Рассказываю:
Офицер позвонил минута в минуту. Первым делом спросил как дела, потом задал несколько Identity questions:
- имя, фамилия
- дата рождения
- название моей квалификации по диплому
- название университета
- где я работал в 2008 году.
Слышимость была хорошая, я даже слышал как он печатает на клавиатуре. Не стоит бояться длинных пауз, т.к. ему нужно успевать записывать что вы там говорите. Когда нужно офицер сам попросит поподробней рассказать, когда нужно сам прервет.
Потом начал по списку (ниже приведен). Подобный список есть в ОЧЗВ, но я еще раз приведу.
Сначала со мной общался пол часа, потом 10 минут с женой. Задавал вопросы ей только про возможность трудоустройства. Потом со мной минут 10-15. Во второй части спрашивал про мои linkages с Новой Зеландией, про стоимость жизни, долгосрочные планы и т.д.
Я подготовился хорошо, как советовали на буржуйском форуме каждый ответ старался подтверждать конуретными цифрами. Для этого изготовил несколько табличек
- с ценами,
- с плюсами и минусами трех городов (транспорт, цены на жилье, климат, вакансии, шопинг, спорт фасилитис ...)
- таблицу по количеству вакансий за разные периоды
Все это есть на сайте статистики НЗ и сайты city council городов.
Мы официально не расписаны с женой, подтверждали отношения фотками, ксероксами, прочее что в голову приходило. Ни единого вопроса про relationships evidence не было. Наверное помогли досконально расписанное cover letter (7 листов) и statutory declarations (4 листа), ну, и остальные почти 3 кг доков). (могу выложить список доков с коментариями по моему делу, если кому нужно)
В конце интервью сказал что определенно не собирается отклонить мое дело, рассказал про возможные исходы и пообещал в течении недели выдать решение.
