Interviewed today in Sydney!
Super efficient process, appointment was 8am, finished up at 9am.
Questions we (husband and I) were asked:
- have you been to the USA?
Yes
- have you ever overstayed a US visa?
No
- I’ll keep your passports here and when your medical results arrive we’ll send them back to you and you can go live in the US, how does that sound?
Great!
We saw/heard another couple get grilled on what they do for work etc but they were eventually let through too. I think the interviewer was just having a bit of fun with them because they were giving elaborate answers. People were literally giggling listening to their conversation.
Saw most others (3 or 4 people) have the same experience as us, in and out very quickly and at most were asked when they graduated or what they did for work.
Saw one guy rejected unfortunately because he was not born in Australia and therefore his chargability was wrong and he was never eligible for Oceania anyway! Poor bugger, the person who checked his documents basically said he was ineligible but for some reason he didn’t get the hint to not go pay the fee and progress to the interview. Saw him part with his cash only to go to the interview window and be told he’d been rejected.
We celebrated our success with mimosas afterwards. Good luck everyone!
