Review Topic: General Review

Medical:

I called Dr. Hoosen for and appointment and was told that they now do the exam over 2 days, but NOT 2 consecutive days. The second day is 3 days after the first to allow them to view the x-ray and blood results.

I then call Dr. Brauer & Dr. N Sayed in Cape Town and they do it in one day, the exam, x-rays and blood work done on the day, and when they receive the results of the tests they courier the package to the Consulate.

My interview appointment is 21 February 2017 - I'm trying to get my medical done ASAP and request to be placed on a standby list in the even of a cancellation.

Review Topic: EB-3 Visa

I appreciated the information in all the reviews, especially the ones describing the medical exams.

My document package was sent to the NVC on 18 October 2016, and the lawyers say that the wait for an interview notice in about 6 weeks from then.

My wife will be joining me.
We are in Port Elizabeth so would need to fly to JNB for the two day medical and then for the interview again.
For the medical, I was planning on a early flight getting me to JNB at 8:00, rent a car and then head off to Dr. Hoons practice for the X-ray and bloodwork paperwork, look for a reasonable price hotel, and the take a flight back to PE at 16:50.

Can someone advise the expected time line from sending the document package to the NVC, to getting an interview appointment date.

Thanks all.

Hi there vj filers.
I had my interview October 11th @1:30 pm .the whole interview lasted only 2minutes if that long. CO asked me only 1 question: "can you tell me a little bit on how you met"? I responded briefly then my husband started talking to the CO about our life journey(not every little thing though) and the next thing CO asked me if I would like my passport back so I travel back to Namibia. I told him I will need it and he said he will make sure I would get it back next day. And that was it.! My husband and I left the embassy with so much joy.
The next day I got my passport with visa and packet .
Johannesburg U.S. consulate is the best! Very kind and helpful employees.

First Window she asked me my police clearance unabridged and passport. Asked for proof of relationship. Asked me to go pay around the corner .
