I would like some advice about what questions I may be asked at my interview so that I can prepare my responses.
Lawyer Answers (1): Answers from lawyers are general preliminary responses. They are not formal legal advice and cannot taken account of all your circumstances. They do not create a lawyer–client relationship.
Answer by Lisa Wulfsohn, Malvern 3144 VIC
- Be ready to talk about your home country and why you left.
- You will need to talk about why you are afraid to return to your home country.
- You may be asked for further details about the events you described in your visa application.
- The interviewer will also ask questions to see if you are telling the truth.
- It might help to write down answers to these questions before you go to the interview to help you prepare (do not bring these to the interview).
- The interviewer may bring to your attention any information they have received that is negative to your application.
- If you do not want to answer this question on the spot you can ask if you can write a letter in response.
- The interview may be nerve wracking but remember that all you need to do is tell the truth.
- The interviewer is just trying to see if what you wrote in your visa application is true. If it is there is no reason to be nervous.
