MY Interview experience - Nov 14, 2008

[Richard and Aida 0]

Hello my fellow VJ's... as promised and I owe this to those who wrote their experience's too:

Nov 14,2008 6:30am

Since my appointment was 6:30am I stayed in the nearby hotel. I slept early in preparation of the big day. Being early will always give a credit. Ate breakfast for energy. I went there at exactly 4am and waited til the guard will call the 6:30am immigrant visa status (6:45am) Be attentive or else the people behind you will be ahead of you. Dress well(or I may say presentable to look smart) Fell smart( pray for guidance and strength) and as our sis here in VJ said (Shasha414) Smile..........

The guard called the attention of the Immigration Visa(IV) with an appointment of 6:30am prepare your appointment letter and ID for the guard will inspect it before he lets u "IN" in the waiting lounge. No cellphone, No MP3....and other electronic device.

At exactly 7am you will go inside already....You will pass by a X-ray machine just like in the airport....

You will be asked to stay in the waiting area....Then u will be called to the ticketing booth (where you will be given ur number) Prepare your appointment letter only (keep your ID no need)

After that u will be asked to sit down again and wait till ur Number/Name be called (Be attentive and everytime you hear the "DING" sound look at the queing machine for sometimes number sometimes name. The first time you will be called it will be the pre-screener (Window 20).......she or he will ask for the documents that u have prepared as for me : My Birth Certificate, Marriage Cert., Letters/e-mails, Money transfers, Pictures, Phone bills....My husband arrange money transfer and phone bills neatly and fastened in a folder (that the pre-screener can't help but appreciate what he did and commented "very neat and organize) (as to how I prepare my documents kindly refer to our fellow VJ's oooPinKoooo I just got the idea from her- Thank you sis for the posting.....)
