Igore it ,don't take it too seriously.
But be ware of your dressing ,hairstyle,...make a great first impression to the interviewer ,this is the most important
don't be focus on what you should say,just say what you want to say

Kija

It's a telephonic interview which is much less traumatic I suppose.

HELP!! 15 minutes to go

stereobag

I don't have experience of this

May be make your voice more confident
take a deep breath before you talk
and keep on smiling when making the call.

Kija

We were both beaming with excitement

Well, we just had the interview - it lasted 30 minutes. Our CO Andrew was absolutely charming and made us feel very comfortable. I was a bundle of nerves and sounded like a total numptyhead OH on the other hand was brilliant and I'm so proud of him

Thank you to everyone here who has been supportive during the years, this forum has been a Godsend, we learnt so much here.

Our immigration advisor has also been excellent, with the mix up between the various offices our files went to, she's been a rock.

What an experience it has all been. Now the final waiting game

Altor

Good luck!! My fingers are crossed for you too! The anticipation and waiting is the worst part of the whole process IMO.

BEVS

OOo. After all the waiting , I go and miss this but you know why that was.

Sounds like it all went like a charm. Extremely pleased for both of you.

Kija

Thanks Bevs & Altor Still no news, I guess NZIS want us to sweat it until the very last second Have to admit this is all very exciting, who would've thought we'd even reach this stage

florabundi

Any news yet Kija?

Kija

Unfortunately not would have been nice to hear something today, it's OH's birthday tomorrow and this would have been an awesome birthday pressie!

We hear something soon, all this suspense is killing me

Kija

Into the beginning of the 2nd week, no news as yet CO said it would take 1-2 weeks but the waiting is getting the best of me. Maybe I should have another mini emotional meltdown, last time I had one we got the email inviting us to the telephonic interview the next day
