Hi All,

I too have been waiting to post this for a long time and finally my dream has come true.

I am supposed to collect my Visa stamped passport in a few hours.
I would like to thank everybody in the NG for helping me to cope up with the frustration of waiting for a long time and also special thanks to Mr Andrew Miller, Mr Jim Humpries and Mr Jim Metacalf for their valuable advice.

This NG gave me hope when things were uncertain,and I hope this message will give hope to many others still waiting.

Congrats bright!!
Any tips on the interview as i am going for mine in 2 days!

Hi Jhon,

Just be confident and answer honestly. My interview took only 15 mins, most of the question were on Job experiance. Checked my University education and asked my wife about her studies too.

The Visa officer was very friendly and took most of the time to type on the computer while asking me to explain about certain aspects of my job.

I was nervous at the interview, and he said it's OK to be nervous just relax and take your time. He was extreamly friendly and kind.

Don't worry , I am sure you will be fine.

Thanks so much for the reply Bright. Did you apply to get your caips and if so, do you know the reason for your interview and how many points did you score at paper sreening?

Will hugely appreciate you help.
Cheers

Hi Jhon,

well I didn't request for the CAIPS. I once thought about getting it and then for some reason decided not to.Therefore I am not aware of the marks I got except that it is > 70.
