Hi Everyone,
My wife had an interview yesterday and it went well. My wife submitted the new medical and PCC at the end of the interview. They didn't ask for the passport. Overall, the interview went well. Visa Officer said everything looks good and mostly positive. Now waiting for Passport Request.
The Visa Officer called me here in Canada during the interview. In fact, my wife was sitting in front of him when I was answering his questions. Just an advise, don't get too nervous. Try to learn things about the sponsor's everyday life and his family. They looked the smaller wedding album my wife had. She took two big ones and one small one but the officer only wanted to see one. We hired a interpreter, it really helps. Even if it doesn't I think its good to have in case there is a need. No phones or wires or cables are allowed in the embassy. You have to go through security so don't keep any proofs on your phone because its not allowed. Go through all the sample questions you can find on the internet.
If you sent an extra package or updated information after submitting the application, then make sure you know what was included in that package to keep the story line straight.
I would have difficulty level of the interview was "medium". Just be simple and spend as much time as you can on preparation for the interview and it will all pay off in the end. There is not harm in over preparing but be careful not to blindly memorize. Listen to the questions carefully, if the question is unclear, ask them to repeat it but please do not answer without fully understanding the question. Remember that is why the interpreter is there.
I believe this is long enough for everyone to read.....hope this information helps. This forum and the whatsapp group has really been a great help in getting information regarding this whole process. Please continue to share your experiences and remember, others are going through the same pain as well. Share generously and especially after your process completes. Don't be cheap....God bless everyone with speedy visas.

-Marriege dates and a few details regarding sponsor's visit.
