Davyd arrived early for his 9:30 interview, and was called in early at 9:10. He stayed at the nearby Blackbrick hotel, which was lovely and very close to the Consulate.
The interview lasted less than 10 minutes and was very straight forward.
Questions were all standard - how and when did you meet?, when did you start speaking romantically?, what do you and your fiancé do for work?, have you met one another’s families?, how many times have you visited one another?, what do you love about your fiancé?, when you visited your fiancé in the US, where did you stay and did you do any paid work while there?, how, when, and where did you propose?, have you made wedding plans?, what do you plan to do for work once in the US? …
Then the evidence of relationship was briefly reviewed (dated photos, passport stamps, flights/hotel/uber receipts, messages, etc.) along with my I-134 financial support form and accompanying docs, and other required documents.
The interviewer then advised that once the visa was issued it should not take longer than 2 weeks to be delivered by DHL (although the timelines with DHL so far have been extremely quick). He also placed a “cancellation” stamp on Davyd’s B2 Visitor’s Visa, because he said you cannot have two different types of active visas at once.
The only outstanding thing was the review of Davyd’s medical results, which were shown as “delivered” by DHL tracking back on June 20, but had not yet confirmed as received by the Consulate. The interviewer said they probably are just “in the back” and that they should be reviewed and the administrative processing completed soon. Dr. Brauer in Cape Town indicated to Davyd that the results were all good with no issues, so fingers crossed the review process happens in the next day or so! Our case is showing “refused” on CEAC, but indicates that it will remain refused until administrative processing is completed. I have read everywhere that “refused” for admin processing does not mean denied, but just means it is pending issuance while any outstanding docs are reviewed.
