Consulate Review: South Africa Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 22, 2024 Embassy Review : Immigration visa review Johannesburg Consulate Republic of South Africa On the 22nd of February 2024. I arrived early and parked at Sandton City parking. Walked over to the consulate. Initially there was a hiccup as me and another person's info wasn't on the paper so they had to check and then let us thru. Once inside the consulate I entered the building and was directed to a seat close to window 1. I was instructed to transfer all my documents to a blue folder and wait to he called. Another person went before me and then it was my turn. Upon which we checked all of my documents and took finger prints and then I got directed to another seat to wait for my interview. I waited awhile as there was already a few people before me. My turn came and the interviewer was very straight forward and to the point. Questions that was asked When did you first meet your fiance How did you meet When did you both leave the country you met in How old is your fiance What is her name When was she born What do you like most about your fiance Where does she stay What type of accommodation does she stay in Does your fiance own or rent Have you been married before Do you have any kids Has your fiance been married before Does your fiance have any kids Where does your fiance work When do you plan to go to the USA Have you lived outside of South Africa for longer than 6 months What work do you do How long have you been working there I got asked a whole bunch of questions which made me more relaxed talking about my relationship Then whole interview only lasted for about 10 to 15 min 20min max but I spend about 2 hours at the American Embassy. Rating : 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
