Hi, Everybody
Sorry I haven't updated my post. Busy-Busy!
My interview was completed via video link, which was a little odd. I was advised not to be nervous (Really?!) and that there were no trick questions and they were not there to trip me up etc. Basically, if your application is genuine and you have an ongoing and loving relationship with your Spouse/Fiance(e), there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
The ECO that makes the decision on your application, is NOT the person who interviews you. I don't even think they have much information to hand, if any. I imagine that is to make sure that there is no pre conceptions and no bias, perhaps.
Questions were confirming who I was, DOB, parents names, where I live, work etc. Questions on my Husband, his full name, DOB, does he work now, what does he intend to do in the UK and so on. They do ask about your partner's family and if they are close to hand in their native Country. Asked about our wedding and who attended.
In essence, it was very straight forward and it was easier than I thought it would be. My interview was on the Thursday and my Husband received his Passport on the following Tuesday. The Visa was stamped with Friday's date so, decisions are made pretty quickly :0)
Myself and my Darling Husband are now together, in the UK. All the worry and tears were worth it in the end.
I wish everyone, who is still going through this process, all the luck in the world.
