EEEEEEK - telephone interview!!!
 
:rofl: Can't quite believe it but had an email this morning from our case officer to say we can book our telephone interview for this week! Didn't expect this until the end of July so nearly fell off my chair! Does this mean they've done all the checking of our application and they're not going to request anything else now? I expected them to be in contact requesting something or other. How exciting! Better get revising.

Great news! Our C/O didnt ask for anything else once we had the email confirming the telephone interview! Good luck with the interview the questions seem to be the same, you can do a search on here for the questions. We made a list of questions and answers and had them with us at the interview!

Hi, Snao! We've just came on to search 'telephone interviews' and saw your post. Our interview is booked for Thursday morning - we were told it could take four months to hear from our c/o but it's only been a month!!! Soooo exciting and scary!! Hope all goes well for you x:thumbsup:

Hi again,
I've been revising tonight. Found some good threads with interview questions. Think I'm ok as long as they don't ask me to sing the national anthem. Helen - any luck with a result yet? I wonder how they'll contact you next - can you shed any light Jo-Chris? I'm sure I'll have immigration finger following that interview too. Wish you luck Denise01292, its nice to know someone else is going through it at the same time.

Fingers crossed

Best of luck DGH & Denise01292. I am sure you will both be fine.

Just make sure that you research the 'interview' threads on here. It will be pretty much the same questions. I wasn't asked any questions about NZ itself apart from questions regarding the cost of living & how much I expected to pay for a rental? However, just in case I did, I had an extra tab open with the Wiki page for NZ!!!!;)

We found out pretty quickly via e-mail (although it seemed like an age) & the letter arrived the following day!

Fingers crossed for you.:fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed:

Hi DGH, no,nothing yet! Immigration finger really bad at the mo! Will update as soon as I know. Take care.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear soon. I'm sure I read on a thread somewhere that NZIS are a little back-logged at the moment as they're granting lots of PR's.

12 hours to go before telephone interview! Just had a cappucino for something to do but now realise I probably won't sleep till 3am - Bad move! Maybe I'll follow it up with a horlicks. Speaking of horlicks, do they have it in NZ? Think I'll miss it if not. Anyway, I'll stop waffling now, just getting it all out of the way before my eloquent telephone interview tomorrow!

sjake Jun 17th 2009 9:40 pm

Re: EEEEEEK - telephone interview!!!
 
I don't think that I've had horlicks since I left home!!:rofl:

:fingerscrossed:for tomorrow.

Hi, hope the interview went well. Hubby had the call at 9.30am this morning. He said it was more or less the exact questions posted on here. He feels it went well, so fingers crossed.

Re: EEEEEEK - telephone interview!!!
 
:) Hi, I think it went well. Have been constantly thinking about my answers since. The phone rang bang on 10:30am and I jumped out of my skin even though I knew it was coming! My questions were also the same as those posted on here. The interview seemed fairly informal. :fingerscrossed: now for the result we want.

That's great news - such a relief but then the realisation goodness we're actually doing this!!! Congrats though!

Just to jump on this thread we had a phone call confirming we'd been approved last wednesday and now reading this I'm worrying (I'm a habitual worrier!!:unsure:) as we have nothing in writing. Has anyone else just had a call rather than e-mail?? He reckoned we should have passports etc back within 2 weeks....

Have been thinking about booking flights so e-mailed our case officer, sure he thinks I'm totally neurotic and probably wondering if he made right decision haha!!

Denise - Fab news, were are waiting to here if we get PR or WTR. Not sure whether to sell our house or rent. What made you decide to sell? House down the road is on the market and no interest but I know our area is good to rent. Not sure what to do!

Louisa:)

We just tried ours on the market to see if it would sell thinking we'd end up having to rent it. It sold within a week! We were lucky, but it only takes one person to fall in love with your house. Worth a try I say. Spruce it up a bit and hope for the best!
