I want to thank you for all the advise given on this forum. We went to the interview on Thursday in Montreal and visa was issued. It took us more than 4 hours mainly because there were so many people (for other visas). Other than that it was a pleasent experience. From the lady who accepted our forms to the Consulate officer.
We were nervous since we are from Sri Lanka and had my Daughter in my wife's Passport. Although they said it was not advisable it was not a problem.
Advise for all those who are going for interviews and showing them what ever the qualification. Please do a bit of reaserch of your school. Most of the questions are from the School. They just want to verify that you are genuine. They asked my wife what were the School Colors and what house (british system) she belonged to.
They look at your body language(in the interview), keep good eye contact with your officer. They are trained for all these to find out whether you are genuine.
The interview lasted only 5 mins. He said visa will be in mail.
Make sure your documents are in order so that you can give them to the person who accepts them when they ask for it one by one(assuming they have the same system everywhere). You would be in for a rude shock if they are not. The person who accepts the docs will say it will be denied even before you face the Consulate officer.
MEDICAL IS ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT. TAKE FIVE TEN MINS TO GO THROUGH YOUR DOCS AND IF POSSIBLE ASK SOME ONE TO FIRE FEW QUESTIONS AT YOU BEFORE YOU GO.
PLEASE NOTE YOU MAY NOT GET THESE QUESTIONS (NO GUARANTEE). THESE WERE SOME ASKED FROM MY WIFE.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO GO TO US ?.
Where are you going to reside ?
Do you have relatives ? where ?
Have you been to USA ? Why ? when ?.
Have you been in Trouble with Police ?
What are your School Colors ? Was it is Private School, Were your parents able to afford to send you to that School etc.
GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP.
