Aside from the difficulties you're having with the form, this gives us anons here some hope of getting you out of there! I know I'm not the only one keeping you and your situation in our prayers, Purkiss! 💕🙏🇺🇸
OK, I have come right... Thanks to @Kensethfan2 ... I didn't have to download, I filled it out online and it's been submitted..... Now we wait and see.... Thank you all for helping....👍🙏🏻👌
Ah, that's good news. Prayers for you to successfully escape from there. Where do you hope to relocate to?
Im not sure how it works yet, or where the US sends me if the application is successful....
Well, if you have any say in the matter, the State of Tennessee is a wonderful place to live. Best of luck to you, Purkiss.
👍🙏🏻

The eastern midwest, (if that makes sense 😄), is gorgeous, with its rolling hills and four beautiful seasons!
Do keep us apprised of how it goes and where you end up. It's a big country with a lot of great places to go. Depends on what you're looking for, but I guarantee we have it. From Alaska to Florida and everything in between!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Come to Texas! Friendly people with beaches, lakes, farmland, ranching and OPEN CARRY!
Pew-pews! The ONLY way to carry!!! LOL 😃😃😃😃
I like this Bit especially.... "OPEN CARRY!"...😆😎😎
Maybe some of the land Arkansas is taking from China would be right for you.
Good luck fren,you will have friends and help in any state you move to.
👍👌 I appreciate that....
Listen, Mississippi is ranked number 1 in several categories. Just to list a few we lead in,
Obesity----Illiteracy----highest taxes----lowest income----Rednecks per square mile---- I could go on and on but in Mississippi you should feel right at home! Kek
👍🤣
Nebraska has the darkest, loamiest soil.
Prayers up, friend.
Ty🙏🏻
And you will stay there until you get here.
TOP PRAYERS FOR YOU FRIEND
🙏🏻👍
Welcome to America!
Praying for you dear fren! 🙏🤍
TY 🙏🏻😎
Thank you...I really appreciate all the support from all of you here....🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hope and pray you get to move here!
I'm doing my best...👍😁🙏🏻
Move to NW Florida! We can hang out!
👍🙏🏻😁
Pensacola is great, just beware the UFOs when driving at night.
Hi Nana! Love Pensacola and travel to St. Augustine often. ✨💕
You are Catturd's neighbor!
Panama City. I want to meet Catturd! I want to hang out! 🤣🤣🤣
Me, too! What a Patriot AND animal RESCUER! ✨♥️
😍 St. Augustine.. for visits anyway.
Us, too...Castel San Marcos, the beauty, the food, the Bridge of Lions! ✨🩵
Finally hit the breaking point fren? I recall the idea of relocating being dismissed over and over.
What changed?
It was never dismissed for a start.... Secondly it's just an application.....🙄 I font want to leave but I have to weigh up all my options for the future.....wouldn't you ?
I was sceptical about the form but it seems to be referenced on the https://za.usembassy.gov/refugee-admissions-program-for-south-africans/ website so it could be OK.
It is intended to be completed on-line and not printed out, however.
Oh I see, ty I'll try from home after work....
You can do it on your phone purkiss80, had students submit their google forms work through their phones all during covid. Praying that you and yours get out of there.
Yes thank you, I just did... Now we wait....🫡😁🙏🏻
😁🙏
🙏🤍🙏
😎🙏🏻🙏🏻
Purkiss be singing "Coming to America"! kek
🤣🤣🤣 Not yet....
Oooh u/purkiss80!!!! I am so excited just at the THOUGHT of you becoming an American citizen!!!
Louisiana is "Sportsman's Paradise" and down south we have the best food ever! Also, a lot of farming here too and relatively mild winters if you aren't used to being in the snow! Actually, I've lived thru winters that were winter in name only lol. 🙈
👌👌👌🙏🏻
If not try to send it to a print shop. FedEx and UPS will print documents cheaply.
I was both pleased and excited to hear they are going to give refugee status to South Africans, as I'd commented to one of your posts, I'd get the heck out of there.
I'd be good if they took away farm land from China or came up with some farmland somehow and provide classes on farming in the USA.
People who assimilate well and have a real safety need to boot should be made room for.
However, I don't think giving them mega-farms. Let the immigrant farmers expand after acquiring US citizenship.
We don't have those luxuries 🤣🤣🤣
O I C, that's surprising to me... I thought SA was very modern, at least in some areas
We have the SA Post office but it's so defunct.....🤣😁
Yes, the US post office is headed that way, mostly junk mail you can't have stopped, and they are corrupt and lazy. At one time it was a career path for retired military as they got a free boost in score on the Civil Service test.
👍🤦♀️
Wishing you luck Purkiss! Hopefully it goes through smoothly and we get you over here where you'll be safe.
Ty 👍🙏🏻
Safer.. for now anyway.
Nice to see all the love here for u/purkiss80. Admittedly, anytime I hear any news about SA I think of him.
🙏🏻
Prayers you are able to get to the USA. May you find yourself with many choices to settle down. Whatever you do stay away from the solid blue states.
Here in NC we are still mostly a rural state. Housing is still reasonable in rural areas. Climate has semi tropics in the southeast coastal regions vs snow in the mountains.
In spite of the state going for Trump 3X We have a Dem Governor and almost all state offices but that will most likely change now the Republicans control the State Election Board. The Republican house and Senate passed a law to send control of State Board of Elections to the State Auditor (Republican) right after the 2024 election while they still had a super majority. Its now been implemented removing the head of the state Board of Elections whom Soros supported.
👍🙏🏻
Are you thinking of going to a warmer state?
I have no idea how it works....
What kind of land did you farm? We've got a whole lot of different climates, and now might be the time to look up areas that have climates and land that you are interested in.
Unfortunately, I'm not a farmer....that's why my application might not succeed...🙂😟😎
Oh, I shouldn't think so. I just thought if you were the land and climate would be a large concern. As it is, just pick out a place you'd like to be. City, country, Arctic, Tropics, and everything in between.
Normally i would say City but in the last 6 years I've begun to 'dislike' crowds/people 😆 Especially during Covid...Saw a lot of crazy people out there that I never noticed before...🤣Now I prefer to stay Indoors unless I'm working, so Countryside or even the Artic would do...🙂😉😎
Maybe the suburbs where an industry that you would like to work in would be good.
Seriously, a trip to Alaska in the is highly advised before considering an Arctic adventure.
Apologies, I Meant Alaska...😆🤦🏻♂️🙏🏻
It seems as if the refugee system will be for any South African who is in immediate danger. Luckily this does not include me (I hope):
https://youtu.be/jCb_4JYIrtA?si=7wV4jiTLd9lCHlGT
Yeah, that's why the application is just that.....an application....doesn't mean I'll fit the criteria....Being white is not enough....
Praying for you! 🙏 u/Farmerberry
Thank you.
I live in one of the "safest" areas of South Africa so all well so far.
That's a relief but please know that we are praying for you daily fren! 🙏🤍
👌🙏🏻
Options are always good!
Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to purpose.
Thank you
hope your application gets approved
Calif. not the best government, but when you can visit, “Tunnel View” of Yosemite national Park is one of the top spots to enjoy.

👌👍
If, for whatever reason, you are moved to Utah (High Desert vs the bread basket of America where anything grows). Hit me up. Many great farms & orchards still in the state, though they are getting purchased by developers others who refuse to farm it.
Granted, that is if you want to farm. If you want a tech career, Utah has ample opportunity :D
👌👍
I can open the form with no problem. How do I re-send it to you?
I'll send my email to you....tx
Hi , I can open the link which shows me the forms but I cannot print them to complete them...does that make sense ?
its an e-doc. Type your information and hit "SUBMIT". No download is necessary.
Just did...ty 👌🙏🏻
Right. Looks like an online form to me. Fill it out online, then click on "SUBMIT."
Done 👍🙏🏻
Now, get your bags packed. There are a whole lot of anons waiting for your first post from the good, ole US of A. 😉
😁😁😁🙏🏻
can you download the form? Just open it in google docs or dochub.
I did but it refuses to print...Crazy...don't know why ?
Already answered: you don't need to print. Google Docs will sort everything for you. If the form needs a signature, go to dochub as the final step.
and, I see you have managed to do it.
Congrats.
I can download the form in my Gmail but when I want to print, it comes up with the Print 'option' but as soon as I click print it does nothing....???
Go go Purkiss! I hope you get out my man, become a citizen of the US under Trump would be awesome!
I'm stuck in Australia and I don't trust my own government.
👍😎
Is this the one from the Nigerian Prince?
Seriously though anons...Never click on random google drive links. Unless you enjoy being the victim of scams/malware/identify theft etc.

No, this is from the Embassy... https://za.usembassy.gov/refugee-admissions-program-for-south-africans/
So thankful you are seeking to join us in the USA. I visited SA, Zimbabwe, and Botswana! By far my most memorable vacation ever. It is so sad to see what is happening in SA! I would steer clear of the New Madrid fault line which includes much of the Mississippi River Basin. I know because I live there! Prayers for you!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, But Nothing is definite yet...Have to see what the application brings...🙂😎
Figure out where you want to go in the States (the states are all very different from each other). I am a Canadian but we travel often to the USA and for what it is worth I would avoid any clearly "blue" states. Instead look at states that consistently voted Republican over (at least) the last 5 presidential elections. There are many to choose from. Then pick a location near a smaller city/town (suburban or rural nearby). I would avoid any of the large cities for the same reasons that you should avoid the blue states (there tends to be higher concentrations of progressives/leftists in the large cities (including mayors, city councilors, school boards, neighbors and shop-keepers even in a "red" state). You want no part of that! IMHO, country folk are the best. Do your research - it will be well worth it in the long run. There are people from every state on GA and I know that they would be able to give you a good, honest assessment of their state, town and situation.
May the Lord expedite your refugee application and grant you comfort and safety until you can get out of SA. God bless you.
Ty 🙏🏻
Praying for your application’s speedy processing & approval!
Ty🙏🏻
It's a google docs form, so most likely docx. You can fill it in on google docs can't you? That should allow you to write as much as you want, because te fields are expandable.
Otherwise, use dochub, which allows you to overwrite pdfs. Also that software (online) allows you to load a signature (the 'sign' function, and sign forms, so you never have to go and print it out. Just download the form, write on it, and load it up again.
I'm trying to do it on my phone, maybe I'll wait and do it from my PC later....thanks for the info
