Thanks Zee, I haven't gotten the interview date yet, but I was promised by my caseworker that whatever happens, he will get me a February Interview. I will try to PM amper or mishka as you have suggested. I will PM you too whenever I get that date for the interview so that you can add it in the Keep Tracking ...

JoBurg has a lot of BB's so just do a search on the internet you will find something. Downtown JoBurg looks like any metropolitan area and the accomodations there are wonderful. If you pick a hotel near the airport you will get great accomodations at a descent price.The shopping Malls in South Africa are some iof the best in the world. Enjoy.

Best shopping in the world? Well, sis, I think I'd like to come and lend my support to your sweetie on his interview. I'm sure the more USCs he has on his side the better it will look to the Embassy. JUST DON'T TELL BASSI!

I know that you contacted me via PM, but when I try to respond, it says that you are not receiving messages via the board. Thank you very much for your message. I am looking forward to hearing about your experience at Johannesburg Consulate on February 14. My fiance's interview is February 19, so that will be a great help to know how yours was handled. He already had his interview, and it took a week to get the blood work back from the doctor, so I'm glad to hear that your doctor has promised it sooner.

Hope all goes well!

There is a time for everything....all in God's time.

I will let you know whenever I get done with my interview. I asked the doctor's receptionist two times about the time frame of blood work to be ready for the interview. She insisted that yes it is OK. She even told me that there is one person who did her medicals on Monday and everything was ready for her following Wednesday interview. I will see how that will work.
