So interview is over... phew... I am riding on fumes of little sleep.
As I suspected they gave him a hard time about the language issues. Even though he requested an interview in arabic she started with french....then they tried english... but you see I spoil him with speaking slow and a mix of english, broken french and what little arabic I know. Plus after 3.5 years of talking to each other online we just understand each other. I think that is normal is most cases...but in any event she ended up calling in someone that speaks arabic to translate... which is what he wanted in the first place and would have saved time... *rolls eyes. She said all this time talking with your wife and you dont know english better?? Well DUH... when you are not immersed in it and only use it to speak to ONE person what do you expect?? Anyway... he answered that much better than I would have.. hahaha he simply said my wife and I talk everyday and she understands me very good and I use a translater in the internet to help if there is something I don't understand. He also said (and it is true) that once he is here he is going to take ESL classes.
Other than this the rest seemed to go very well. At the end she asked him to wait and she returned the photos I sent and some papers...which I assume is my sponsorship application. She told him to get his medical redone and once she hears from the Dr that she would call him.
Most people are saying that if she asked him to redo the medical it must be good .... but we here on the forum know better than that... hahahaha...it simply expired on Feb 28th. The Dr's must make their money too *wink wink
I also thought this was interesting as I had not heard it on here before. She told him it is not her that decides or one person... it is a group of people that all sit down together with each application and they all go over it and then each one says whether they would give this person a visa or not and why. The decision is then made from this discussion..... interesting no?
I am beat... if anyone has any questions about the interview or the questions asked please just ask and I will try to answer as best I can.
Time to actually concentrate on my work...
