Interview at South Africa embassy took only 45 minutes and was very easy. Everyone was great. The interview was on a Tuesday afternoon at 1PM and I was the only person being processed the entire afternoon. Tuesday afternoons may be a good time to try to schedule your interview in SA. I picked up my visa the next morning.

*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.
