I arrived around 8.30 a.m. for the document check-in which was scheduled at 9. The guards were already letting people in before 9. The submission of documents was a pretty painless process. I had copies of all my documents except for the original birth certificate in Malay. For some reason, I thought they only needed a copy of the translated version. I told the lady at the counter that I didn't have it. She grunted something which sounded like she wasn't pleased. Whoops. She was fine after that though. I was out by 9.10 a.m. which left me ample time to window shop at KLCC.
I left the mall at 12.30 thinking that the guards would let people in earlier than the scheduled interview time of 1.30 but unfortunately, this time they waited until it was almost time i.e. 1.30 p.m.
There were a total of four immigrant visa applicants. The numbers we took in the morning were re-used therefore each of us were called accordingly. The officer asked me - how did we meet, what does my fiance work as, when did he propose. He asked if I had any pictures of us together. Then he started typing away at his keyboard. The silence was awkward but I suppose it was better than him quizzing me continuously. When he was almost done typing, he asked the names of my future in-laws. Finally he said, "Well my friend, your visa is approved. My colleague will tell you how you can collect your passport." He was pleasant, congratulated me and wished me well.
All in all, the interview was great. I stressed about it more than I needed to. As long as your documents are in order, your relationship is genuine, they're not out to make your life miserable
