The whole process was simple and efficient! The consular team at the embassy in Johannesburg were attentive and patient. The hubby and I are so excited for this new adventure together!

Was a little nervous due to the magnitude of the event.
Got to Consulate early around 12.15pm - interview at 1pm (good idea as there was already 10 people in the queue and you can end up standing in the sun otherwise), they started letting us in one by one just before 1pm.
Wasn't extremely busy as it's mostly immigrant interviews. They called us up randomly, (not queue order nor alphabetical).
At first call up, I spoke to a South African lady and they scan your finger prints and I gave in 2x US passport photos, my passort and additional (recent) proof of marriage (some A4 pages of printed photos), she asked if this was my first marriage and if my husband was the petitioner. The you go sit and wait again.
Second call up (the "interview"), I spoke to an American lady and she asks you to make an oath that you are telling the truth. She asked me a few more basic questions, how we met, when did we first meet, have I met his famil... read complete review

Medical Exam Review.
I was more nervous for the medical than I think I am for the interview. The previous review on the medical was extremely helpful, but I have a few differences/additional info that I thought I'd mention, seen as I nearly had an aneurism thinking about doing this medical.
The only doctor in Johannesburg since Jan 2014 is Dr Hoosen. You cannot use Dr Cobbs as previously stated.
Yes, you obtain the x-rays and blood work the day before (don't forget to take your passport, two US sized colour passport photos and your original immunization card - if applicable with, when you collect the x-ray and pathology forms from the doctor) your actual medical exam (apparently they get the blood-work results back within a day - they have some sort of arrangement) and definitely go for the x-ray first, as you can get the blood work done while they process the x-ray. They said the x-ray would take 30min to process, but it only took 10min. D... read complete review

My experience with the medical exam in Johannesburg.
I hope this will help someone - would have saved me some trouble and worries if I knew everything before my exam.
The medical exam has to be at least 2 weeks prior to the interview, they told me this was due to the blood test results taking that long. I did not realise this and thought I could have the medical and the interview in the same week. I live in the Western Cape and this meant two trips to Johannesburg. Luckily I called to book the medical appointment early enough.
They will make two appointments on consecutive days, at the doctor's office at suite 108 Sandton City Medical Mews. (Up the stairs across from Standard bank in the banking mall) Its a cosmetic "clinic", last door down the hall on the right. What they didn't tell me was that the first day, I just had to collect the x-ray and bloodwork forms from this office, and then go to Morningside Medi Clinic for the actual x-ray an... read complete review
