Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
I had my K1 visa interview at the JHB consulate and had a pretty good experience. The wait was quite long even thought there weren't many people, but I figure this is because the officers were being very thorough and really analyzing the relevant documentation. I was asked for:
birth certificates, PCCs (originals only), I-134 and petitioners tax return, proof of relationship.
Here's the one thing: They only accepted cash! I had to run across the road to Sandton City and draw about R4000 to pay for the application!
I returned, paid the cashier, and sat in line to wait a little longer. I was eventually called up to speak to a lovely woman who asked meow I met my fiancé, how often we'd visited one another, what I plan to do in the US, if any of my side of the family will be with us at the ceremony in the U.S. That was it, she said "everything is OK, you should have your passport back in 7-10 days." I almost fell over, I was so shocked!
That was it!
All in all, but went very smoothly, just remember to bring cash with - just in case! Running to the mall isn't so bad but I could have done without the extra adrenaline!
