You and your wife will face the CO together, most of the questions will be directed at her. You will just be standing beside her like an observer

LOLOLOL @Sm1smom !!! Yes biltong is seriously ADDICTIVE. It's different to jerky in that jerky is smoked and ours is cured first (same as Palma ham and salami!) and then dried, usually with either heat light bulbs or fans or both. If you eat cold cuts like salami then you have no reason to be squeamish of biltong.
Give it a try. It's divine.

Principal applicant is the main interviewee but (assuming your wife is Canadian and/or French is her other language) interviews are (almost) always offered in the official language of the country you are interviewing in as well as English.

"Thousands"? Lol, hardly. If you're talking zim$, maybe! Cheaper than jerky. And no it's not rotten, the point of it is that it's preserved
And I'm no great biltong fan (sacrilege! I don't watch rugby either!) but it's still 1000x better than jerky."Thousands"? Lol, hardly. If you're talking zim$, maybe! Cheaper than jerky. And no it's not rotten, the point of it is that it's preserved

I received around 2kg Bilton two months ago,from my in-laws, it was baie lekker
@sussieQQQ @Britsimon I GOT a question, my wife is going to visit her parents in September, she is going though Heathrow, does she need a visa if maybe she wants to visit London, cause her connecting flight will take 8h?

Well, I'm neither Susie nor Simon, but I think I know the answer to your question
The need for a visa to visit the UK completely depends on your wife's citizenship/the passport she's traveling on. The GC has no bearing on the determination for the need for a UK visa or not. If your wife needed a visa to enter the UK prior to getting her U.S. GC, then she still needs the visa now. The GC only allows for passing through without the need to for a transit visa.

Hmmm - I didn't realize that my original request would turn out to be so culinary

To be honest - 8 hours isn't very long.
Heathrow is a big airport - and getting through the airport to get to the trains after picking up bags etc would take about 1 to 2 hours if you don't know where you are going. Then you get on a train. There is an express, but I can see the journey in to London taking an hour. So then she pops up in London - has 2 to 3 hours max and must rush back to the airport for the connecting flight. This is after a red eye flight. Yuk.
Better yet to arrange access to the arrivals lounge, take a shower and a quick nap....

If she's SA, she doesn't need a visa for transit if she has her green card, but she will need one if she wants to pass through border control.

Ha! Have done a London day in transit a couple of times - you don't need to collect luggage as it will be checked through. So the main issue is the queue at immigration, once through that the heathrow express is pricey but quick...
