[Mordant 0]

HI All

My interview was Augst 31st 2009. Appointment letter stated to be there for 9:00am EST. I went there early around 8:00am. The security individual informed me that its first come first served. Therefore

Tip : Go early at 7:45am.

See the security guy or stand at the door, they will come get you

Ensure you don't bring ANY BAGS or napsack or Mobile device or phone. They don't have a place to put these, they will ask you to leave the premise and come back.

Once you are inside, you go through metal dector and all that. Just take your time, follow there instruction.

Once down, you are asked to go downstairs and wait for an officer to come get you

When you are downstairs, you will see an elevator. and some chairs. sit near the elevator.

When officer comes down, she will ask people to get in. Get inside the elevator and stay at the back. There is a exit door.

Elevator will go to 19th floor and go out the back door, so you have to be first...that is why you stay in the back.

When you get out, go LEFT where the sign is. That is cashier / BOOTH #14. You may see people sit down but don't. Keep moving and get in line for the cashier A/B.

You then get TICKET / #. giver her your appointment letter and she will give you a #. Take the # and sit down.

when you sit down look at the #'s and signs. Your # will show up on the board like A1 -> Room 5

So If your # is A1, you ahve to go to Room 5. ensure you know where rooms are.. just so you have an idea.

when they call you its easy....basic stuff, nothing crazy, just listen to what they ask and answer honestly.

REMEMBER: You must bring a Xpassport envelope that is stated in your package, I was on a sponsorship visa, so I had to bring one. It was in a document like page 20 or something so make sure you bring this ottherwise, there is a delay..and you have to go downstairs outside the building to some pharama plus and get it...

Goodluck, if you have questions, pm or ask

Cheers.
