Interview Question

[mexicanada]

Good morning everyone,
I have been reading alot of different posts about "Interviews" but most of them are related to questions
that are asked when married couples live together. I am sponsoring my spouse via outland so we don't live together
although i do visit him frequently. We haven't been called for a interview as of yet but I read that Mexico has a higher rate to be called in at some point during this process because of "marriage fraud" . If and when the time comes we want to be prepared. Does anyone know what the VO may ask and what documentation we should
provide??

Thanks!

Could be something like this . . . (copy and paste from another post):

do you know why you are here?
when was the first contact with your wife?
how did you meet her?
who made the first contact?
what is your wife's name?
what do you call her? (I think this was because in all our emails he calls me val but my full name is valerie)
how old is your wife?
(they asked him my age, then tried to correct him, but he stood his ground and they said "yes but she will be that age in a few months", which is not really true, my birthday's not until the fall. i found that interesting)
when is her birthdate?
where does your wife work?
what does she do there?
she's lived in different countries, what has she done there?
do you know your wife's family members?
what contact have you had with them?
have you travelled together?
where did you travel together?
did you have a honeymoon?
your wife is divorced, right?
it hasn't been very long since you met each other, but you decided she would come and visit you very soon after you first met online (4 months). why so fast? how did that happen?
what happened when she visited the first time?
why were you so rushed to be married? how do you explain that?
your wife is older than you, can you explain that?
(this led into a bit more of a discussion about our age difference and whether we had discussed how it could affect us etc., it was the most nerve-racking part of the interview because it took on a more serious tone but my husband was strong and spoke from the heart with conviction and they accepted his response- this was clearly the biggest concern)
what do your family members do for work (brother, sister, parents)?
what do you do for work?
noticing our receipts for sending money back & forth:
does your wife send you money because you need it?
did you send her money for the same reason?
do you have family in canada?
are you still in contact with them?

Just a note, there is usually no "we" in the interview request. IF an interview is required in Mexico, it will be for your spouse only. You are free to also make the trip there to attend, but whether or not they decide to interview your spouse by himself, or let you interview together, is up to CIC. Others with more experience from Mexico will need to advise.

Thanks so much for the feedback!
I will make the trip to Mexico for moral support if my husband is called in.
They started processing his application mid January of this year. So far it is quiet. :-[
I wonder what they will ask for next????
