December 2015 Interviews

[CallMeShams 34]

OK all...hubby got home and we had a chance to talk about the Interview. Hubby and daughter arrived at the consulate around 9:20 for his 9:30 Interview. He went inside and got his number. A female CO was nice enough to see him with a sleeping5 year old, ask him what number he had and clearly helped to move him up in queue. He went to the first window where he spent about 5 minutes handing over original birth cert for his daughter, police certificate and passports. He was told to sit down and listen for his name. He was called not too long after than to a different window where he was shown a pic of me (the passport sized pot that was sent in the with G-325A) and asked if that was his wife. He said YES and the interview began...She said "tell me about your wife"

1. When and how did you meet your wife?

2. How old were you?

3. How old is your wife's daughter and what is her name?

4. How old is your daughter? (the CO found it cute that both our girls are 5)

5. Has your wife ever been married? (she insisted yes even though the answer is no, but when he held firm on the no she reviewed the paperwork and apologized to him)

6. Have you ever travelled outside the country? she asked about trips he took to England as well as his many trips to the US and asked if he had ever overstayed on any of the trips.

7. Did you get married on your last trip to the US?

8. What happened to the relationship between you and your daughters mother?

He says the interview was more of a conversation rather than a Q&A session. He says both COs were pleasant and nice. She told him he would received his passport in 2 weeks.. She did not ask for any of the evidence he brought in. He spent less than 2 hours in the embassy.

Thank you much for the very thorough review. Really appreciate it.

It sounds like it wasn't too bad of an interview. They saw evidence of a bonafide relationship so that is good.

Thank you everyonne and also this forum. It was a long journey so without the support from the members of this forum, It would have been very difficult. I got my passport back after the VISA approval from Mumbai, India embassy.

Patience is the key. This is what I learnt from this journey..................

Wishing you all the best. Be patient when things are going slow. When the time comes it goes much faster than you ever imagined........ I have seen this from many members in this forum. The member population is not even 2% of the overall cases. Try to submit more documentation than required. Try to bring more documentation than required for the interview. Take all the originals and one copy of each to the interview. Be organized so that it will save time. Review several times before submitting anything either online or thru mail. Any mistake from our end will add up the waiting time as we are already waiting in every step of the process. Be ready with the necessary documentation before it requires so that it will not delay anything from our end. Please raise the questions if you have any to this forum. You will get quick responses from the members.

This is what I learnt............

Every day I called last week the representative read off the computer that my case complete is October 26. Shouldn't I have received the confirmation email today? 7 days right? It's 3:30pm EST already :/

I think you should within a week or so.

Hubby approved today!!!! yaaayyyy!!!!

Congratulations!

I read your review on your timeline!

That is so interesting that she showed your husband your picture from the G-325. That is a first that I have read.

I know they typically ask..who filed for you...or who is the petitioner to you.

Thanks for the link. very informative.

I see people going to Vancouver consulate for Interviews and people to Montreal. I always wondered why I was assigned MTL consulate, and not Vancouver (since I live here)

[Roni07 11]
