Jon arrived at the consulate approximately 90 minutes prior to his appointment time, and passed through security without issue. He stayed at the nearby Protea Hotel Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton, and was able to leave his luggage with the concierge until after the interview.
After passing security, Jon was given a blue folder and a checklist and asked to place the documents listed into the folder. Even then, the CO did not review them all (see below).
CO met with Jon at a window setting, and was very straightforward and professional with his approach. Questions were only five in total:
*What is your fiancée's name
*Where does she live
*How did you two meet
*Have you ever met in person
*What are your wedding plans
Very simple and to the point. Other COs seemed a bit friendlier but the one Jon had was just all business. He spent much longer with other interviewees prior to Jon but for some reason, everything w... read complete review

Davyd arrived early for his 9:30 interview, and was called in early at 9:10. He stayed at the nearby Blackbrick hotel, which was lovely and very close to the Consulate.
The interview lasted less than 10 minutes and was very straight forward.
Questions were all standard - how and when did you meet?, when did you start speaking romantically?, what do you and your fiancé do for work?, have you met one another’s families?, how many times have you visited one another?, what do you love about your fiancé?, when you visited your fiancé in the US, where did you stay and did you do any paid work while there?, how, when, and where did you propose?, have you made wedding plans?, what do you plan to do for work once in the US? …
Then the evidence of relationship was briefly reviewed (dated photos, passport stamps, flights/hotel/uber receipts, messages, etc.) along with my I-134 financial support form and accompanying docs, and other required doc... read complete 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 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
