As many of you know, my British husband is going through the process of getting his permanent residency here in Canada, so that he can live and work here permanently and without restrictions. It has taken quite a while, but we're finally at the final stage. And it's at this stage where they want to meet us in person. We have an appointment later this week.
Presumably, since I'm sponsoring him, they will want to make sure that our marriage is legitimate. Of course, our marriage is legitimate, but I'm nervous about the interview nonetheless. I don't do well in interviews of any kind. When I'm being questioned, I tend to stammer and to word things all wrong. Not only that, but even after 2 1/2 years of marriage, there are still things I'm finding out about my husband. (I mentioned that to my mom, and she said that after 36 years of marriage to my dad, there are still things she's finding out about him too!) What if they ask me questions I can't answer?
I'm not even sure what to expect. My only point of reference is American movies I've seen about people trying to get their "green card". But I don't know if it will be like it is in the movies. I don't know if they'll ask me questions about what kind of toothpaste he uses.
So anyway, would you all pray that everything goes well for us? And if anyone has any experience with this kind of thing, please share.
