How exactly does the medical work? Does the consulate send you somewhere specific? Or do you have to book something in advance with your family physician?

We are close to out estimated NOA2 date and I just want to know if there is anything we could be doing in advance so as not to be held up waiting on something like a Dr. appointment.

Thank you for your help! ~K

As far as I know, the consulate sends you to specific doctors that are somehow "authorized" to perform medicals for K-1 or other types of visas.

So when the time comes, you should expect a letter guiding you where to go and how to book the exams.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Your I-129f was approved in 85 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 225 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

Have a look at this information, http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=South%20Africa&cty=Johannesburg

You could take care of the vaccinations with your family doctor.

Hi!

There are basically 2 options for your medical- there is a doctor in Capetown and one in Johannesburg. I went to the guy in Jozi a week before the interview. He asked lots of questions, asked for my vaccination history, then sent me for chest Xrays and for blood work. After that i went to another doctor in the same building and got the vaccinations i needed.I had the medical done on a thursday and i collected the results on tuesday and had my interview on the wednesday.

I wouldnt get any vaccinations in advance as you dont know exactly what you will need and they will determine what you need at the visit. Provided you had all your childhood shots chances are you will maybe only need boosters for those- I had the MMR and the Tdap, Also note they want a 'current as possible' medical so try book it about a week to 10 days prior to your interview. Dont forget to take your photos with for the medical.

Shout if you need to know anything extra.
