Lol yes. I picked that due to my medical being scheduled to 9th and 12 of July, the medical people always give you a date that is available, you can't chose! and they are stubborn and wont change it to June for me. In the meantime i will get busy with other stuffs. Goodluck to everyone :)

No way!!! So you have to schedule the medical first before booking a damn interview. Crazy??? Isn't the medical to be suppose to accommodate you with the interview? Weird stuff but thank you for the heads up. They say you have to do the medical a week prior your interview. Just hope we get a accommodating date

As at yesterday when i scheduled, i saw June 28th available there...  There seem not be a lot of people applying for K visas here in South Africa that is why they only do the interviews every last Thursdays of every month. I was told if i do the medical now that is the date that will be on my visa that it was issued and also AOS so i will just do both next month lol

Well my medical for crew visa were R4 000 ;  7 years back. Guess R5 400 not bad for 2018. Fees didn't go up that much. Think they remind the applicant regularly because they take cash or swipe. Don't worry too much about it. You will see it will go well.
