General Consensus - Interviews

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

To people who have watched this section for a few years, what is the rough % of cases with interviews. Anecdotal evidence on the net seems to point to a number much lower then AOS.

I think I have seen only one interview that I can remember since I started to look at the ROC forum (which was about 2 years ago now). They are definitely the exception rather than the norm.

Agree with Kathryn41. I've noticed 3 interviews from the time while I was applying up to about June this year. Mohsin is one of the VJ'rs (we have similar timelines so I remember him in particular), then there was at least another 2 couples a month who posted after Mohsin's interview. Many more RFEs though... So the percentage is small. And of the interviews I've noticed, they seemed more like likely to be 'quality control' interview than the 'fraudulent' marriage type. But obviously there is a selection bias of people who actually post on VJ.

Adding: Mohsin and birdlover2008 are the 2 users I remember who had an interview, and there was another guy who was Danish I think, and he'd been waiting a really really long time, but I can't remember his username sorry.

Do you guys think its more common for people who did not come into the country with spousal of fiance visa, and who had and interview already during AOS to get another interview for ROC?
