Partner Visa Interview

Partner Visa processing can take 10 – 14 months, depending on various factors. One of many questions I receive from my clients are “What if they call me in for an interview?”.

It may seem stressful but if you are in a genuine relationship with your partner and you have a good knowledge about each other, you should not have to worry too much. From experience, some people may struggle with dates and details and tend to get mind blocks when put on the spot. That’s the reason why being prepared and ready for the interview is a good idea.

The interview usually goes for 15 – 30 minutes.Below are examples of some of the questions the interviewer may ask.
