The interview at the US Consulate in Johannesburg was fairly painless. My wife's interview was at 1 pm. After getting past the security checkpoint, she waited for her name to be called and was asked to submit 2 passport size photos (even though they were originally submitted to the NVC), my latest tax return (this was submitted to the NVC, I guess the lady at the Consulate was just going through a checklist!) and proofs of our relationship. My wife submitted photos, snapshots with comments from facebook, passport stamps showing our travels together and select mails that I had sent her. She was asked the following questions by the South African lady at the first window and then again by the interviewing officer:
a) How did we meet?
b) Is it the first marriage for both of us?
c) How often did we visit each other before and since our marriage?
d) What does the petitioner do in the US?
and
e) When does my wife plan to leave for the US?
After that, the officer gave my wife all the original certificates and a green slip asking her to collect her visa the next day from the Consulate.
Fairly routine. Guess we would not have wanted it any other way. Good luck to everyone going through the process!
