In my opinion, there shouldn't be any problem in choosing interview venue of your own choice.

Regarding interview questions, you need to state the true facts and try to ensure nothing contradicts with the information already given through your application.

Wish you all luck.

Hi

I am 23/07/2014 applicant and just received email from LVO regarding interview call. They called me for interview on 26/03/2015 in Abu Dhabi. Can anyone explain, what they will ask in interview. They have asked for previous employment contract reference letters. I have got reference letter for all jobs but got contract copy of my previous job only. Will it be a problem for me now?

I was not working since last year and now going to start new job in Saudi Arab from feb, Can I ask them to change my interview venue to Saudi or Islamabad Pakistan which suites me.

Can anyone advise?

I suggest you ask for GCMS notes.... but what i feel is your interview will most probably about your job description and employers

Can you share your timeline?

When did they ask you for letters from employers?
Who is the Visa officer who send the email, the three alphabet signature at the end?

Thanks
Email is from LVO and they did not ask for documents earlier. In interview email, they provide list of documents to bring, including, updated forms, passports, bank statements and contracts.

in this case, gather all the documents u have related to your all employers,
Business cards, belonging to you, your boss, contract copy, promotion letter, salary slip etc. as many as possible, it will definitely be convincing.
I am not sure, you need to confirm from seniors, but I think venue of interview is not easy to change, as they visit Abu Dhabi specially for interviews during these months.

for the Visa officer, at the end of the email,you could see the signature, a 3 alphabet code , like BWJ, VCM etc. thats the visa officer. :)

I moved to Pakistan from UK in feb last year, so they already knew about it.
I recently updated them regarding my new born baby and paid her fee. They did not ask for updated forms.
Can anyone explain, how to get GCMS notes?

Interview questions are mostly related to your job profile/duties. No need to worry as more than 95% applicant clear their interview.

You have to travel to Abu Dhabi to attend the interview.

Hi...Can anyone let me know the steps involved in paying RPRF fee online using CC on CIC's website.
It says no of applications, shld we select based on number of applicants in the application or single? and where do we enter application number/UCI number after entering CC details? Is printer required after submitting the payment or can we save the receipt and print it later?

Thanks

You have to pay the fees based on how many adults are there in the application. I paid it a while ago. there is an option to input the uci number. I suggest you use google chrome as there is an option in chrome to save as pdf. Then you can print it later and fill in remaining details and send the receipt as email and/or post.
