Post passport interview

So, passport interview yesterday AM, a few answers given incorrectly due to nerves/ understanding accents etc.

Today did another web progress update today and the response came back as "your application is currently going through the examination process" which is the same response received as the last time and having looked at the letter inviting to the interview, was after the letter had been done.

So, should anything be read into the fact it isnt "passport issued"? Is "examination process" a universal answer you always get now? What does happen if they aren't happy with your interview answers?

Unfortunately can't phone them to check.

what kind of questions were you asked that made you nervous

friendinneed · Post by **friendinneed** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:53 pm

Just always get very nervous before any interview at all, cant sleep the night before etc etc.

The questions they asked were fairly standard ones, the interview lasted less than 20 minutes, a fair amount of questions about partner, what do they do for living, who do they work for, where's their office etc.

Only "trick" questions was "who do you have a loan with?" when there are no loans

They were however very quick fire questions and with nerves + no sleep + speaking second language + quick fire questions so trying to give quick fire answers when some things are more complex than that resulted in stumbling over answers or giving wrong answers (so for BC right day and year but month out by 1).

So queried their previous response by email and just got another email advising the passport will be issued today

The question asks who your loan is with (implied should you have one). There is only two ways of answering this question. 1) Yes, with financial entity ABC or 2) i don't have one.

It is plain straight forward and i fail to see your perception of it being a "trick" question.

Are passports not issued on an individual basis?

The implication of you having one when they know you dont (at least according to your CRA file) is a little bit of a trick question, in my book, but not a world ending one.

Hi

which email did you use to find out the outcome of interview

Thanks

DX say our passport will be delivered today, so here's waiting as delivery companies always struggle with our address.

To get the update from IPS you submit the online form https://forms.direct.gov.uk/forms/form/ ... pplication
