Hi. I applied to renew my TRP last year within the correct deadlines. The TRP was approved and I have proof of that. It was then dispatched from Pretoria to Polokwane where I originally applied. However, Polokwane is still claiming they have not received it and therefore will not issue my permit. I'm being forced to leave my job as a consequence of this. As well, I'm concerned about what will happen if come July 2015 when the permit on the computer expires! I'm being told by HA that in July 2015 if I've yet to receive my permit I will have to voluntarily leave the country as they will not allow me to apply to renew a permit I've not been issued! On top of this, I've been informed if at that time I try to leave I will be fined an overstay (although I have an approved permit) since it is not in my passport and I will not be allowed re-entry for two years! I have a husband and two children who were born in this country! Leaving is not an option! I can't just abandon my family! I've requested to Pretoria to either let me re-apply again or have them re-issue the documentation for my approved permit, both of which requests they have denied! Does anybody have any advice as to what I must do? How can they make me leave and fine me when I'm within my legal stay here?
