Hi everybody.
I studied for my undergraduate electrical and electronics engineering degree in South Africa and am now completing my masters' in the same field. I am still on a study permit which is valid until the end of this year. Last week I proposed to my South African girlfriend and she said yes(thankfully!) and we would like to get married in April this year. I am not sure as to how best to go about getting a work permit, given that on one hand I stand a chance of getting one under an exceptional/quota permit and yet I have been told of section 11(6). What is my best bet? Thank you all in advance
Which permit to apply for
