We had our interview today and wanted to share our experience as we have monitored all of the reviews for sometime on VJ and found it to be very helpful. So we just want to thank those who updated this information and hope this helps some other people who will be having interviews in the future.
First of all, it was very cold (-9C) this morning and we decided to try to be there around 7am and not try to be letter A. We arrived around 7:10am and were fourth in line. Since they take A-E up the elevator in one group, this really is okay. They do go in the left door for the screening, so that was helpful to know when you line up. BTW, around 7:30ish there must have been about 25 people in the line. After clearing security when we were allowed to go inside, we were taken to the 19th floor as a group with A-E(we were E). We were upstairs around 8am. Everything you read as to the security screening (i.e. no phones, etc.) and the metal detector, and how helpful the screeners were is the way it was. As to the process upstairs.....if you have done everything that they tell you in the appointment letter and you have it organized it will be a very pleasant experience. The personnel was very pleasant and seemed to appreciate the organization. We did put the sticky notes labeled on each section they asked for and had an original and copy as they requested in the letter. (I read this on a recent review and it was very helpful) The staff could not have been any nicer to deal with and it seemed that they kind of \"sponsored\" us thru the process.
What they asked in the interview (which was very quick for us):
1. How and where did we meet
2. When did we get engaged
3. Had Cathy ever had a issue at the border
4. Had she ever been arrested or had a problem with the police
5. I was asked if I had insurance (which I have not seen before in any other reviews)
6. We were asked how soon we would be entering on the Visa and if we wanted to delay (no way would we take a chance for another delay!!!!!!)
We were out and on our way around 8:50am. Everyone we encountered treated us very well and it was indeed a very special day.
NOW, if the AOS journey will goes as well!!!!
