we had successful interview this morning and hope same for everyone else. i want to share my exp. with all of you and i will be glad, if it can help you

first thing, they open at 8:20 and car parking is in front of Australia embassy. we had trouble finding parking

i think they make list of questions according to your case and they did same in my case, so questions will be different for everyone. My interviewer was a Canadian man and he asked me if i need an interpreter for my first language. there was one hindi/punjabi interpreter also . they said it would be easier for you, if you give interview in Hindi and i said ok

. then VO started questioning from start of our relationship and i gave all answers in english, i didnt use interpreter at all. all questions were based on our relationship and our personal life so i dont think, if you need to prepare for that. you just need to know each other very well
they called me in at first and asked-
*when, where and how did you meet?
*when and where did you live together?
*development of your relationship after very first day?
*why didnt you get married to someone from India??, why to someone from Canada??
*personal life of sponsor, school, colleges, courses, work and all important dates such as, date of moving to Canada, date of leaving Canada and entering India.
*if she is pregnant or not, if not, why not ?
*detailed information about her parents
*engagement, marriage and reception, who attended and who didnt, if not why??
*about rituals in religious ceremony and number of guests
*wedding album
*future plans
*what kind of job, you are looking for?
*what side of bed, you sleep on
then they called my wife in and sent me out and asked her some questions from listed above, to match our answers and then called me in and said congratulations

i think its not a big deal to handle interviews for a real couple, they ask very simple questions about , you, your spouse and your lives, nothing more than that.
good luck to everyone having interviews
