Hi there vj filers.
I had my interview October 11th @1:30 pm .the whole interview lasted only 2minutes if that long. CO asked me only 1 question: "can you tell me a little bit on how you met"? I responded briefly then my husband started talking to the CO about our life journey(not every little thing though) and the next thing CO asked me if I would like my passport back so I travel back to Namibia. I told him I will need it and he said he will make sure I would get it back next day. And that was it.! My husband and I left the embassy with so much joy.
The next day I got my passport with visa and packet .
Johannesburg U.S. consulate is the best! Very kind and helpful employees.

Got to sandton and walked about 110min to embassy.
Got there just past 12. Waited outside until 1pm.
We went inside they keep your phone at security.
Went to sit until they called my number.
First Window she asked me my police clearance unabridged and passport. Asked for proof of relationship. Asked me to go pay around the corner .
Did that and was called to another window for fingerprints.

I had a pleasant experience at the consulate today (19 April 2016)
My interview was scheduled for 1pm. I arrived in Sandton nice and early, grabbed something small to eat and then headed to the consulate around 12, there was one person ahead of me. Security outside said that we will go in at 1pm, I thought that was a bit strange as my interview was scheduled for 1pm, thinking I would have to be there prior to get through security etc. I waited for an hour, there are benches in the shade, however the steadily grew so it is recommended to arrive earlier but not too earlier as some people were being chased away for arriving too early for interviews later in the day. I went through security, had to leave my phone in a locker, and any flash drives etc.. Once I got in I got a ticket number and had to sit and wait. I was second in line, I waited max 5 minutes before being called to a window. A very friendly South African lady assisted me. She took all my required documents and... read complete review

I was scheduled to come at 1pm & when I arrived I found that there was a group of K1 visa applicants all scheduled at the same time. Basically a line forms outside then you go in and get a number and just wait for your number to be called.
The facility was well staffed and run. I was called to 3 different windows. First to finger print etc, then the second window to confirm some details and then a third time to the actual interview.
The entire process probably only took an hour and a half or so.

My fiancé sent in the petition in January 2015, and on 8 March 2016 I finally had my interview. We arrived at 12, saw that there was nobody there, went into Sandton City for about 30 minutes and when we got back to the embassy there was about 12 people lined up. (They turned out the be groups, so I ended up being fifth in line). I also read somewhere that they don't allow queueing before 12:30, so in that case, just hang around and then run up to the benches when it's time haha.
My sister accompanied me, and I asked if she will be allowed inside and they said yes. We got into the security room and there they had a bit of an issue with her being there, but let her through. Once inside, I received a number and was told to sit and wait. After about 15 minutes a lady came up to us and told my sister that she needed to leave. I thought that was really weird and unnecessary, but oh well.
Finally my number was called and I was asked to hand in my police clearan... read complete review
