Our interview experience on monday

[bellybutton 0]

]Hi VJers, Our interview was on Monday 28th by 11.00am, In the first place, the GPS took us to a wrong place and we had to find out the hard way, but we finally made it like 5 mins late. We got in and the officer at the desk was really nice and took our letter while directing us to sit down. We sat down for like 5 mins and I noticed a certain woman going up and down the lobby and looking at us with the side of her eyes, my wife and her kinda suspected she was gonna be our IO and guess what? She was!

The interview played out mainly as a mini-stokes interview where we got separated right from the start with my wife going in first with all the documents and pics. She was asked the following questions;

My name, how we met, how many bedrooms, how many brothers and sisters, favorite sports team, favorite movies, how much I earn, how much she earns, what kinda graduate program I am studying, what my research interest is, what kinda sports I play and position, what kinda medications she uses, her daughter from a previous relationships name and birthday. After that, their conversation was like a friendly one spanning from football (they both have the same favorite team) to dancing with the stars(funny ain’t it?). We showed her joint bank docs, joint insurance docs, joint cell phone bills, e.t.c At the end of the interview, she took my I-90 and said everything looked alright and she was gonna have to review the case, that made me disappointed because I hoped we were gonna be approved on the spot because all of our answers matched except that I didn’t mention all 3 medications( I mentioned just 1) and my wife didn’t know what position I play. Its been 4 days after the interview now. I pray she makes a decision quick cos the wait is so not cool

That sounds like an ok interview. Good that there was some friendly chat after the questions, I think that is a good sign.

I hope for a quick decision for you, I can only imagine how it must feel for you now to wait!

Good luck!
