Consulate Review: South Africa Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 24, 2015 Embassy Review : Super easy interview, was asked just the basic questions that one sees here on VJ. One thing, I arrived for my 1pm interview at 11am, was told by security that you are not allowed to wait there, but have to wait at the mall or anywhere else but not at the consulate. Only allowed to start queueing up at 12:30. So if you get there early, dont waste your time by trying to wait there. 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
