I think you cant change your interview location .....as immigration cases are not processed here.

All interviews for Pakistan and middle east based applicants are conducted at Abu Dhabi .... my four friends went there for interview....

Most of the questions will be regarding your work details.

best of luck

Hey guys will it create problem if there is difference in height in generic form and height measured in IOM (in medicals) There is difference of 7 cm. Plz guide

My opinion: There shouldn't be a problem. Moreover the height that we furnish is based on rough calculations that we make while filling the application. In fact, your height is ~2-3 cm more when you measure your height in the morning (ie if you measure as soon as you wake up) - check it out!. If the height difference has been a feet or so then that would have been a concern.

Query / Questions need to be address:
1. Can I request CIC to change the interview location to Karachi / Islamabad Pakistan instead of ABU DHABI.??

Based on what i have read so far, no one has managed to do their interview in Pakistan. Many people have travelled to Abudhabi for the interview. Only the principal applicant has to travel. Having said that, every case is different, there is no harm in requesting your visa officer for an interview in pakistan.

2. Why a Pakistani Applicant called for an interview there??

No one knows. We can only guess. Probably due to logistical reasons. Probably due to security reasons.

3. Is there anyone who has been interviewed for FSWP Stream??

Many applicants have been interviewed. I think there is a thread specifically dealing with interview at Abudhabi.

4. What Type of Question do they normally ask??

There is a dedicated thread dealing with interviews where many applicants have shared their questions. Majority of the interviews were carried out in relation to verifying the applicants work experience.

Detailed answers are requested...

Answer in red

TO ALL GUYS WHO GOT INTERVIEWS, PLEASE GET YOUR GCMS NOTES SO THAT YOU CAN FIND OUT WHETHER THE VISA OFFICER HAS ANY CONCERNS.

whats going on guys at LVO continuous Interview emails ......????????????/

This thing happened in FSW 2013 as well where many applicants received interview emails. Many applicants later reported that the visa officer who conducted their interview have travelled from london to abu dhabi for this purpose. i guess they plan a batch of interviews together. In 2013, when the visa officers were away for interviews, the number of applicants receiving MR and PPR also decreased drastically.
