Setting the interview date was okay, we found an interview date for about a month later. Appointment was at 8.00 and we were there by 7.30. They called 7.45 first, and a few minutes later they announced they were expecting people whose interviews are at 8.00. First, they took my passport at the window outside. Then, I went through a door and through an x-ray. Everything went into the bin (I only had my wallet. Everything else was with my fiancèe. Inside, people at the desk gave me a number, and I started waiting for my turn. When it was my turn, a polite worker asked me for my documents one by one through a checklist. I wasn't able to locate one of the documents and she informed me I could print it out from a computer they had just set up on the side. I handed in all my document, printed out the missing one, and sat down, waiting for my number to light up again. I got to listen to a few people having their interviews. Some of them didn't have an updated letter of intent, or had applied for a refugee status, and so many different issues. I've witnessed a few people get denied for various reasons. Then it was my turn. CO was very polite and smiling. Asked me how my day was and all. Then we went through my documents together, and he asked me for a few additional ones (updated letter of intent from me as well). He thought out loud while going through the files which helped me understand what was going on. Then he began asking questions. He asked how we met, what my fiancée does for a living, and where we were gonna live. He made a couple of jokes and was overall very friendly in demeanor. I was expecting more questions but he just said "your visa is approved, you'll receive it within 7 days". I was very happy and excited. I thanked him, turned around and walked outside to my fiancée. It was a very pleasant experience.
