Interview In Riyadh

[Lancelotte25 1]

Finally, I had my interview in Riyadh on January 23,2010, my schedule was 1:30 pm and I had my final interview with the American consul at around 3:40 pm, my interview lasted for about 20 minutes.

The American consul was a fine young woman, she is so nice but if she is talking with the other consular officer and ask for their opinion about my case you can see that she is a very tough officer.

She asked me with so many questions, and most of the questions are not just answerable by YES or NO or precise dates of each and every occasion, I have to think hard about the answers that I will give to her.

what I learned and what I can say to those who are having the interview soon,BE HONEST, that's the main tool.

Pictures, Greeting Cards and my wife's telephone bills played a very important role with my interview, they didn't ask for any other documents.

During the later time of the interview, the lady consul just talking to me in a very casual way and after repeating some of her previous questions, she told me to go to other window to get my stuff back, she didn't told me if I was approved. The Indian consul returned all the original documents we submitted to the NVC and keep my passport. He didn't told me either if I was approved, He just gave me a violet card with a written phrase "Collect Passport" and asked me to bring it to the FedEX and return the airway bill. I was really confused and thinking if I was denied or approved, so before I leave the window I asked the Indian consul if I was approved and he said, Yes. I didn't feel anything, as in anything. I passed through the window of the American lady consul and said Thank you and she just gave me a smile.

Until I got back to my hotel room, I'm still not convinced if I was really approved.

I can't wait to see my passport with visa in it to make my self convinced or believe that I was really approved.

Congratulations on your approval and yes the Indian Consul is the one who will give you a better understanding if you are approved or not. Don't worry, you are approved but like you said I wouldn't feel better until the visa is in my hands
