Interview Questions and Advice

[Jasman0717 8]

When I first came here I started collecting interview questions. They really helped Claudeth prepare for the interview.

I'm still a few months away from dealing with the embassy in Manila but I'm headed over to spend 2 weeks with my wife in Zambales and I've got a file folder full of everything that has happened so far and will be happening in the near future ( she has no computer or internet access ). Thanks for putting together the Questions and advice list. It will be her study guide !

I actually didn't put the list together .. someone else originally posted it, with many repetitive questions being asked in different ways. I actually just removed the duplicate questions and tried to organize them a bit.

Have a great time with your fiancee.

Very nice information.

I will add one question that was asked of me during my K-1 interview in Montreal. After going through the list of questions about my fiance and our relationship, the interviewer paused, looked at me for a minute and then said "So, what do you want me to do?" I was somewhat taken aback and answered (feeling uncomfortably bold in doing so) "I want you to approve my application and give me my K-1 visa". He kept looking at me, waited a bit more, then asked "Are you sure?", and I replied "Yes, I am". He looked at me a bit longer, then looked down at the paperwork and said 'OK". I really got the impression that he was expecting me to say "No I am not sure" or something ridiculous like that. I have no idea what he was trying to accomplish, nor do I think there was anything in my demeanour to suggest anything otherwise than approving the visa, so I am left just believing he was wondering why an older Canadian with a successful life and career in Canada would be willing to give it up and move to the southern US - it was all I could think of.

So, maybe adding some sort of statement that you may be quizzed about what you really want to happen and be prepared to stand your ground rather than become uncertain and confused by the question might also be of use.

What an interesting question...I guess I would more expect that to be given to someone who appears immature and timid...doesn't fit your description too much.

Funny things that must go on in peoples heads
