I haven't had an interview luckily and crossing fingers not to.
Anyway, I just wanted to add that the types of questions asked for inland applicants versus outland applicants can differ at times. Outland questions seem to derive from what it is like to live apart and what you do to maintain a relationship apart, and what you plan to do once you are allowed to live in the same country. On the other hand inland interviews can be more reliant on how well you know day to day activities with each other since you are living together during the wait. They may ask more questions along the line as, what did you have last night for supper?, who deals with the financial responsibilities?, what each side of the bed you sleep on?, what are their hobbies? etc.

Is that possible that the sponsors don't require an interview? I assumed that if the spouse got an interview the sponsor got one also.

It is unusual for the sponsor to be interviewed.

 

[Panda]

Are these questions for the Spouse Visa application ?

 

[mr70]

Hi

Thanks PMM, I find that interesting. One would think that CIC would automatically call both for interviews to compare stories. However, I guess if someone has sponsored before that could trigger an interview more so than a first time sponsor.

 

[missmini]

it is very rare when they call both the sponsor and the applicant especially for outland, considering that they live apart

in some cases maybe the sponsor is visiting the applicant in the moment of the interview and they decide to go together even though only the applicant was requested for the interview; to go together shows that u r together, u support each other and it's good for the relationship; on the other hand, the officer might want to interview both in separate rooms and things could get more complicated; from others' experience they will match the answers, maybe if u have the slightest difference in answer could look bad
