Thanks! Its such a relief after all the stress. I actually received my passport with the visa inside about an hour ago from the courier, so now I can officially celebrate!
Wrt to the SA forums, I can read everything, but cannot register. Which is a shame, as I wanted to post questions etc and also be part of an online community of fellow South Africans in the US. Its quite a scary time lying ahead, as I will be going all alone.
At this point I'm not sure where I will be going yet- probably NY (I know cliche!, but I think there are more opportunities for me there). I first have to finish my studies here in Japan though (which would be in August, so I'll have to do a short LSD trip to activate my visa probably in May and probably to Hawaii as that is the closest US state to Japan).
