Just came back from the interview.

 

It was a long and adventurous day. 

 

First when I reached the parking area, I checked my documents one last time before going inside. And guess what. My 2x2 photos were missing. Mini heart-attack right there. I looked twice but didn't find it. I went inside to see the photo studio shop closed. Luckily it was open in 20 minutes and I  got my photos done. Took the rental car and reached the embassy at 8 am for a 8;30 am interview. Waited till 8;30 and was allowed to go in. Hell lot of people in there. Was called after an hour for biometrics. An hour and a half later for documents submission and finally at around 11.55 am had my interview. Longest wait of my life.

 

Interview;

Me- Good morning, how are you 

CO- Good. How are you

Me- *forgot to reply for a few seconds* .... I`m good

CO- Who is calling you *voice disrupts*

Me-Sorry, what

CO-Who is calling you

Me-My wife, *NAME*

CO-What do you do

Me-Answer

CO-What does you wife do

Me-Answer

CO-When did you get married

Me-answer

CO-How many people were at the wedding

Me-Answer

CO-Do you have any pictures from the wedding

CO-Who is this *pointing at my parents*

Me-My parents

CO-Have you been to any other country

Me-Yes, Kuwait and Australia

CO-How long were you in Australia for

Me-3 years

CO-Do you have your police certificate from Australia

Me-Yes, here

CO-You wil receive your passport in 2 weeks

Me-Sorry, what

CO- You will receive your passport in 2 weeks

Me- Thank you *keeps standing*

CO-You can go home now

Me- Oh, alright. Thank you

 

I was one of the last few applicants left. And Thanks to God, I was so happy that I gave an old couple who came all the way from Lahore a ride to the bus terminal on the way back. Their son was calling them and they got the visa.

 

Best of luck to all of you. I just called my wife and scared her first by telling her that it went into AP. LOL. She freaked out but then I told her its approved. hehehe Alhamdulilah. 

That's pretty straightforward interview with a great result... Congrats.. Wish you an easy POE

The visas do work.  My wife joined me in New York last night.  POE was easy.  They asked her a couple of questions.  Where is your husband?  She said outside waiting for me.   She said he was joking but he did ask her if she had another husband in Vietnam.  

So all, please be prepared for a couple of questions from the immigration people.   Otherwise, entry was no problem.  :)

Many congratulations to you both!! Sooo happy for you guys!! 🥂
