Finally.
Got through to my contact at the South Africa Medical Board. After almost 2 months of trying to figure out the delay in getting my medical license, only 2 things are missing. One is a document that was emailed back in the fall. The other is a fee for the license.
One last hurdle-applying for the visit... And that should be done in April.
Woah... This crazy idea that started almost 8 months ago is really going to happen.
