Interview ?

[hambousha]

Guys
My friend that i asked about earlier waiting for more than 6 months for response git an email for an interview at the embassy!
From your experience why interviews are there?
How they might accept or reject during the interview?
If ok; would the embassy take the passport to put the visas or it is just a step and he should wait again?

Thanks a lot

"Interview - RPRF - PPR - COPR ....all within 90 minutes!!!

It was awesome guys, God was on my side. I couldnt believe it. The VO said they called me
1) for quality check, just a random candidate to see if their interview waiver system was a good idea
2) also for the issues highlighted on my notes, to give an opportunity to explain myself.

He was so patient and kind. He was convinced after a few questions and said..."It's obvious you're a legit candidate for PR, lets speed this process forward. I want you to leave here with everything sorted today"!

He then asked us to pay RPRF and hubby RAN out to nearest internet cafe to sort it out (they don't accept credit cards there at that office). Upon return, they stamped passport and issued COPR letter......it was like a dream.

Thank you so much everyone for your help and advice, much appreciated. Now for us to land."

Thank you for sharing. I got married after my first PPR and received an interview request for me and my husband days ago. The instructions told us to bring passports and two passport-size photos (50*70) respectively, so I suppose we'll get our COPR immedately after we pass the interview.
But my first medical expired back in Feb this year, and the instructions didn't ask me for a second one. So I'm wondering, will the COPR still be valid without a recent medical ?

I'd appreciate if you can share the questions VO had asked you and you spouse.

Your medical does not necessary need to be valid in order to obtain the COPR.

I did not have an interview, I simply provided information that can be found in the forum.
