Entrance to the Consulate is via a side door in wall directly opposite the Killarney Mall.
I got there at 7.30 for my 9.00am appointment. there were already queues there. Takes quite a while to get in as you are in the same queue as the ordinary visa four tourist and business visa's.
Next to the door is a window where you have to hand the person behind the counter your passport, appointment letter, visa photo and the FNB deposit slip for the $100 for the visa. I received a different number from the other people and was told to go to counter 7 when I entered and press the bell.
Then you go through security and they put all the docs etc thru the machine and you leave your cell phone with them. Then you are scanned as well with a hand held scanner.
I went to counter 7 the blind was down so I rang the bell and waited. After a while the blind went up and there was my case worker.
He asked me for appointment letter and FNB slip.
He went off somewh... read complete review

Wow I cant beleive this is finally over!
Ok here is my story:
I got to the Johannesburg Consulate at around 8am on the 20 September 2007.
I got inside and was called to the first window. I was asked for all of the doccuments that were required in the pack 3. The lady was very nice and helpfull. She made a pack for me and a seperate one for my daughter. She asked for my husbands divorce decree and I was not aware that I had to bring his, she said no worries and made a copy of the one in the doccuments that they received from the NVC.
I was asked to sit down.
About 15 mins later I was called up to another counter where my finger prints were taken.
I sat down again. About 40 mins later I was called up to the last counter for my interview. It was the same office that did my interview for my visitors visa last year. She swore me in. My little girl wanted to speak to her, she was nice and asked my daughter questions like:

We had our interview on Monday, August 13, 2007, and it went off without a hitch. To this point, all my dealings with the Johannesburg Consulate have been stellar. They are very serious and formal, however extremely nice and helpful when you have a question. We filed directly via the consulate as I (the American) moved to South Africa to be with and marry Darren. So, we have been to the Joburg consulate on many occasions for a variety of matters. As a matter of fact, the only negative thing I could say about the consulate is that their security force isn't the brightest and do not have the best grasp of the English language. You may only enter the embassy one at a time and on the day of our interview after I had gone in, one of the guards asked Darren if I was his wife. To wich Darren replied yes. The guard then asked if I was American. When Darren said yes, the Guard asked what was wrong with South African women. It is a good thing I wasn't standing there.

Interview was a smooth process, took about 5mins. The interviewer was very friendly. Was asked to detail how I met my fiance, when we met up, and a few other basic questions which were very simple to answer. Thought our photos in our application were very cute. I did bring a ton of extra information for incase I was asked to supply originals or any extra evidence, but it wasn't needed.
