So after a restless night's sleep (suprise surprise), I got up at the usual time to go to work - as my interview was only scheduled for 1pm.

I got to Sandton City at around 12:25pm to park my car and then I made a short walk across the street to the entrance of the Johannesburg Consulate. Upon arrival, I was a little disappointed to find that I wasn't the first person to arrive, but nontheless, 3rd spot was not a bad consolation prize:) At the queue I started making some small talk with a pleasant elderly couple from Cape Town, who were on a different Immigration Visa interview to mine (think it was called the EB-1). In total, there were probably only 5 groups of people that were scheduled for interviews today.

When the clock striked 1 o'clock, the security guards asked us to present our appointment letters, along with our passports. We then proceeded to go through the standard security check and were asked to switch off our cell phones and leave behind with security.

When we got inside the Consulate, we were told to sit in the same order as we had queued. The first people up was a family of 5 from the DR Congo. They seemed to have a hellova lot of paper work with them, but maybe it seemed that way to me because I was just a lone ranger.
To my pleasant surprise, I was called ahead of the elderly couple, who then wished me goodluck, as i was called up to window number 4, where I was greeted by a local male. He asked me for all my original documents and the copies thereof, which I provided. He then asked me if I have any proof of funds, which I presented in the form of my bank statements and Affidavit of Support (yes, I over did it, but I wasn't willing to take any chances haha). After taking my finger prints, I was told to go to the cashier to pay the mandatory $330.

Once I had made the payment, I went back to the waiting area and about 20 minutes later, my name was called to window number 7, where I was greeted by an American lady that did a good job of not smiling initially...

This is how the interview went;

CO: Do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Me: I do.

CO: When did you enter the DV lottery?
Me: Oct 2012

CO: When were you notified of your selection?
Me: In May 2013

CO: Have you ever been to the USA?
Me: Blah blah blah

CO: What do you do for a living?
Me: blah blah blah

CO: And before that?
Me: Blah blah blah

CO: Do you have any evidence to support yourself? Or have you already started looking for jobs?
Me: (There I go wipping out my ammunition lol) I've got my bank statement and an AOS.
CO: I see you're quite prepared, but I won't need your bank statements if you have an AOS with you.
Me: Yes ma'am

Co: Where do you plan on staying?
Me: In Boston

Co: It gets quite cold in Boston, FYI.
Me: So I've been told

Co: Do you want us to courier your package or are you willing to come pick it up personally?
Me: I live near by, so picking it up won't be an issue.

Co: (Presents me with a green form), please sign here where I have highlighted in pink.
Me: (as I sign and return it to her)There you go ma'am.

Co: We will call you when your immigration package is ready for collection.
Me: Thanks ma'am

Co: Oh and congratulations (finally a smile surfaces)
Me: Thank you very much (with the biggest grin of my life)

That was it good people. I was out of there in 85 minutes. I did feel that a lot of the questions asked, were just to while away time and that the decision was made well in advance of my interview (just my sense).

I know this was a very long message but I felt that I owe to myself and to the other people on this forum that have helped me along this journey, that I write out a detailed story of my interview experience. This was just my way of saying thank you.

To everyone that still has an interview to go to, all the best of luck and go in there with the documents that are needed, and everything else should be smooth sailing.

Hey guys..i have a question.. is it a must that one should provide his or her details pertaining to where he or she is currently working for example if one is currently working in a private company it is a must i present my papers that I've resigned or i'm still working or that's not a must. And if one is a government official like a teacher or policeman or soldier is it also a must that one shows his letter of resignation for you to be given your Visa..
If the applicant winner is working in a private company and husband is a government official...do they require that both should have resigned or will the resignation part only affect those that are in civil service (those that are working for the government)?
Congratulations Terminator and Aleki....you deserved it... ;)
 
this is great success God bless u mightily may he receive all the Glory for what he is doing no more fails in Jesus name.

Hi back benchers let's continue to have faith. I thought I got a high cn 97*** but have met someone with 110*** so I think my faith will be counted.
 
hello everyone... congrats for those who got their visas... i have a question, i've read where someone was asked to provide affidavit of support or bank statement, anyone knows why in US consulate they don't ask that... i don't know if i should get an affidavit of support or bank statement despite the fact that i am not currently employed... my interview is on 23 of july in nairobi...
 
Hi Bricepitt, I think the situation differs from person to person. In my situation, I was asked provide either or. I was quite surprised by that considering I work in a well know institution in SA and I have 2 degrees.
My view is that because the JNB Consulate is not busy, the Co had the luxury of asking me as many questions as she liked and she was merely checking if I am REALLY ready and PREPARED for the move to the USA. Perhaps she asked for proof of financial support because of my age (I'm 26 at the moment)? Who knows.

My best advise to you is that, go in there as prepared as possible because the Co's can ask anything. And eventhough you are younger than me and are not employed at the moment, your Co may not ask for proof of financial support.

Good luck.

My brother lives just outside Boston - it certainly is nice there, and yes it is a great city. But I would prefer to stock my garage with motorbikes and wave runners as toys rather than snow blowers!

No, in fact they specifically tell you NOT to make any life-changing plans, do not resign jobs, or sell homes, or even book tickets until you have your visa in hand.

I get the feeling JNB asks everyone for financial proof... everyone I know of who has interviewed there has been asked to show something.
 
God is in cotrol a week more to be 60 days, pls Lord help me, for dis aps to be resolved nw God in the name of u...
 
Hi mates according to previous years the VB showed current in sept. Does it mean that even those with high cn like 100*** need to be interview or they are not included. Please can some one help explain especially britsimon. Thanks

@SusieQQQ thanks for your reply. i have a friend who was the DV applicant winner and her husband was in the army. She passed the interview though her husband who serves in the army was told to clear, resign from the army first for him to receive his visa so that meant she got hers together with their kids visas first and he had to produce the documents to show he'd cleared to get his visa. He did so very quickly and he got his visa but afterwards. So that's why i was asking.
