I am glad that you described the interview , we went two weeks ago and have been separated in very elegant manner . The IO let my wife to the restricted area then stepped between us and asked me to stay in the waiting room .
Nice and effective trick . I have had no problem with it , but surprised me .
The rest of the interview was productive and really decent , no complaints at all . I understand that they have to make sure there is no abuse , so I did answer all questions without problem .
The IO was friendly , but sometimes inserted a question .
The main reason I responded to your topic , is that when I asked other people on this web to tell me how the interview looks like , they did not bother to say anything , like I was asking so much .
I understand that every IO conducts it differently , but if some one asked me , I would normally answer that .
So , I do appreciate your description , even it is already after our interview. Maybe us , coming from the Slavic countries , we are more warm and friendly. ::))
The interesting thing is , that we got completely different document at the interview, but I do not need to leave ASAP . BTW , the card came exactly one week after the interview .
