What purpose does VFS serve, or who?

<p>Good day</p> <p> </p> <p>I am waiting for feedback of my 3rd appeal. 11 months later still no word from VFS.</p> <p> </p> <p>When done with my Degree, I app**** for a Partner Visa that allows me to work in the country. After having submitted all the documentation, I received my first rejection from the DHA stating that my application is rejected due to missing documents. How could this be I asked myself when I personally printed the check list from the VFS website, and personally submitted all my documents, not even making use of an intermediary. Or was this the problem in the first place? The fact that I prepared and submitted all my documents myself and did not make another 3rd party rich in the process?</p> <p> </p> <p>Why must we as global citizens now pay 5 to 7 times for the same process / procedure and / or service?</p> <p>Well, this was not the end. I paid another R1350 to VFS, submitted all the same documents I submitted the first time, and the vfs consultant took them in and said there is nothing outstanding, I am good to go.</p> <p> </p> <p>Late January, I received another rejection for outstanding documents. This is just unacceptable. Must I pay more then R10 000 to have my Visa renewed, and apply for a work permit / visa? if this is the case, why can VFS not be clear and state this at the beginning of any application to foreigners? Why reject applications when VFS is mandated to make sure nothing is outstanding?</p> <p> </p> <p>Am I entitled to write to the South African Public Prosecutor and request an investigation into the VFS Department?</p> <p> </p> <p>Can anyone help to advise how one can have their applications speeded up please? </p> <p>I'm now without work, because due to all the rejections, the employment offer expired, because businesses does not want to hire us due to our papers not being released or approved by this VFS / DHA processing dillema.</p> <p> </p> <p>regards,</p> <p>Hopeless</p>
