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.

When did you first meet your fiance
How did you meet
When did you both leave the co... read complete review

My interview was booked for 8am at the Johannesburg consulate, my fiancé and I arrived at the consulate around 7:15am. We parked at Sandton City and from there it’s a short walk to the consulate. The security let us in at around 7:30am. We then needed to hand in our phones and were directed to the interview area.
First all of the requested documents were checked, this included:
-My passport
-2 US passport colour photos
-DS-160
-Unabridged Birth Certificate (and a copy)
-Police Clearance Certificate
-Affidavit of Support
-My fiancé’s latest tax returns
-Proof of relationship (it specified photos+texts/call history)
-Medicals (my medicals were sent directly to the consulate)
After my documents were checked, I was then directed to another queue to await my interview. The interview itself was very straightforward and the consular personnel interviewing me was polite and seemed quite... read complete review

I had my K1 visa medical with Dr. Brauer (chest scan done at the Gardens Mediclinic) in Cape Town, good experience. My communications with them were very clear and they were forthcoming with information, which I always appreciate. My appointment was a couple of weeks before my interview, they recommended 10 working days between the medical and interview to process the results and courier the package.
I flew up to Johannesburg for my K1 visa interview, but before this I had corresponded extensively with the Consulate and they were extremely fast to respond to my mails within business hours (respond time<1 hour). I was at the Consultate for just under 2 hours because after passing through security and the scanner, my passport information was recorded and I was given a sheet of paper to fill in while the first person/officer asked me to organize all my requested documents. She confirmed my package of documents and I went to the queue (~10 people) to wait for my name to be called. O... read complete review

In Capetown, there there was a mishap with my fiancés medical exam and that threw off the interview process. My fiancés name was not on the list the day he was scheduled for an appointment and we think it was because of the mishap with the medical exam. It all got sorted none the less and my fiancé left his passport the same day of the interview with the officer and received his passport 15 days later. Wish they could be more organized at Capetown to avoid this errors.
