seems crasy becasue i am expecting visa to be refused for the other destination ( i guess Turkey ) too.

My Wife applied under the NOC-2174. We received the acknowledgment in September.
Now we received an email for interview call two days back.The interview is scheduled on 26th March in Abu Dhabi.

Currently I am OUT OF Pakistan for work and will return in May IA. My wife also has to travel to the USA to visit her uncle who's sick (has cancer). She will be there till April.
We plan to ask for the change in venue (to Washington) or change in interview date. Has anyone had this similar issue? and got a change of date? Is it advisable?? :-\

well as far as i know it is not advisable to change date n venue because then ur case will be put on hold for next available date. FYI lvo conducts interview twice a yr once in march n other in sept and only in uae and london. A special team visits uae twice a yr and a group of almost 300 apps are conducted interviews. so if u plan not to give interview this time then expect that ur next date will be in sept. btw may i know wht is ur wife's job title. im female from pakistan and also 2174. i havnt recieved interview call yet but if i do it will be nice if we can share knowledge. thannks.

Ok Guys, Finally my day also came. Though I was very scared till my last step in New Delhi Visa Office. But I really got good support from RatingCrady..

Interview time: 8:30, reached there at 08:00. Had to wait outside embassy..

I went inside at 08:45 and waited in reception area till my name was called.

And then at 09:15 my name was called. I went inside the room with my spouse, lady was sitting across the glass and she told that she will meet my spouse afterwards. I closed the door and sat in front of her.
She was already going through my file and asked me about my company. Though she was trying to be very frank and wanted to make me comfortable enough to talk to her. She asked very little stuff. Then she moved on to my job profile, I told approx 5-6 lines, she said how many people reporting to you, I answered. Hardly 5 min were asked to me regarding my Job Profile. Rest she was telling about her experience as I am in automotive sector. She also asked me 1 point from my original reference letter. I explained her. She also had a look on my salary slips(current). - Good thing: she did not cross questioned on my job profile, she did not ask about my previous companies..

But there was 1 problem, I wrongly answered 1 question, she confirmed me 2 times for which she was very sure about that but I was firm on my point knowingly I am wrong. She said OK with a weird face.

Further she started asking about my wedding things, spouse, had a look at my marriage photographs. Approx 5 min.

Then she started asking about my relative in Canada and who all staying with me in India. - 1-2min

And finally she herself asked me if I had PCC, I gave her.

And told me that you will be informed by mail in a week or so for the next procedure..

I asked her again if she requires any more documents to have a check, she said NO.

I asked if she would like to meet my wife: again NO.
I said thanks and moved out of the room.

In totality my interview lasted for 20 min at max. And after coming out of the room I was not having any idea that why I was called for interview as it was very smooth and did not last long. May be it is random call. I don’t know.

That’s my experience. If it helps..

I think that main reasons for calling the interviews are as under;-

1)- CIC/CIO/VO has doubt about candidates
2)- Experience certificate doesn't match with NOC
3)- Random selection of candidates for QA/QC improvement purpose by VO.

Has anyone been for interview in the London Visa Office lately? I have just been asked to come of an interview before my FSW application could be processed further. Has anybody been to an interview lately? what kind of question should one expect? I am been asked to bring Payslips and bank statements of work I did over 10 years ago, which I can't provide. Any information and advise will be highly appreciated

Hi, there's an excellent summary of a typical interview session by pankhilsingh at this link, http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/prepare-an-interview-t3109.0.html;msg3989910#msg3989910

You can also interact with others from your VO at the LVO thread on the open forum, all the best.
