Hi Everyone,
my husband's interview is next week. if you guys can suggest any tips those who have been through it that'll be really helpful.
few minor things i wanted to ask:
do they let you take your phone inside?
if sponsor is not present, what kind of common questions can they ask?
typically what's the avg time it takes for the interview to be over?
do they give back all the proofs?
do they usually take the passport there? (along with medical and pcc)
any help is appreciated thank you!!!!
1) Your phones are not allowed inside, I left mine in the car.
2) If the sponsor is not present, they will most likely just ask you questions about them and their family and their work and salary etc to see if it seems genuine, if any doubt they may call your spouse on the spot to confirm or cross question.
3) I believe interviews can last upto 1.5 hours if needed max. However I have heard interviews can last 30 mins to 45 mins on avg.
4) Till now I do not think there has been a case where they accepted their passports on the spot unless somebody can correct me. However, 95% of times they will accept your medicals and pccs on the spot. Make sure to get your remeds and pcc done you will save minimum a months time by doing this.
5) They will give you back all your proof that you submitted with the application.
6) Be careful of what you say during interview as they write it down and can go against you, like if you make a comment or anything. So only talk positive and be firm.
7) They will most likely ask you " What will you do if we refuse your application?" your answer to that should be we will appeal! (This shows that you will go furthur to prove them wrong meaning your file is genuine)
ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR INTERVIEW!
