Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
I arrived at the consulate at around 12:20pm, my appointment was at 1pm. They don't let you in until your appointment, i really shouldn't have been that early.
I was called into a window to submit documents and take finger prints. She saw i did my medicals but couldn't find them, so she spent some time looking for them. The lady then asked me about the fees, i told her i had paid all the fees at NVC. Unfortunately i accidentally printed two copies of AOS and not IV, she asked me to email the confirmation, however about 30min later, she called me back and said, the CO can't interview me without paying the fees so i went running to Sandton City to try and find a place to get 1 page printed. The places i started at either had their printer broken or offline. I had no idea Postnet was just around the corner, eventually i found it - i got back to the consulate round 2:50pm. Sat for another 30min. Then i was called for the interview, she asked me how i met my husband and details of when we met & how often we have seen each other.. (I am glad she didn't make a big deal over me spending 6months on a visitor visa there).. She too then started looking for another document, she told me to sit down...she was like, "everything is okay, I'm just looking for something".. i am like, geez, who has been working on my file?
Anyways, she called me and told me the visa is approved and that she would revoke my current one, etc...
You would think the drama would end, but on my way home i got a call from the embassy saying, they couldn't read my fingerprints and need me to return first thing tomorrow morning to redo fingerprints.
