You can always send additional documents to your VO if you want to. However, I don't think it will make any difference because if they want an interview then they will interview you. And I don't suggest that you mention anything about the interview as this may raise suspicion.

Only you know if you sent QUALITY of proof, over quantity of proof.

There has been many people able to have their interviews waived after sending more proofs to the VO. Just a couple weeks ago one member had their interview cancelled after sending more proofs of their recent visit to Singapore. This member had also emailed them asking about the interview and if it could be scheduled while she was visiting her husband.

Hi,

That's great, i guess made right decision. i emailed our VO for additional relationship proof after i got AOR2. although they didn't request. i emailed them my husband itinerary for a month and half visit this Dec. and msg, remittance slip. i mentioned, my husband will meet my parents this time, spend holidays together and celebrate our wedding anniversary.

although MVO don't usually set interview,just don't want too confident about it, since we have lots of red flag.

cheer!

I sent Singapore additional proofs twice before we recieved an interview request and since then I have come to Indonesia for 4 months and sent my visa, boarding passes, and return itinerary. I haven't recieved any response.

I hope they will cancel your interview , just like others. everyone deserved fair treatment.
oh well, i guess, every VO has different style of evaluating our papers. i hope you get response soon... :)

You have taken the right decision!

Send them some (really good) recently taken pictures in wonderful locations! They will realise you are having great time with your wife.

Farhana,
The interview was a little over 1/2 hour. He answered all truthfully, there wasn't any question he wasn't sure of, all he knew; obviously he knows everything about me. The reason for all these questions were probably because i haven't lived in my home country (Sri Lanka) since I was young, they wanted to know how well he knows me.

As for the answer he gave for the genuine relationship; I posted it on the Sri Lankan Thread:http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/processing-time-for-spousal-visa-sri-lanka-t60979.4020.html

His answer is not applicable for anyone else because he has a well to do business in Sri Lanka and he said: "he is doing well in his income in Sri Lanka and do not need to leave all that behind to go to a foreign country, unless he truthfully married for love and want to be with me where I have spend most of my life, and it wasn't fair for him to ask me to move to SL for him"
