Interview invitation from Shanghai Branch

[nz-anxious]

Hi All,

Finally, after almost 12 months of waiting, we are invited to attend a phone interview under SMC category.

We are feeling nervous now.

We would appreciate if any of you could kindly share with us the Interview questions, model answers if any, how to prepare to score well in the interview so that a favourable decision will be made by INZ, Shanghai.

Looking forward to your kind assistance, in particular, those of you whom had been interviewed by INZ, Shanghai.

Who is your Case Officer?

[nz-anxious]

Beetle,

Mind to share with us your answers to the questionnaire?

We are trying to prepare for the interview - your sample answers (although we know they may not be totally relevant to us - but we need a guide or reference) will be of great help.

Our CO Frances Wu and yours ?

[Beetle]

My Case Officer (she) is Stephanie Gong. I will PM you some answers.

[nz-anxious]

Bettle,

Thank you so much. Very useful guides to me.

From now till early Dec 2010, please feel free to PM us more tips that you consider useful to 'score' in the interview. Much appreciate that.

Keep in touch.

When do you plan to go to NZ?

[Beetle]

Hi,

I'm planing to move to Auckland in mid January.
Wish you all the best for the interview, and I'm sure it will be a walk in the park.

Let's keep in touch.

dear beetle and nz-anxious,

I am very interested to hear from both of you, about your experience.
my visa officer is Stephanie Gong (same as beetle) and the interview schedule will be on 16 Dec 2010...

- what question will be asked to me, as principal applicant ?
- what question will be asked to OH ?

as I read from beetle's other post, that you got the WTR Visa... would you mind give some advice regarding your interview ?

thank you, guys
