Consulate Review: South Africa Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 16, 2024 Embassy Review : My interview was booked for 8am at the Johannesburg consulate, my fiancé and I arrived at the consulate around 7:15am. We parked at Sandton City and from there it’s a short walk to the consulate. The security let us in at around 7:30am. We then needed to hand in our phones and were directed to the interview area. First all of the requested documents were checked, this included: -My passport -2 US passport colour photos -DS-160 -Unabridged Birth Certificate (and a copy) -Police Clearance Certificate -Affidavit of Support -My fiancé’s latest tax returns -Proof of relationship (it specified photos+texts/call history) -Medicals (my medicals were sent directly to the consulate) After my documents were checked, I was then directed to another queue to await my interview. The interview itself was very straightforward and the consular personnel interviewing me was polite and seemed quite friendly. She asked the following questions; -What’s your full name? -What’s your fiancé’s full name? -How did you meet? -When was the last time you saw him? -What is his occupation? -Where does he live? She then asked for any document with his proof of residence on it and then went through our proof of relationship folder. She then said everything is perfectly in order and that she’d issue the visa by the afternoon, The interview itself was the easiest step in the process. As long as you carry along all the required documents, you’ll be completely fine! Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
