Jon arrived at the consulate approximately 90 minutes prior to his appointment time, and passed through security without issue. He stayed at the nearby Protea Hotel Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton, and was able to leave his luggage with the concierge until after the interview.
After passing security, Jon was given a blue folder and a checklist and asked to place the documents listed into the folder. Even then, the CO did not review them all (see below).
CO met with Jon at a window setting, and was very straightforward and professional with his approach. Questions were only five in total:
*What is your fiancée's name
*Where does she live
*How did you two meet
*Have you ever met in person
*What are your wedding plans
Very simple and to the point. Other COs seemed a bit friendlier but the one Jon had was just all business. He spent much longer with other interviewees prior to Jon but for some reason, everything was in order and the interview Jon had was considerably shorter than the ones he witnessed.
Documents reviewed were Heather's tax transcript and the DS-160 receipt, and little else.
Passport and original birth certificate were collected along with the passport photos. Jon was told he would receive everything back in the mail within 3-4 weeks.
Jon left the consulate with everything completed, before the scheduled appointment time. He was in and out in just over an hour.
