my wife received her VISA. The woman who interviewed her asked a total of 5 questions: what is you mothers/fathers name? What is your phone number? Have you ever been married? Has your husband ever been married? "Looks like everthing is in order, come back at three o'clock for your VISA." This was after a four hour wait in the waiting area. Arrived at 7am called at 11am. Went to lunch and then picked up the VISA at 3 pm.
Three of the five ladies did not receive their VISA because: one gals birht certificate had an error on it. One gals husband did not give her his copies of his income tax papers and the third had no Affidavit of Support. My wife and a young gal in her 20's had everthing in order. I dont think the Embassy officials were being jerks, I think the papers they requested are procedurally required.
I do thank all the guys who offered advise and help along the way. The info found here is up to date and valuable for anyone seeking a relationship in SA, (mainly Cali hehe).
hasta guys...
