The details on the interview

[ahlam ladida 0]

I will try to give you the details of his interview today. Mind you they have been filtered thru a very excited Moroccan. He said the interview lasted about 35 inutes. She really grilled him.... He said some of the other ones only lasted 5 or 10 minutes. He heard several people get a denial. And several receive approvals. Alot of people. Ok here is what I could get out of him.

He arrives at 7am. Appointment is at 8. He was interviewed about 10:30am. The infamous Asian lady. He said she was very polite but serious. She looked at every piece of evidence. Every photo and asked about the people in them. She read emails and chat logs. She asked about the packages and what was sent. She was pretty relentless. But my husband was quick and sure. His english is excellent and she asked where he learned to speak so well. He told her he went to school to learn. He thinks she was impressed because he has no difficulty with her questions and provided quick responses.

These are some of the questions she asked:

What does your wife do?

What do you do?

Who are the people in the pictures?

What did you send to your wife?

What did she send to you?

How many times was your wife married?

What are the names of her exhusbands?

When was her last divorce?

When did you meet your wife?

When were you married?

What were the exact dates of your wifes visit?

Does your wife have children? How many and what are their names?

Where do your wife's parents live?

What did you do when your wife was in Morocco?

Where was the wedding?

Do you talk to women online?

How to you talk to your wife?

There were more questions, but this is about the main stuff. No mention of the age difference. At the end she asked for his passport and told him she would call him next week. She gave him a paper with several boxes to check and his name and interview date at the top. The paper is pre-checked to state that once info come back from Washington DC re fingerprints then he will be contaced to return. She told him not to worry about the paper it is just to bring with him when he returns next week. I think the paper is printed and ready for each interview and then if there is a problem then the additions boxes are checked. ie the 221g. So it was good. I am very proud of him for knowing me so well and being so confident and relaxed. But now he is so excited he cant eat. With God's blessing he will be here by the end of October.

So now we are just waiting the fingerprint check and a phone call. If he gives me any more info I will post again. Much shorter post tho.

Thanks for the support,

Patti

Do you talk to women online?

Thanks for sharing your husband's experience, Patti. It's so useful to those who interview after you. I found the question above to be rather interesting. I haven't heard of them asking that before.

She asked him several questions about talking online to women. He told her yes he talked to women online. He works at a Riad and talks regularly with guest that have stayed there or will be staying there. He said she was really intense on this issue. I am sure it is just because of the amount of amount of marriage surfing that goes on there.

Abderrazzak said he felt like she really wanted to find a reason to deny him. He is so funny, I know he was sweating but claims he was all that.

Thanks for sharing and congrats! I was surprised about wanting to know the names of the ex-husbands. Is that a common question?

She even asked about my tatoos. Thats strange to me. He said yes she has 3 tatoos and one is my name in arabic. She was quite suprised to learn that.

Wow Patti, She really drilled him! How does she even know his answers are correct? Did you send her a profile before the interview?? LOL Farid and I both agree that the tattoo question crossed the line. In no way should she expect a man to talk about his WIFE's body in a room full of people! Praise God your husband sailed right through her questions and impressed her with his love and commitment to you. We're just so happy for you both!

Oh the tattoo question is a little much for me but apparently it isn't much for casa to ask that. I have heard about people being asked about their sex lives in the interview! Awful.
