| Embassy Review : |
This is the 2nd time I've had an interview at the Johannesburg consulate branch, the first being for a tourist visa in 2019. Here's what you can expect:
â–ª Long wait times outside the consulate - Always arrive much earlier than your interview because it works on a "first come, first served" basis. Generally, all the people in line with you also have their booking slot set to the same time. The time slot is not an indication of when your interview will take place, but rather when a batch of people will be let into the consulate.
â–ª No laptops are allowed and cannot be stored at check-in.
â–ª Bring a copy of your passport, along with all the other documents.
â–ª You will check in all electronic devices, including smartwatches, upon entry and will only get it back once your interview has been completed. Plan accordingly.
â–ª If you carry a bag/handbag with you, bring a smaller one on the day of your interview. You'll carry it with you the rest of the way (minus your electronics) so it's easier to have something small that you can carry over your arm or shoulder.
Overall I've had great experiences every time. They're very efficient once inside the consulate and are very helpful in case you are not sure what to do or where to go. Your interview will likely take place behind a counter (think similar to a bank teller), so plan accordingly as you must be able to get to all your documents swiftly and easily. |

Timeline Comments: 1wow! Congrats on such a quick adjustment! Hope all is well in your 1st year in the US!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
