We arrived to the Consulate around 12:15, our appointment was at 1:30. The consulate is directly across the street from Sandton City (a big shopping center), he told us we could either go across and hangout and come back right at 1:30 or we could sit on the benches and wait. There were 2 families in front of us. We waited and the time came for us to line up for the specific type of visa. We got into the line for K visas and waited as they came by to check our my fiance's name off of a list. The woman who came by asked me if I was going to go in with him and I said "can I?!?" and she kind of laughed and said "yes, you can!". We waited in line right up until 1:30 or so but once it came time for us to go through the door to security, we were told no laptops were allowed inside, so the security guy let me run across the street to Sandton City where Dopio Zero keeps laptops specifically for people who can't bring them into the consulate. I thought that was pretty cool. By the time I got bac... read complete review

My fiancé had her interview today and we were approved!! Advice to all:
1. They book more than one couple for the time slots, so ensure you get there early to stand in line, at the head of this line for your applicable time slot. Her interview was at 1pm, but there were 20 people with the same, but because she got there an hour before, she was at the front of that 1pm line of people. So get there early.
2. She had all her packages squared away; we had 3 folders: Folder 1 contained all required documents for your interview that was listed in your Packet 3 letter/email received from the consulate; folder 2 all the evidence of our relationship since our first package submission and folder 3 was our original package, just in case.
3. Consulate complimented her on how well her package was put together and that is what they like to see and don't very often, they liked that
4. She was asked 3 questions; where we met, when was the first trip to see me and ... read complete review

We went to the consulate in Johannesburg 15 minutes before our appointment at 1:00 but were only called inside after 1:30-1:45. There was a really nice man who checked us in and allowed me to be with my fiance the whole time. We waited till about 3:00 when the preingerview documents were collected. My partner went up to the window to give everything but had a question and asked the lady in the window if she could ask me (her partner) something. She allowed me to stay with her the rest of the time. The. A few minutes later she was called up for the interview. The guy reviewing her case in the window was cold and asked how we met, she said, and the basked "and then?" so.she continued then he asked when did we get engaged and she messed up with the wrong year (she said 2016 instead of 2017) so he asked her again. Then said she was approved. I went up to her when she gave me a thumbs up and embraced her - looked at the window and thanked the guy. He smiled and we left happy. Just waiting t... read complete review

Appointment was 13:30 got there at 13:00. Lady came by took rocal. 15 minutes later I went inside. I was given a number, and took a seat. 40 minutes later I was called to do biometrics. The lady took my originals and I asked her if she wanted my file of proof o relationship. She said if they need it they will ask for it. I was told to go sit. An hour later I get called to the counter. Before I was called 2 other people's visas got declined. They argued with the lady and when I got there she was annoyed. When I approached she said to give her a minute as she was typing away on her keyboard. She then says we will start with taking an oath. I say that's fine and I wait... and wait ... and wait ... eventually she looks up and someone starts talking to her. She rolls her eyes and responds then says to me they are having system problems. I say it's fine and wait ... she looks up and asks me to raise my right hand. Then I take the oath. She returns my original documents. Asks: - how did you ... read complete review
