Topic: interview issues
Posted: 19 Apr 2010 at 4:04pm
hey, i went to my wife's immigration interview on april 12 in new delhi. the lady who gave the interview said the visa will be denied. anyone going to new delhi for an interview please understand that the sponsor going to the interview plays no part at all in helping or hurting your case. my wife was taken in for her interview and asked questions for two hours. in that time lots of people were in and out, usually within twenty five minutes (there were maybe 8 interview rooms). i asked about four people, who had their sponsor with them, how the interview went and they didn't get the visa (add my wife to make five). two others were approved. one person without the sponsor present got approved and two without sponsor were denied (3/9 people asked were approved april 12 2010 new delhi between 8:45am and 10:45am). after my wife was interviewed i was interviewed for about half an hour. then we were both interviewed together for like forty five minutes. also understand the people giving the interview look at you as basically guilty until you prove your innocence. i will give the examples of the denial which were told to us:
1. our marriage was not traditional, as it was out of love not arranged 2. my wife does not wear make up or jewelry 3. i am younger than my brother and he isn't married 4. we had no engagement party (my wife, her friend, my brother and i went to the taj mahal and a few temples for celebration) 5. our marriage ceremony was too small, we must be hiding something (my mom and grandfather came, most of my family had work and business to run, most of my wife's family were against our relationship) 6. if we weren't hiding something we would have waited until my family had vacation time (not sure why the lady was set on us hiding something but i barley managed to get my mom to come and i booked time off months early, is it more important that my other family members are at my wedding or me?) 7. i can't speak punjabi (i can, this lady had the weirdest accent) 8. age (i was 22 and my wife was 18 at the time of our mariage). hearing these made me angry and i started arguing with the lady conducting the interview. suggestion to everyone else don't lose your temper no matter what.
one very important thing i would like everyone to remember at any canadian government building, the charter of rights makes it mandatory that if you want to speak in english or french, you can not be denied the opportunity to speak in english or french. this was a big problem when i was interviewed. the lady asked if i speak in punjabi and i said i speak fine punjabi but i want to speak in english. she said no we will speak in punjabi. the lady had an unusual accent which was hard to understand (accents vary by region like english in canada, southern usa, or england). this made my replies to her questions make me sound really dumb. i am certain it compromised the outcome.
only after speaking to my consultant and lawyer after the interview did i realize my rights were stripped.
for my case i have had my lawyer contact the high commission in new delhi to see why this happened and what they will do about it. i also contacted my mp to let him know of the violation and he is looking into the matter while the immigration minister jason kenney hasn't replied to me. the lady who gave the interview was not an officer she was just someone in place to ask questions and advise the officer what course should be taken. i checked the cic website and it says decision made, so things don't look good. we are waiting for the letter or a response from new delhi.
this may not be the case for others, but know your rights, the person conducting the interview may be intimidating and they will push buttons, but there are limits to what they can say and do so you need to be informed before going in. if you want to know whats asked in the interview, it depends on how detailed your case is and where your interview is taking place. more information will mean more questions.
the website jessie gill put up
http://www.ece.ualberta.ca/~jgill/C_I_I_Q/C_I_I_Q.html is probably a good page to practice with you spouse. these are general questions and there will be some specific to your case not on this list (i practiced with my wife and she said a lot of these were asked but most are things that should be known anyway).
i hope everyone elses cases go well.
good luck and thanks for reading.
