Good day all,
Our interview was this morning at 8:00AM.
Upon arrival documents requested were the original appointment letter and new appointment letter, 2 passport pics and passport.
Inside at the first window, marriage certificate, birth certificate, citizen certificate and police record(s) were taken. My husband had a police record from Jamaica and Trinidad.
He waited for about 30 mins for the CO to call him for his interview. He was asked:
-The name of the petitioner and petitoner's daughter.
-Where does your wife live and with whom
-Questions about his previous visitor's visa application and why his wife wasn't listed as the person of reference
-Petitioner's previous joint sponsor Affidavit of support (I was a joint sponsor for someone in 2018)
-He was also asked to show pictures, mainly non-wedding pictures and they looked at our call log he provided
-Now, the CO began explaining to him that the document he presented as his Trinidad Police Certificate was not the original. They went back and forth about the validity of this for awhile, but unfortunately, my husband brought the letter referencing his police certificate BUT left the original certificate at home by mistake.
This is something he and I went over several times including Sunday and last night. I specifically reminded him to ensure he had the 3 documents sent from Trinidad for the police certificate and he assured me had it.
With that being said, they kept his passport and issued a 221g for the return of the original police certificate via courier service.
Let this be a lesson to you all not to take for granted that you have all the paperwork. Go over the interview checklist, double check, triple check and make 100% certain of this. Check again the night before your interview.
Other than that the CO was friendly and didn't ask many questions. She allowed him time to search for the document and explained return service when he could not find it. Disappointing, but delayed is not denied. We are now preparing to tackle this obstacle.
