Hi Moma....
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Oh yes I have had plenty of experience dealing with these people in Pretoria.
Once they have the notification from the hearing they will process your visa....didnt have to go through the appeal although they were quite fast at issuing i think in total 6 days.....i emailed them twice lol.....you should just relax now the hard work is over....but they dont seem to delay once they know they have to issue it.
Not sure how long it will take them to recieve notification of the appeal decision but hopefully not more than a couple of weeks then they will get on to it. Did you apply at the BHC Pretoria or is there one in Zim? When my hubby got his he had to go and pick it up from the BHC where he applied and Pretoria sent it back to there
