My interview was scheduled at 10am on Tuesday, February 13, 2007. It was difficult to get an appointment set up, and I called them many times to get a date set up. There was a long line to get into the consulate so I would advise getting there at least an hour early.
I waited for over an hour while other people were interviewed. Later, the consular official announced that if there were any other people there for immigrant interviews, they should report to her window. I jumped up and went to the window and she said that she had been looking for me everywhere. I felt bad because I had been waiting there all the time.
The questions at my interview were simple to answer, mostly about the wedding preparations and ceremony and how I met my husband. I was interviewed by two different officials.
The heart-sinking moment came when the consular official said that because I had added my second name back in on my passport, the USCIS in the US would h... read complete review

Hi VJ friends! The interview done in Joburg south africa went just fine, but i must say how important the role of VJ was in preparing for the questions asked and the fact that it put me into contact with another k1-south-african applicant who gave me invaluable tips like bring 60 rand to the embassy to pay for the courier service, if i didnt meet her i would not have brought enough money! I expected the interview to be quicker and grilled less, but i think it was because there were so few people at the embassy so she had time to do so. She asked how i felt about being a step mom, how i felt about my fiance being married before, what brand of beer he drinks, what his apartment looks like, where are the windows, is there a t.v, how many bedrooms, how did we meet, how do i feel about the age difference, how old is he, how old are his sons, how long did i live with him, why did i come to usa previously, does he still live where he lived when i stayed with him last, how did i find a job in ... read complete review

Quite easy and short. I had all of our proof of relationship papers/photos etc and they did not ask for any of it, really just a few simple questions about when we got married and where and that was it, besides the required paper work ie birth cert, police clearance etc.
Lots of stress for no reason in the end, however I am quite sure if I did not bring it they would have asked for it, Murphys Law

Johannesburg Consulate
Pre-Interview:
No contact made by consulate. We initiated contact 3 weeks after NOA2, as we had not yet received packet #3. We received the name of our case manager over the phone, but each time we called to inquire, we were sent to a different case worker. In all we had four different case workers, very confusing. We physically picked up packet #3 five weeks after NOA2. Our original packet #3 arrived by South African Fast Mail, 7 weeks after NOA2. We received our interview date via phone (initiated by us) 3 days after we faxed the checklist & DS-230. Interview date was set for 3 weeks later.
Interview:
Our interview was at 10 am. Luckily we arrived one hour early, as there was a queue that took 54 minutes to get through just to get into the embassy. Interview letter was needed, and me and my fiance both received different tickets with numbers on them. The directions on the ticket advised us to enter through security, and th... read complete review

This was a great embassy to go through. We got an interview 10 days after faxing the checklist. South Africa police reports take some time, so start that early. We had a case worker assigned to our case and could call/email her dirctly with any questions. The visa was issued on the same day.
