Sponsoring wife
Hello,
My wife in India just got a letter saying that she needs to appear for an
interview in New Delhi - and that would happen sometime in the next 6
months.
Does anybody have any clues/tips as to what they would ask in the interview?
Thanks
Ashok

Re: Sponsoring wife
She will be mostly asked about your relationship and will have to provide solid
evidence proving your relationship.

Re: Sponsoring wife
They will most likely be wanting to establish the genuine nature of yoru
relationship. there was someone in our yahoo group recently whos husband is
being sponsored from Egypt and he recently attended an interview in Cairo
and passed and id imagine it would be very similar ill see if i can find a
relevant post of her experience and copy it here for you.
this is all i can find really about what was said, mostly all her posts are
of relief hehe:

Some of the questions she asked him seemed totally rediculous to me. Like,
"Why does she love you?" and "Prove to me you love her." She didn't mean
the physical proof.....she had all that in front of her. He just told her
he couldn't prove that to her because it was a feeling, it was in his heart
and there was no way to prove that to her or anyone else...except me.
))
The first thing she said to him was, "How did you meet your wife?" He said,
"the internet", she said, "I don't believe you can meet someone on the net."
He said, "you can believe it or not...it's your opinion, but that's how I
met her." Then, the second thing she said was, "I think you just want to
Immigrate to Canada." He had all the proof in the world to prove her wrong,
thankfully!! He said she was really, really nasty in comments she made
about us and our relationship. But, whatever, the main thing is that HE WAS
ACCEPTED!!!!!

hrm not sure if this is a good example or not, he seemed to get a vindictive
interviewer, hehe, im sur ethey arent all like that, but even still he
passed. So basicaly she just needs to be honest and able to show its a
genuine relationship you have known each other for years and met in real
life many times etc etc

Hi Ashok:
It was my husband that had the interview in Cairo. And, I agree with Drew, that this was not a "typical" interview. He had an interviewer who was brutal in her questioning and comments. After the interview, even employees at the embassy told him she was one of the worse and they didn't expect him to pass it. Everyone else I talked to had absolutely no problem whatsoever. So, questions asked: (Keep in mind...every interview is different and they will ask different questions based on your situation. This was only HIS experience and there are no standard lines of questions for all applicants.)
Does she have a child?
How old is he?
When is his birthday?
When is her birthday?
How did you meet?
What will you do in Canada?
Her son's birthday is June 10? (answer NO, that is HER birthday).
How do you communicate?
What language do you communicate in?
I sent 3 letters from friends and family supporting our relationship and she asked who the three people were.
Why does she love you so much?
What will you do if I don't give you the visa?
How did you meet?
Where did she stay when she visited in March?
Where did she stay when she visited in July?
What does your family think about the marriage?
How did you learn English?
Some comments she made were:
I think you just want a visa to go to Canada.
I don't believe you can fall in love over the net.
I don't believe you can meet someone on the net.
If I don't give you the visa you can divorce her and marry an Egyptian lady.
I don't think she wants more children. (I am older than him....NOT A LOT!!))
She read 3 of my letters I sent to my husband, the 3 letters from friends and family, but never looked at pictures, phone bills, visa stamps, plane tickets, etc.
So, that was, basically, my husband's experience. But, in the end, he passed the interview. It's easy when you are telling the truth...there is nothing to remember. They are asking questions about YOUR life and you know the answers better than anyone. And, they also have to have grounds for refusal and put it in writing. So, although his interview was brutal, and I believe, not a typical one, she couldn't find anything to say our marriage was only for convenience because it wasn't. NEVER LIE.....ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH. If they ask a question and she doesn't know, it's better to say, "I don't know", rather than guess and be totally wrong. Don't worry, she'll do fine. I hope this is helpful. )
