| Embassy Review : |
We had our interview scheduled for 7:40 am on April 5th. Arriving at the consulate at 6:45 am, we joined the immigration line opposite the queue for regular visas, accompanied by approximately eight other applicants. Outside, individuals in orange vests offered a convenient phone storage service for a mere $R10, as phones were prohibited inside.
Before entry, we presented confirmation of our medical examination to one of the organizers. By 6:55 am, we were granted access to the consulate. Upon ascending to the upper level, we received a document organization guide. Subsequently, we submitted our documents and awaited our turn to be called.
When our name was called, we approached a window where our documents were thoroughly reviewed and verified. Following a brief ten-minute wait, we were summoned to another window for the interview. The interviewer conducted the session with utmost politeness, posing only four questions which concluded within a swift five minutes.
Regrettably, we had overlooked bringing my wife's old passport containing a previous US visa, essential for the cancellation required to issue a new one. Despite this oversight, our approval was granted, contingent upon submitting the old passport. Remarkably, we concluded our embassy visit by 8 am.
Overall, our experience was exceptionally positive. Accompanied by our five-month-old baby, we left our toddler under the care of a babysitter at home. Despite initial concerns about potential boredom or tantrums, the interview room pleasantly surprised us with a dedicated play area for children, ensuring a smooth experience for all.
The staff exhibited exemplary kindness and helpfulness throughout our visit. Reflecting on our experience, I recommend diligently bringing every possible document, regardless of its perceived relevance, as requirements may vary unexpectedly. |

*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.
