I am USA citizen trying to marry in SA to a SA in August. I will only be there for 2 weeks, can he book the interview apt before I arrive. What happens during interview? Can we request to get married in HA after interview? Or must we coordinate an off site, just want the process to be less complicated although we prefer to get married off site. Please help, any advice how to do plan this.
