it is very important to be very prepared and your papers arranged in the right way so you dont take a long time searching
for the papers when the officer asks for them.
i started my interview @ 2:00 PM ... i gave the lady in the window my appointment letter she smiled and said
" do u have all of your papers prepared ? do you have the money
?"...
"yes" i replied... she gave me a paper to give to the cashier (for 3 persons it was 2265 $)
then i went to Cashier i paid the money and get back to the lady ...
she told me that she will take my papers one by one... and then she asked me "What is your job in Saudia Arabia?"
i said "Software Developer"..
then she asked more about my job description and what is the current project i'm working in.
and what are my tasks in this project ...
really i was shocked of the level of details she went to.
and then she started to take papers one by...
after one hour and 10 min. she asked me to wait until she call me back ...
we waited about 30 min.
then she called us and asked us to go to the officer in window 9
it was an older lady ...
she first told me that i did a greate job in getting all the papers and that i was so organized
then she told us that we will do the oath... so she requested to raise our right hands ...
"I swear that all the information we provided were true" she said...
we replied "We swear" then she asked us to sign a paper that we did the oath...
and then she said congratulations ... you got the visa
then the first lady give me 3 tickets with "Passport Collect" written on each ..
and she told me to come after 2 or 3 weeks to get our passports with the visa stamped.
one last thing....
i really really like this forums... it helped me alot...
Thanks for you all...
and i'm ready to answer all of your questions about my CP...
