I had my consulate interview on 30th June 2008. People were right....South Africa have an excellent consulate to work through. Everybody from the security, case worker and consular interviewer were professional, friendly, helpful, understanding and very efficient.
I arrived around 0800 for my interview at 0900....my deposit slip, application form and photos were checked prior to letting me into the consulate.
Make sure your pictures are the right size...
I was thoroughly searched at the security point, but everybody is friendly and professional.
At 0900 my caseworker called me and checked all our documents that had to be completed and asked a few questions like where I met my husband, how long we've known each other, where he works and such.....nothing too serious. He also paged through our wedding album. Then he told my daughter and I that we can take break and should be back by 1300 for our next interview with a consular... read complete review

Dijani had her interview on Thursday May 29th, 2008. She said that everything went nice and smooth and she was approved no problem.
Her interview was scheduled for 9:00am. She arrived at about 7-7:30am and stood in line. Right before she went in, a woman from the embassy came out and looked at some of her papers. She was informed that her passport pictures were n ot the correct size. This did not make any sense since all the paper she had just said "passport size photos" which was what she had. But either way she ran across the street to the mall and got new photos in the "correct" size. this was the only problem she had.
She went back to emassy and got right in side. She was called up to the window after waiting for a little while. She was met by her case worker who asked for her forms. He looked at the name and said, "This won't be any big deal. i know who you are. Ever since your papers arrived, your fiancee has been emailing me almost everyday with... read complete review

Everyone at the Consulate from the cleaning staff, security and consular officers were friendly and professional. I see why people say this is one of the best embassies to go through. If your request is legitimate and sincere, you will have no problem. I arrived at 08h20 for my 09h00 interview. The consular officer took all my civil documents at 09h30. At 11h15 I had my interview which lasted no more than 12 minutes (if that long), I was approved and forwarded to the DHL counter for delivery. The consular officer asked a few questions but other than my civil documents, they asked for nothing else (no phone records, emails, proof, etc.). The questions related to how we met and time spent together. I was fully prepared with a load of evidence but it was not requested
All in all, a painless experience. I received my visa on 22 May which was expedited for delivery as I leave on Sunday 25 May. Very efficient overall.

All went as planned.
A few interesting questions but nothing out of the ordinary.
If you're request is sincere, and you have all your stuff in order, there shouldn't be too much of a problem

Eben arrived at the consulate at 7:20 for his 9am appointment. There were a lot of people in line so they only let the people with 8am appointments in. He got in at about 8:30. Seems to me that for a 9am appointment there is no reason to get there too early. He rang the bell at window 7 and told them he was there for his interview with Vishan. Vishan called him up and asked him for all of the paperwork and took his fingerprints. Since they were so busy Vishan told him that rather than sitting around waiting he should go over to the mall across the street and have some lunch and come back around 2pm. When he went back he had his interview. They asked how we met and how our relationship progressed and Eben showed them pictures of us together since we originally applied. She said that everything was in order and congratulations. All they still had to do was check his medical and fingerprints. They gave him a slip to give to the DHL desk in the embassy so that they could arrange the return... read complete review
