    I lived in South Africa for many years and did DCF with my husband who is South African. When we went to his interview in Johannesburg there was someone there who had a translator. The translator was someone that came with them to the interview. This is to say it is allowed but you will need to bring someone.

    I imagine it might be a little different for adoption but I dont know. I actually might contact an immigration lawyer. I have done DCF and I did an international adoption a few years ago so I know it gets messy. I would just double check that this can be done.

    Are you trying to bring your children your adopted to the United States? Have you legally adopted your children? The DCF is not a route for adopted children. You would need to complete an adoption- file a petition wait. Complete everything with USCIS for the adoption.

    Agree with other posters you cant compare your times to other countries. In general South Africa moves faster than other African countries. But do you have everything ready to go? Police clearance? Birth Certificate? As those items can take a while in South Africa and a lot of people will use an outside company to help speed the process to obtain these items.

    I would try and get in contact with the embassy in Monrovia in Liberia. Or try Johannesburg South Africa. I know they are not close but I would still reach out.

    Yes you would need to use an adoption agency- there are a couple in the US that work in Nigeria. It is a long process.

    What issues are you experiencing ?

    It's not really run by Americans. When we were there years ago there were many different Nationalities working there. I have been to several Embassies throughout Africa and it's run very well. Very organized. The Embassy is run very different than Home Affairs. We did DCF so cant really advise on K-1 too much. Just a side note- It's also mostly called Jo'burg or Jozi. Ive never heard it called or spelled Jo-berg. The timelines are really hard to go by. The Embassy will let you know when they are ready for you.
