Before the Interview:
We ended up having to call the consulate and have them re-send Packet 3 by email. When my fiancé called, they claimed that they had sent it a couple weeks before but we never received it and checked both our spam and regular inbox several times a day. So it might be important to call the consulate if you still haven't received anything via email a couple of weeks after the NVC has sent the documentation to the consulate.
It is also important to send the 'Notification of Applicant Readiness' with the 'DS-230 Part 1' back to the Consulate after they send you Packet 3 in order for you to get a Visa Appointment Letter. My fiancé had called to ask which documents he was supposed to send and was instructed to only send the "DS-230 Part 1"; however, he ended up sending both, which was what was actually needed to obtain an interview date.
Also, the visa appointment letter stated that only unabridged/full birth certificates t... read complete review

My fiance just called me from Johannesburg to give me the play by play of his K1 interview this afternoon. Below is a synopsis of the day. I made this as detailed as possible, in case the information was of help to anyone else going through this process.
A few hours before the interview, he stopped by the doctor's office to pick up his medical report. He was given the packet for consulate, as well as a personal copy of DS-3025, Vaccination Documentation Worksheet. I do not know if they provide copies to everyone, as we had specifically requested to receive a copy for ourselves. [And while not directly related to a "consulate review", I must say the staff at the office of Dr. Hugh Boss, and the doctor himself, are warm, extremely helpful, and very accommodating. We had called in advance to find out what paperwork we needed to bring. They gave us a complete list, including form numbers, which we were able to download online and then fill out in advance to bring on his appo... read complete review

Very professional and responsive to applicant's needs. If all the paperwork is in order your experience at the embassy will be smooth

My experience at the consulate was a smooth one. The interviewer was friendly and professional and even though I was stressed and nervous, he made me feel calm. Got asked a couple of questions, and was told my visa was granted. Happy with the consulate and the result!

Interview Date for K-1 Visa.... We waited for the police clearance, was originally told it would take 6-8 weeks and it only took 2... Had to wait a few weeks over due to courier error. The day after we got the police clearance, the consulate made our interview date for 6 DAYS LATER! This created a time crunch, but we are happy to press forward so quickly. The medical appt was made for the next day, knowing it was a time crunch, they squeezed us in (Thank goodness!) Our main contact at consulate has been responsive and kept good communication. Very pleased with his work. This consulate seems efficient however lacks a bit on the technology side. Email communication has been inconsistent and poor in quality. Otherwise a GREAT experience so far... Will see how the ACTUAL interview goes. Fingers crossed we continue with a good experience.
