It's hilarious really. Yes he did some resistance excersises too. I think the bloodworks and xrays were the big ones that they cash in. Luckily I did not need any injections.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers Thursday the 27th. 

 

 

Sending positive vibes and praying for you! That Thursday we will hear good news!

Hi everyone in South Africa!  My fiancé and I are almost done in our process, she lives in South Africa and I live in the Seattle Washington area.  It took us 5 months to get our NOA2, so be prepared

You will be fine. Just make sure you keep your hands sanitized. There is a bug doing rounds. 

I will be in Sandton from Wednesday.  Thank you for the sweet words of encouragement.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to join in on this thread and say hello. My I-29F was received April 13th, so am still in the waiting game to get my NAO2.

 

Do have a question. My husband is Mozambican and I am American. He speaks and understands English, but not strongly. Will this be a problem for the interview? We have no option but to go to South Africa as they don't process K1's in Mozambique. 

Welcome!

I would suggest smart casual. It's an important interview, need to show them you care. I wore flats because I knew I would be nervous, smart pants and a smart jacket with a nice top underneath. Nothing to formal but not to casual either. 

 

You will be fine! Just take a few breaths before and always be honest. All the best! You got this :)

Thank you girl. I am super excited and nervous the same time. I hope that it will go quick and end as a success.
