Firstly, I would like to say that although it was quite a nerve-wrecking experience, the overall interview and the collection of documents at the consulate was a breeze. Here are a few tips that I think you will find useful for the day of your interview;
* Do not try and park your car directly in front of the consulate- or even stop your car to be dropped off- security will ask you to leave and move your car. It is also on a seriously busy road so it won't be a good idea to pull over there anyway. I parked at Sandton City Mall parking lot, which is right across the street from the main entrance of the consulate. The parking was R20.00.
* When you get to the consulate early, you will not be allowed inside of the building. Security will ask you to remain outside on the sidewalk. An official will then come out and ask all the people waiting to form lines based on whether they are citizens or not. The official will then check your name on an iPad to make sur... read complete review

Aww yes!

But I can give a quick brief right now while I'm in the car,
It was very straightforward, the lady who called us first asked for all the required documents (one by one so picking them out of the file wasn't difficult)
And took fingerprints, wanted the affidavit financials all completely out of envelopes and files and then asked if there is anything else I would like to give her to help my case (I said no)
Then went back sat down for 60 seconds, then they called our ticket at a different window to commence with the interview.
Lady said to lift right hand up and said "do you agree that everything you say here will be the truth and nothing else"
I said yes.
SO then she asked if either of us have ever been married, how... read complete review

Wow, got my approval and i will say, it was the most awesome experience ever. (after the interview)
So my interview was on October the 18th 2018 at 1:30pm.
i arrived at the embassy at 11am, wanted to make sure i was first in the line and also to get my Nerves in check. ( nothing to stress about im just a nervous person when it comes to interviews of any kind)
eventually at about 1pm an official come out and started asking peoples last names and what they where there for and checking them in on his iPad.
i was first in line, and got asked to enter at about 1:10pm. I walked into the security block handed over my cell phone got searched then walked out and into the main building.
As i entered, the guy from outside checking of names asked for my passport and my case number.
he wrote it down and put it into my passport and told me that i was number 1 for the day and informed me i could go and sit down and wait to be called.... read complete review

My interview was at 1pm, I got there at around 12:30 was third in line.
My documentation was checked off a list and then was told to sit down.
The lady was amazing and it was more like a conversation than interview.
Questions that were asked
When and how did you meet your fiancé?
Have you been married before?
Has he been married?
When last did you see him?
How many times has he visited?
What is your intended us address
And then she said I was approved but they cant issue the visit until my medical is received. The consulate hasn’t received the medical from the doctor yet so it’s a thumbs up but have to wait until they issue my visa😊
Overall, it was an awesome experience. I’m so glad the hard part is now over.
