My appointment for K1 visa was scheduled for 1pm at the new Consulate in Sandton. Give yourself enough time to find parking in Sandton City and then to walk across the road to the Consulate.
I arrived at 12:30pm and was told they're on lunch unitl 1pm so had to wait outside.
On entering you go through a security check and you leave the envelope from your medical at the security desk.
The new Consulate is very cold and 'clinical' and is extremely noisy compared to the old building in Killarney.
Seating is limited and you are very close to the interview booths, so everyone around can hear what's being said.
The case worker & security staff were very friendly and the consular officer was very professional.
There was a lot of waiting time compared to the 15 min interview with the Consular Officer.
After going through all my supporting evidence, the following questions were asked by the officer:
How did you meet?
Where did you meet?
When did you meet?
When last were you in the US?
How long were you there for?
What does he do?
What do you do?
Do you intend working when in the US?
I was then given a green slip of paper with the date and time on (3 days later) and told to please call before I arrive to ensure "it's" arrived.
There was no mention of approval at all. Only once I read further down on the slip of paper did I see it said "to collect your immigration visa"
