The interview was relatively quick and easy. Much better than expected. Arrived at the consulate at 12:00. I met some other people there who applied for spousal visas. The security guard came out at 13:00. He asked for your name, checked it off on his tablet and then check to see whether your passport photos are the right size. You then have to switch off your phone and hand in any phones and electronics you have on you. They keep it in a plastic bin until you’re done. You can however take in your handbag etc. We went through to the room where the interviews are done. A lady there asks for your passport, and gives you a number. You then get called to the first set of windows by number. They take your fingerprints and then asks for your documents one by one. First all the official docs like UBC, PCC, proof of payment, etc. after that the financial support affidavit and supporting docs. And then for any evidence of relationship you have. From there you sit down again. You get called to the second set of windows from there. They ask you to swear an oath and then start checking again that all docs are there. He asked questions as he went along but nothing serious. When did you first meet in person, when was the last time you saw each other, how did you meet. The guy I had was extremely friendly and helpful. He told me that I’m approved and the visa will be ready in 7 to 10 business days. He gave me back my original docs and also some of my evidence as I had a huge pack! He said I will have to carry all of that with me to US so didn’t want to use the whole big pack. He was also considerate of original letters that might get lost. He said congratulations and good luck. And that was that! No issues whatsoever.
