The overall experience at the Johannesburg, Sandton Consulate was positive: from the security guards to the interviewers.
They checked for letter of invitation for the appointment outside the security check point. leave all electronic goods includ. headphones in your car.
Walked into the door, took a seat (didnt need to get a number) and waited to be called. A South African lady called me to the window and asked for the forms and photographs which i passed through the hole (similar to a bank teller window).
She started to capture information on the computer while talking to me: how did we meet, when did we meet, did i meet his family? how was that? where did we get engaged etc.. (they dont like to use the telephone, so everyone gets to hear your conversation; equally. you also get to hear theirs..)
Then I had to hand over the evidence and it was a little difficult to fit the photo album through the hole in the window and went to pay f... read complete review

Arrived at the consulate and hour and a half early which was fine I was joiner by a few people not longer after. A few minutes before 1pm the security asked us to queue and get my passport and interview letter ready to enter into security check. All electronic devices will be left at security before entering the consulate.
The following was requested at the first window:
Passport,Passport photos,DS160,DS230(unsigned),DS156,DS156k,DS157,Unabridged birth certificate,police clearance,evidence to prove ongoing relationship. (I had a lever arch file full of photos,emails,skype,telephone print outs and whatsapp logs... All they looked at was skype messages and calls)
You will be asked to make a payment for a visa and return to the waiting area for your name to be called. about 20-30 minutes later and 1 Approved K1 Visa later it was my turn to be interviewed. I was asked the usual questions:
1. Where and how did I meet my now Fiance... read complete review

The interviewer was very nice and helpful. Met with 1st interviewer for about 5 minutes, then moved to 2nd interviewer for 5 minutes. Directed to pay visa fee, sign documents, take the oath, and then given a number to call and set up courier service via DHL as the DHL office is closed during the afternoon hours. All in all, a very good experience.

I went to the interview knowing I won’t come back with the visa. I had to take extra medical tests and the results will take few more weeks. I arrived at the embassy nice and early. We were told to wait outside until 1pm.
At 1pm, they let us in, one by one. I proceeded to the waiting area where I had to wait for my name to be called. Eventually, my name was called at window 3. The lady asked for my passport, my unabridged birth certificate then she asked for my visa photos. She looked at my photos, she looked at me, looked at my photos. She told me those are not visa photos, they are passport photos. I had to run to the mall across the road and have my visa photos taken.
I ran back and went straight to window 3. I gave her my photos and she carried on with the interview. She asked:
When and where did we meet?
How often do we see each other?
When was the last time we saw each other?
I gave her some additional in... read complete review
