US Immigration from South Africa

Hey all:

I sent the Johannesburg consulate an email today, after waiting ten weeks "at NVC"; South Africa has a notorious reputation for its government agencies taking forever to process forms. I understand that the consulate is run by Americans, but I have my misgivings about how things are going in Jo-Berg. I kept it simple: status inquiry, any word on backlogs for K1 visa interview times or needed extensions beyond the four month window on the I-797. Case number, petitioner name, beneficiary name, our emails.

Been doing the DHL hack and saw something move to Jo-Berg at the end of April; nothing for this week, sadly. Which is what prompted me to poke the consulate. GENTLY.

Anyone work with Johannesberg who can give advice on communicating with them? Can poking go too far? I want to avoid any setbacks to the process if our case is blackmarked for us being nags lol! I did search similar timelines but nobody using Jo-Berg for K1s who got their NOA2s in this calendar year have reported an interview date. The last one was December 2023* (with the interview in March, but I digress).

Even if it's been a few years, I'd love to hear from folks who have successfully navigated Johannesburg.

I just filed for my n400, Who can be sure of the wait time line.. What is the amount of time to wait for the interview and what are the interview questions. Any help will go a long way. Thank you guys...

Just to be clear, I only need to verify my income for the 134, right? Is it fine if the sponsor puts N/A for all assets, in the case of a K-1?

Hey guys I m new here,so my fianc had a k1 visa before about 8 years ago,he and his ex fianc that petitioned him never got married and he left the United States before the 90 days was up.

my question now is will we get denied seeing that he has a old k1 visa in his passport?im really stressing because I cannot find any forums regarding this and I will be filling the application soon

Hi all-

For the question Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S. law? on the DS160, is it advised you put it as Yes, even if you haven't yet attended the medical appointment to review vax records and get the required ones?
