Interview in London

[Fifitrix 1]

Does anyone have any idea how they go about interviewing our husbands/wives -- and a child? Both my husband and his son have interviews at 10.00am...I assume they interview the child separate? Anyone know anything about that?

thanks

It depends on the age of the child I guess, but from what I've read and heard from a friend from England, they really don't ask too many questions of the child. They don't usually interview them separately, and they usually only ask simple questions like 'Are you looking forward to moving to America?'.

Hi there

thanks for taking the time to reply. He is 16. You know how kids are (especially 16 year old boys) they don't have a clue about anything lol -- so I hope they don't start asking him dates and what not --- lol- but he will remember having to wear a tux at our wedding in 100 degree heat

You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't be more specific. The friend I mentioned - her son was only about 4 when they interviewed so of course, they aren't going to get much out of a four year old.

London interviews are not like a quiz. They are a short friendly chat. No worries.

Thanks for your reply....I hope its not too long. I am trying to gauge how long it takes them to actually issue the visas once approved. I seemed to have narrowed it down to between 2-6 days ....its so frustrating not being able to book flights already!

It's really risky booking anything until the visa is in hand. Things I've seen happen to delay delivery:

--the embassy computers go down causing a backlog

--the courier truck breaks down

--it's summer when everybody is needing a tourist or student visa for fall term

--the visa arrives and the name is misspelled or otherwise needs to go back and be corrected

--the applicant is assigned additional processing (AP) and the visa is not issued for 1-8+ months.

Thanks for that information -- Yeah, we aren't booking anything until the visas are in hand!
