Hello Everyone, How is everyone doing today....Sorry that i have not posted anything on the forum for a long time but i still read everyone post though...to let everyone know that i had my interview yesterday morning at 10am.... here is how my interview went....
I got the the embassy around 9:20am and when i went inside there was no one in the embassy waiting for anything. the embassy was very scanty like nobody was there working. i was saying to myself look like the strike is really having an impact on the kingston embassy for sure... i did not even sit down for a good min. they call my name telling me to go to room number 4 which i did... the immigration officer was a woman in her 50s with long black hair with gray hair also.. she ask me for the things they required and i gave her everything..she started to go tru everything and which she is going tru them she ask me question about them. here are a few question she ask me.
who are these ppl in the pictures
what is my wife mother name
what do her kids them do
why no one from her family attend our wedding
have my wife cook her native food for me
what do i know about my wife culture
what do i know about my wife that other ppl dont
what kind of work do my wife do and where she work
have me and my wife every get into any aurguement and how we resolve it
they have a few more questions that i forgot...
i was not nervous at all when i was at the interview.....i answer all the questions that i could answers but a couple of them i could so i just told her i did not know. some of the question i answered the immigration officer told me that she did not believe me but i still answered it as i was there telling her the truth...im not going to say that the immigration officer was rude or anything but she did give me a bit of a hard time though.....i spend about 1hr in the interview. when the interview finish she told me that she will have to review over everything again because she is saying that my wife is putting out all the effort to know me and im not pushing out any effort at all. so she gave me back my passport but she kept my birth certificate, marriage certificate, police record, and medical records....she did not give me a time that she would get back in touch with me.. so i just have to wait for the outcome of the interview..i know im myself that i did good but they can think differently. the immigration officer look like she was mix with native american indian also...
Hi Maddants (& Mrs. M. too), thanks for posting this on our POS thread and sharing your interview experience. I am sure you are both so relieved to have it over and done with. It does seem strange and sooooo..... aggravating to me as well, that when our spouses get denied TRVs and cannot visit us, that an IO would think you are not putting out any effort. HUH????
I wonder if it is worth sending any follow up correspondence to them to summarize all of the efforts you
have made to refute her misinformed perspective. The nature of this whole process puts
all sponsors in the position of making more effort as we are the ones who have to do the traveling, when and if we can afford it. Besides, in any couple on the face of the earth at various times in any relationship the efforts go back and forth and we never know 100% of everything about anyone. I am way more detail oriented than my husband but that does not mean our relationship is not genuine. I can never remember the names of all of his siblings (large family

) and he does not remember all of the finer details of my work but that does not mean we do not love each other.
Maddants I really commend you for your confidence and cool under pressure when the IO actually told you that she did not believe some of your answers. You truly demonstrated an amazing peace of the Holy Spirit my brother as I am feeling mad on your behalf even just reading this

. You mentioned that the IO did not give you a timeline for an answer. Did you ask her directly and she refused to answer or did she just not offer that info.?
Interesting that the IO asked for birth and marriage certificates, were they not in your original application? I still think that overall it is good that she said she is reviewing everything though. I have read before that sometimes they just like to play "the bad cop" at the interview to test the applicant's reactions (which I still think is rude and cruel) however you sound like you sailed through it. So prayers are coming your way for a PPR soon and then COPR and then.....LANDING STORY! Then best of all.....no more immigration ;D. Blessings.
