Interview Experience
...so we get into a taxi and head to the embassy...it is about 05:45am and we get to the embassy at about 5 for 6:00am. I notice a number of people already queuing and I am wondering if they pitched tent there over night. Anyway I pay the cab driver and join the queue, men in their own queue and women in their own. Because we have a baby, we were moved to the front of the queue (God at work) and at exactly 6am the gate opens. The security guards do their 'thing' and we head to a reception where they check your passport and appointment letter. Again at this point we are placed at the front of the queue because of the baby we have. We go through a second gate and again under security check. At this point anything electronic is left behind including CDs, DVDs e.t.c. We then head to the main reception point inside the embassy office and present our passport and appointment letter and we a given ticket number. Thirty minutes later we am called to counter 5 and we hand in all the documents requested for and are given back our old pictures and and invoice. I head to the counter and pay the visa fees and return the receipt to counter 5. Then the waiting begins...after about an hour we are called at Window 8, they take our finger prints and we are asked to wait for the interview. Ten minutes later we are called to counter 10, I get to counter 10 and my daughter wanted to touch the microphone and the oldish lady warned me not to allow my daughter touch the microphone. So I hand my daughter back to my wife and was carrying my daughter.
CO: Asks my wife and I to raise our right hands and repeat after her....do you blah blah
Wife & I: we do
CO: What did you do after high school?
Me: Went to University
CO: What did you study?
Me: Blah blah

Me: blah blah
CO: Do you have any other children?
