HI, everyone, I'm going to share with you the experiance of how my interview went. 11/09/2017
I arrived Riyadh at 7:30 AM (local time), and I had to stay at the airport for the next 4 hours because my interview was at 12:30 PM, I arrived the embassy like 11:50 am, and we had to wait until 12:15 pm to get inside the embassy, they are very strict about the time , they won't let you in until it becomes 12:15 pm.
there will be a very strict inspection of all your belongings once you are inside the embassy, you will go through the metal detector scanner and so all your documents will be going to the X-RAY machine, of course, if you are wondering , can i bring my smartphone?! yes my friend you can bring it , BUT they will confiscate your phone and put it in an envelope and you will get a number , once you are outside the embassy you can claim your phone back. Anyways, I was let go by the guards, I entered the embassy, and took a number, you tell him an immigrant visa and he will give you a number. I sat for 10 minutes and they started calling the numbers in order, you go to window #12 to submit your passport and your appointment letter and you will be told to sit down again until you will be called again.
So my number appeared on the screen, I was called to window #8 where there was an Indian- American or Pakistani-American I don't know exactly! he was a cool guy and kinda funny ! so he asked me do you speak English, I answered yes sir! he said excellent! then he opened my case file which I was surprised by the quantity of paper in my file. The questions he asked me was very little, and it was as follows:
1-who is your petitioner?
2- where do you live?
3- why did you transfer your case from KL to here?
4-how old is your wife?
5- how did you meet?
6-how old I'm?
7-asked me about the name of the mosque we did the (NIkkah).
8-what did I study?
9-Duration of study?
10- do I work?
11-asked me to present the original documents such as (police clearances + original marriage certificate + birth certificate).
12- asked me to show him our wedding pictures. and he took it with my original documents.
13-asked me who came from her side on the day of the wedding and from my side.
14-he showed me a picture from the case file and asked me if it's my wife or not. I told him yes she is.
15-he said give me your medical report.
16-WHERE IS SHE NOW?
17-HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN EACH OTHER?
that's all the questions he asked me, and he told me to have a seat and I will be called soon. I sat for like a half hour, and I was called to window #13 where the consul was waiting for me, and he greeted me, and asked me to raise my right hand and to swear that all these documents I provided and the things I have said is true. I swore. then he took out a paper which is written in it my rights and obligations in the UNITED STATES. I was like OMG OMG I was approved. then the consul asked me 6 questions ONLY. HOW OLD IS YOUR WIFE, WHERE DOES SHE WORK, HOW OFTEN DO YOU COMMUNICATE, WHERE IS SHE NOW, HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN EACH OTHER, HOW LONG YOU ARE MARRIED?!!
AS I WAS ANSWERING HE WAS TYPING IN HIS COMPUTER, AND FINALLY HORAAAAAAY, HE TOLD ME CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND YOU WILL BE GETTING YOUR VISA IN TWO WEEKS, WE WILL SEND IT WITH SAMSA, I WAS VERY VERY VERY HAPPY, he gave me back all my original documents except the police certificates and my passport.
ALHAMDULILAH IT WENT WELL, GUYS YOU SHOULD CALM DOWN, NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF, CONFIDENCE IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS INSHA ALLAH.
I WISH YOU A GOOD LUCK, AND IM SORRY HOW I WROTE THE QUESTIONS, IT WASNT IN THE APPROPRIATE ORDER, BECAUSE IT KEPT COMING TO MY MIND WHILE I WAS TYPING, BUT YOU GOT MY POINT.
