I think you have misunderstood too!
He was refering to NDVO, if they should be calling him to make an appointment for interview but they never did.
Instead, He did MP enquiry and found out that he had received a interview and that they have 30days to prepare for interview
Tofan-ram,
Yes, They either call or email the Representive about interview. Its totally normal!
Is there a reason why you cannot attend for interview for your spouse ( If your case, then please tell us why?)
There has been alot of people rejected. With sponsors help by coming to interview, there chances go up because it shows the officer commitment. If you dont, the applicant will become nervous not know what they will ask. Its scary, try putting yourself in their shoe.
If you dont attend, the chances of failing the interview are high, so please do go. You been waiting for this moment for so long! Dont risk failing the interview
