Help regarding Poland's National 'D' Visa Appointment at Mumbai Consulate! [719]
Hey people!
I had my appointment today and below are my findings from today's interview:
1) Your appointment won't be rejected even if it is from agent as long as it legit. I got my slot from an agent and I had no problem during the doc submission
2) I'd suggest reaching the location as early as possible as this embassy guys are not following any timing pattern. I had my appointment at 10.25 and I went inside at 9.50 and an applicant who had her appointment at 9.45 Went inside at 11 after my interview is done. So basically the early you reach the early you'll go inside.
3) place your documents in an exact order and only give xerox copies of all the docs except for application form and passport.
The lady at the counter will shout on you if you don't put the docs in an order
4) pay your visa consular day before and anyone can pay on your behalf so that you will be on a safe side and need not rush on the day of appointment, I saw many guys today running to the bank for this and they got delayed.
5) the visa officer is extremely friendly and talks like your friend lol.. whatever you say be honest, if you don't know anything just say that you don't know it and will definitely put efforts to learn it.
The questions asked during the interview
1) Why Poland ?
2) why this course
3) how do you know about this university
4) what do you know about Poland ( he asked me this in a different manner .. it was like what do you know about Poland which outsiders doesn't know)
5) what do you wanna after this course ( in case if you are applying for student visa just blindly say that you'll return to your home country and work here )
That's it my interview lasted for 5 mins and the officer smiled and asked me to leave for the day.
They will give you a token which you can use to check the status of your visa application.
Hope this helps the future applicants.
