I need feedback of any K-1 applicants who are NOT South African Nationals. There is K-1 interview scheduled to be next month for an applicant residing in another African country due to his employment. He is NOT from South Africa. We are having trouble 1. finding information about bringing a Spanish interpreter for the interview 2. A document review appointment needed 2 weeks prior to the interview. The issue is the applicant may not be able to attend that document review appointment and we fear his interview may get cancelled. I have emailed both JohannesburgIV@state.gov and SouthAfrica.Visas@gdit-gss.com. Still waiting on responses, but time is ticking. Also calling the consulate only resulted in pointing us back to their website... Any insight will be immensely appreciated.

what country/embassy will the interview take place?

What is the native language of that country?

and if working there,  he probably speaks the language, right?

Interview is taking place at the U.S. Consulate General Johannesburg, South Africa. His native language is Spanish and does not feel comfortable having interview in English as it is not his first language. Apart from this were you required to attend a document review appointment before the K-1 interview?? I am very confused about that requisite I read on the DOS website today. ugh, so stressful!

The questions are really very simple, and answers should be simple and succinct too. If he can speak and understand basic English, then there should be no issue. 

 

Document reviews are required to ensure all docs needed are available before interview. If anything is missing, they tell you then. If you don't attend the doc review, they will refuse your interview and you will need to reschedule both doc review and interview.

 

Why can't he make the doc review?

He needs to attend the interviews, Spanish is not an obvious language for a SA interview.
