Now a days, In every interview they test us by asking personal questions. Maybe to check how mentally we are strong. If we answer it in smart way obviously we will the get the job. So dont lose your hope and take this interview as your experience. Be prepared and do well in the next interview. All the best!!!

Well, I had a phone interview earlier this week. It all seemed to be going well until the interviewer started asking immigration related questions.
She started with a harmless question about whether I was authorized to work in the U.S. I replied that I am authorized to work here in the U.S.
She then asked what authorizes me to work in the U.S. I told her that I am a permanent resident.
She went on to say that they normally do background checks on candidates going back 10 yrs asked if I believe that there was anything in my background that would prevent me from passing a background check.
I informed her that I do would not have any problem passing a background check. However, I have been resident in the United States for 4 yrs. I continued, telling her that I was a member of the St. Lucia police force for 8yrs. Since the police force is a government entity it would be easy to verify my background. I further told her that in order to be a member of the police force, it must be verified that I am free from criminal convictions or any such activity.
Her next question was since I have been in the United States for only 4 yrs, how is it that I am a permanent resident. I told her that I am married to a U.S. citizen so I was able to obtain permanent residence on that basis.
From there she continued the interview and told me that I would be scheduled for an in person interview next week.
The interview was on Thursday morning earlier this week, and I have not gotten any emails from the company thus far. I have started making notes just in case I do not hear anything further from the company.
