We have our interview soon!!! Getting nervous, any suggestions while we wait?? Has anyone else recently gone through the south african consulate? Any words of advise would be a HUGE help. I dont know what we would do if he doesn't get his visa. We have photo-copied everything and have lots of documentation. I dont know what else to do. Just wait I guess!

Thanks to everyones posts so far, they have been a huge help in preparing.

Cheers

I don't have any experience with the South African consulate. However, I will be sending tons of well wishes your way.

I don't have any experience with the South African consulate either. But best wishes to you.

Nope, no expience with the SA consulate, but I have a good feeling that you will have something particularly special to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

Good Luck!

As a member of the November brigade, i can safely say this: the odds are in your favour. I know we may not have accurate statistics to show here in the SS-African section but i daresay there have been little or no rejections thus far.....so you have enough to hold onto and be optimistic.

Good luck on the interview! I'm sure you two will do well.

Thank you for your wishes.... I can hardly breath!!!!





I hope so...I will either be over the moon or crying in my turkey! At least I know that there will be lots of food to console me if things dont work out as we want. I don't know what to do with myself!!!





Thank you that is very comforting. I am an optimist to the core...but this whole process has shaken me a bit. It is all so stressful!!! I just want to know one way or another so I know what my next step is. Hopefully that next step involves a trip to the airport!!




Thanks...I am a wreck. I just hope my guy will survive this process. Immigration is such a mission!!!!

Hi! Good luck!

I remember Monica&Baruti just went through the South Africa consulate. Check the Foreign Embassy forum: that's where they have been posting.

I cannot even begin to imagine how you feel but sure I will know soon enough, I agree 100% with you about this immigration process. Just keep the faith that all is well! Wishing you both to get the outcome you so desire, good luck at the interview!!!!!!

Thank you! My husband flew to Johannesburg today to prepare for his interview tomorrow. I am waiting to hear form him so I know that he arrived ok. I am pulling my hair out!!! This is such an insane process. We are almost done with the hardest part though!

We passed the interview, my honey is going to be home for Christmas!!!!!!! I cant belive it, what a relief!

Yay!!!! I'm glad you're able to rest your nerves now, lol. Great news for the two of you!

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND!!!!! Have a happy reunion and happy holidays to you both!!!!

Thank you for everyones support!! I wish everyone else the best now, keep the faith!!!! What a journey this has been. I will let you know the details of the interview as soon as I talk to my guy. I have only gotten a few words from him over chat but he will be calling on Thanksgiving to give me the whole scoop so I will let you all know the rest of the story then. Thank you again and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Congratulations

Congrats to the both of you! What a wonderful holiday it will be for the both of you!

Congratz!

Congratulations ...and have a happy reunion....

congrats!!!

I had my interview in Johannesburg 2 weeks ago, and the whole thing took 5 minutes. The officer was really friendly and nice, and asked me, 'what does your husband do for a living?', 'what do you do for a living?' and 'how did you guys meet?' That's it!! Was really a piece of cake!

I just had my interview last Wed. Try to relax. I would go over the interview questions. The more prepared you are the better you feel. I wish you success!

Good Luck

Congratulations Wishing you both the best of Luck

Congratulations!
