Secondary interview
- Thread starter judend
- Start date
please house what it the essence of secondary interview after first interview? Any prospect in secondary interview?
What was the reason for the second interview that was given? What did the CO say? Are you doing a CP or AOS? What are your circumstances, and what happened during the first interview that could have caused a second interview? Were you handed any note/documents paper? When is your second interview scheduled? Do you have to provide any more information?
After the first interview,we were issued a paper requesting us to come back for a secondary interview with ALL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN TOGETHER THROUGHOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP.
We came with these photographs but CO demanded that we must come for another interview with the above pictures.
What other documents should we go with ?
And why did the CO refused to look at these picture on the first day?
Please we need your advice.

The validity of your marriage is being questioned by the CO. Did you marry after the notification informing you of initial selection? If you did, then your marriage may be regarded as a “pop-up” marriage; that is a marriage for the purposes of attaining an immigration visa, and not a bona fide marriage.
What other documents should we go with ?
That’s a question only you can really answer, because only you know what you have available, but I can give you some suggestions;
• Copies of Joint Bank account statements (pre-dating selection hopefully)
• Letters addressed to your spouse with the address that you both live at, preferably with dates that pre-date the notification of selection to prove you were genuinely living together.
• Utility bills, etc. in your spouse’s names
• A copy of the Mortgage/Lease/Title Deed which may be in joint names (and preferably pre-dates entry/selection of the DVL.)
Basically anything that can aid you in proving that you have a subsisting relationship and a real marriage, not a sham marriage of convenience.
And why did the CO refused to look at these picture on the first day?
Only the CO and you know this, I can only guess that the CO was suspicious of the marriage from the very beginning and wants an interview dedicated to investigating the authenticity of your marriage, showing the photographs would be superfluous because the CO's mind was already made up. Make sure you bring those photographs to the second interview too, and any photographs your friend(s) might have that are relevant.

If you have pictures of your marriage make sure you take all of them to the interview and make sure you and ur wife can recognise most of the people in the pictures and also be prepared to be interviewed separately.
The CO can ask you questions such as how you met, when??, how did u exchange numbers, when did u meet after that initial date, howw long you dated before marrying and where you were living at that time, how did u propose to ur wife, where were you at that time,
.
What made u decide on ur wedding venue, where did u go for your honeymoon, how long was the honeymoon, did u take any pictures on the honeymoon??, are you living together now, who pays the bills, how much is ur monthly rent(if ur renting), what color are the inside walls of ur house. He can even ask if you had dinner together the previous nite and what you had for dinner.
.
So just make sure you and your spouse give more or less the same answers and you should be fine. You are basically trying to prove the CO that ur marriage is genuine.
Goodluck!!

@slash_dot,well said.
We have successfully gone for the secondary interview; we were interviewed separately and our answers were same. At the end of the interview, the interviewer said we'll be contacted later but it going to 2-weeks now we have not heard from them, please should we contact them via email or keep waiting for their call? Our passports were returned back to us. PLEASE ADVICE!!!
