Casablanca Interview in 1 week

[Azura 0]

My Fiancee has his medical exam on March 30th, 2010, and his interview at the consulate on April 1st. I'm really excited and anxious, he's extremely nervous. We're going through the checklist and paperwork together. From personal experience, what kinds of additional things should we bring, and what should we expect for the interview process? Should he really be that nervous? I just cant contain myself, I'm counting down the days, its all I can think about.

Wish these tips can be helpful!!!

More tips on the interview below……

1. Speak slow, and answer questions in detail. Stick to the question and don’t vier off the subject. Respond clear, and descriptive. Should not be longer than one minute to answer, but be sure to explain yourself.

2. If you do not know the answer to a question, do not lie. Say, "I don't know the answer to that at this time." or "I don't remember."

3. The answer to many questions will be in the papers that were sent in the petitions. Questions like, "what are your wife's parent's names". They will expect you to know the information given in your petitions. Review everything in your paperwork with your husband before his interview, and do a mock interview to see how the information may be applied.

4. Avoid saying "I think . . .". Women do this a lot. The examiner will expect you to know not be unsure, of your answers. Alwife, avoid adding "umm", "you know" and "ahh" type fillers to your speech.

5. When applicable, don't just state, demonstrate. If the examiner asks a question that can be answered with a document or photograph(s), provide it along with your answer.

For example, if the examiner asks, "What does your family think of your wife?", give them a picture or two with your answer; "They like her very much. Here is a picture of her with my mother at my home."

Or, "How many attended your wedding?" Answer, "(give a number, then say) We have wifeme lovely wedding photos of our guests having fun. Here are a few that I can show you."

6. Give American answers for dates and times. 12/24/07, not 24/12/07.

7. Dress well, but not overdressed.

8. Try to appear calm, well organized, and friendly. Nervousness raises suspicions.

9. Remain focused. If the examiner makes jokes, smile and enjoy, but do not make jokes too.

10. Make proper eye contact when conversing with the examiner, and try to control your own facial expressions assure that your face remains pleasant and cordial.

11. Be audible (means speak up) your examiner doesn't have to ask you to repeat your answers.

12. Organize your papers in a way that will allow you to retrieve them easily and quickly. Examiners appreciate order and someone who doesn't waste their time.

13. When the interview is over, always ask for the results. "What should I now tell my wife about my visa status after our interview?" Before you leave, have them explain any papers they give to you and/or any procedures they will be taking to complete your case. Try to get the examiner's name for future reference, if needed. Write it down. Remember to verify the phone number so they can contact you to pick up the VISA.!@! hurray@@!!!

14. Arrive early to the consulate, but always be prepared to wait for a time past your scheduled interview appointment time. Be careful of thieves around the consulate if you have to carry cash. Bring ID; you cannot enter without it.

CONFIDENCE IS THE KEY TO ANYTHING!

Does he have to get things like his birth certificate and the police papers translated for the interview? All of our conversations and things are in English already. What needs translating?

Also, the paperwork asks for "Evidence of financial support"

What is this? Support of who for whom?

Thanks!!
