countries (e.g pravi gordan) present their budget to the parliament

Punkinmusty:
i agree with u but d methods he has adopted is commendable because it has kept those parties hell bent on riggin off balance not knwin wat to expect at d polls.either way our voice shuld b heard

Naaa, the card reader can be hacked too... Apparently the PVC has a chip inside, and with politicians buying it, are they not planning to hack into the technology of the PVC and the card reader.

whether this card reader works or not should have been proven since last year. There are loopholes everywhere.

Burger01:
Senators should not look for ways to reject the card readers but rather look for ways to improve the usage. Some processes might take long, still if it takes 5 days for everyone to vote then we shall be using 5 frigging days. No wayowayo..

5days to vote? won't it encourage wayo? The card reader is a good idea, but whether it will work or not should have been tested and proven since last year or even 2013.

Baawaa:
GEJ is doing worst things than OBJ,that is why-----------
PDP Fall Apart!

Present the facts here

cut tarriffs? I thought tarriffs are implemented to encourage local production?

Later some people will be complaining about the economy.

luvmijeje:
This is now beyond APC.......... It's an assault on our constitution. Jonathan is ready to plunge us to war all for his selfish gains.

This is not the first time a scheduled election was postponed.

sodiqyinka:
And, I could remember vividly that it was postponed due to INEC's inability to deliver voting materials across the nation. My point is this; why bring up the issue of boko 'were' haram up now when they've been dealing with us since 2009 and elections was still held in 2011? Plausible and justifiable now than 2011? Yes?

Also remember that in 2011, north east wasn't as volatile as it is now.(I was serving in jigawa state 2011). Besides the end point of this current scenario is still the same as it was in 2011, which is get enough machinery ready for massive rigging.

sodiqyinka:
Yes, they did. But, it wasn't shifted exactly a week before it was scheduled to hold. No?

A week before or the day during the election, which is better/worse/bad?

sodiqyinka:
Its totally different from last time. This time table was made a year ago. This is corruption at its peak. Jonathan must go. PDP feels they always have their way. So disheartening.

what is different from the last time? wait, ACN supported it then!

tempest69:
GEJ is already a failure, am dumping PDP for APC. This is the height of incompetence, the first of its kind. Now I believe he is clueless, APC.............................

Really? elections was postponed in 2011 too, why didnt you dump PDP then?

In conclusion, I am not an apostle for recycling old politicians but I
am averse to people like Ayo Fayose pushing twisted and one-sided
history in our faces. I just want to show that all over the world senior citizens get elected and most of them see their tenure through.
In fact a few of them die in office. Only Tôn Đức Thắng of Vietnam died in office. You can research this fact. Ironically none of dead presidents on Fayose’s statics in the Punch was up to 70 as at the time of their death. This shows how confused this Ekiti governor is.
Please let us contribute to knowledge, the fact that some elements are
privileged to be in seat of power doesn’t mean we cannot engage intelligently. People like Ayo Fayose should be told that the white didn’t hide things in books for black people like us. Let the game continue, we will serve them while it is hot.

Great presidents? I disagree, some of them are dictators e.g biya of cameroun, museveni of uganda, tedoro of equatorial Guinea, alasenne of guinea, castro of cuba santos of angola. Robert mugabe is 90 years, and will be 96 when his current term ends why is he not on this list of 'great' presidents?
from this great list of yours, how many were elected through the ballot box

drealsheggs:
Good everyone, please does anyone know or have idea on how much it cost to be enrolled for a nurse assistant/nursing program in SA. and is it also possible for one to get a job doing so as to be able to finance and feed him or herself while doing the diploma program .

Yes, you can renew or extend the visa, but with the new laws, you are not allowed with a visitor's visA to apply for another category of Visa in SA
