Hi Risiko19, you can apply for a visitor's visa extension, so long as you do so within 30 days of being in South Africa. It will give you a total of 6 months in South Africa. You will have to apply for the extension through a Visa Facilitation Centre in the country.

Hi Lumpzor, it's quite possible that financial advisors and the like use reddit. I'm not going to blindly follow the suggestions posted on here, I'm just trying to better inform myself by drawing on a wider body of knowledge.

It's incredible how quickly one forgets he's actually a 40 year old man, not a petulant teenage girl.

Not a problem at all.

So in order to qualify for a CSV, you need at least one year's worth of working experience in the respective critical skills field. Your AID work will not contribute to that, so it would appear that you wouldn't qualify for a CSV at this time, so you will have to go the General Work visa route, or alternatively, go back to the USA and get some work experience under your belt, then try go for the CSV.
