My experience was terrible, everything was fine up untill the interview, this American woman behind the window doesn't even listen to what you have to say, and when you speak she interrupts you she does not look at any supporting evidence as to where you are going and what you will be doing, I felt as if nothing I said would satisfy her and just like that visa denied never mind the fact that I had to cover travel cost and accommodation cost to be there and pay the visa fee.Now thanks to that woman I have to do it all again somewhere else and pay for it allAGAIN!!!

My experience was great. The online application process is simple. The instructions are clear. The actual consulate is in the Delta building, which is actually a shopping centre on the ground floor. Found it a bit difficult to find the reception for the consulate. It's opposite Nando's. The consulate is on the 31st floor. You undergo a screening process by reception. They don't allow food or drink upstairs. So don't take anything but the required documentation. You can take your phone, car keys and watch up with you but you'll have to lock it in of the lockers on the 31st floor- they'll give you the key.
The actual process took twenty minutes in total. The staff are polite. Make sure you have all the required documents as this makes things really easy and quick and you will avoid having to trek all the way back to submit.
There is no parking in the actual building. I managed to find a parking lot just a few meters away near the department of Justice. Parking cost R12 only.response / report this review -

My experience was horrible.. you can expect a disrespectful woman behind the counter who won’t even try to listen to you or look at your evedence to state your visit she will talk over you and you will be denied before even given a chance to speak.. horrible service!!! Horrible!!!! And expect a parking ticket of a R100 because the parking meter doesn’t work not good at all!!

Be ready for the quick questioning designed to trip you up and give you a quick denial. They will go thru past travel history and period of stay, how long you intend to stay in the US (length should be related to the funds available to you), work (if not permanently employed there's a high possibility you'll be denied), family and their employment and residence, as well as travel partners and much more. Be calm and respond thoughtfully, one wrong thing and you are out. The woman interviewer called me in before the previous guy even had time to open his mouth after being denied a visa. It was the same case with me, once the word "denied" was out of her mouth she was calling the next person in behind me. For 160USD (which somehow converts to R2360??) it is a total joke.
Oh, and there are no toilets, no refreshments, and you have to go thru an insane waiting period outside and then again once at the embassy security. There is no regard for appointment times, so don't even bother being stressed about running late, they do not care either.
After getting your visa you still need to get thru immigration in the US, and they are even less friendly especially if you are returning for tourism after previously working in the US.response / report this review -

Today my mother in law and nephew were denied a visitor visa to be present for the birth of our first child after providing ample evidence that they were coming for a short stay because this consulate's staff is not professional enough to read. I am an service member and officer of the United States and they even cast doubt on my reputation. I will be taking it up with my elected representatives and the ambassador.
