Is an interview the kiss of death?

Hi I notice there are very few interviews conducted in Manila.

They will try to avoid interviews in most cases, but an interview request does not mean it is a bad thing.

They may want to know about the ending of her preivious relationship, or of course it could be something else that has come up, and its anyone guess as to what it is.

Unless there are issues which cause them to question the relationship, and as long as you have truthful and genuine answers to their question, I would hardly call it a kiss of death.

Ahh then the question is probably about the fact that she's married already.

Was one of the affadavits from her husband?

If not, it would help a lot if he would write something confirming that they're separated with no intent to reunite.

I doubt the issue is your previous marriage since they only asked for info about her last relationship. Plus you ave proof of divorce, which is more definitive than a separation. Though the IO knows that divorce isn't allowed in the Philippines, they may just want to be sure that the marriage is over with and she has completely moved on.

If she goes in and answers honestly, and brings any proof she can manage, the interview should just ease fears and not be a kiss of death for the PR app.

My partner had an interview with London, she is also like your partner married but separated (6 years now). The interview went well, but they asked her to provide a legally drawn separation agreement instead of the one previously provided which was not prepared by a solicitor. From the stance of the IOs it was, 'well, what is to stop you coming to Canada, then resuming relations with your husband and sponsoring him'?

Again, her interview went well, the IOs were fine with the fact that for some applicants divorce, whether culturally or otherwise, is simply not an option.

All docs submitted post interview, just waiting for the PPR now. Good luck to you guys.
