Well that's what the booking website TECHNICALLY says, but sheesh if the status of your case says "ready" I would have honestly just gone ahead and booked anyway if dates were available (but that's just me, I'm super impulsive) . 

 

But yes, January and February dates have been snatched up. It happened within minutes after they appeared. 

I got a date for 7 Feb on the day the dates were made available, it was the last date available at that time. It really seems to be first come first serve so make sure you check the website 2 times a day if you don't see dates available.

When were the Feb dates made available?   It seems like from what I have been reading a difference in the IR1/2 process is they give you a date, you dont select a date - not sure if that is correct or not....

Does anyone know if the consulate in Cape Town conducts the K1 Visa interviews also or is it strictly through Johannesburg?

Only done through Johannesburg. I used to think the same thing but now that I'm at the interview step, I see you can only do the interview through Johannesburg.

I thought so but wanted to make sure. My fiancée will be upset to hear that as she lives in Cape Town. Thank you!

No worries, the booking site has a print and email option once you click "continue" on the "Attend Appointment" page
