My AoS Interview Experience!

[Azsara 110]

So we had our interview yesterday for our GC.

We were scheduled in at 9.20am at Detroit embassy. and we were VERY NERVOUS

We got there at 9am, met the receptionist at the door who immediately picked up that I was British (cue attempts at British accent and slang from said receptionist). I politely laughed and applauded him on his British accent before we went through to the main waiting area.

My husband and I start going through the HUGE binder that I had put together the night before, just to familiarize ourselves. I had collated loads and loads of pictures, loads of joint documentations, a copy of our AoS package, as well as details of our bills and leases etc. basically everything it told us to on the letter.

We were called in by a middle aged lady and taken to an office where we had to swear an oath before sitting down. She asked me for our passports and we sat down on chairs opposite her. She then asked me what MY parents' names were (was expecting her to ask me what my husbands parents names were) and then asked me for my husbands name. I hesitated a bit as the question seemed too simple!

She then told me she was going to go through a list of generic questions, while she ticked off my answers on a piece of paper;

"Are you a Nazi?"

'Are you a spy?"

"Are you a polygamist?"

"Do you or have you ever had any children held hostage or kidnapped"

etc. (I was used to these questions from the K1 application, my husband was a bit shocked lol)

Then she asked us about our wedding, just conversational very friendly and laughing We told her about the problems we had at my London interview which I told her was totally my fault for bringing the wrong bloody birth certificate! She said it sounded like a nightmare and she was sorry we had to go through all of that!

Then she asked me what my husband enjoys doing, I said umm he likes sports, playing xbox and eating out. She then asked Steve the same question, he said I enjoy reading and going to restaurants. Honestly I felt like our answers sounded kinda generic and lame.

She said" okay well your gold card will be in the mail within the next 10 days!"

I was kind of clutching my red binder that I had spent ohhh about 2 months compiling. She saw me look at it and said

"Oh did you want to show me anything else?" I said "Well I bought some joint docs in case you wanted to see them?". She said "....okay sure".

She didn't even glance at them, literally no interest in them at all.

Really that was that. We were out. We were in the interview for around 10 minutes....

Kind of an anti-climax!
