One such story is about an applicant who was asked very personal and invasive questions that seemed unnecessary for the green card interview. The interviewer also had a very accusatory tone. In addition, there are cases where the waiting area for the interview was overcrowded and chaotic, which added to the applicant's anxiety even before the interview started. There have been instances where the interviewer seemed to be in a bad mood and took it out on the applicant by being overly critical of their answers.
A common horror story is that during the interview, the power went out suddenly and all the electronic records became inaccessible. The interview had to be paused indefinitely. And some applicants have faced situations where the interviewer was constantly looking at their watch and seemed uninterested in what the applicant was saying, which made the applicant very nervous.
One horror story is when the applicant's documents got misplaced right before the interview. They were asked for a crucial form that was lost in the system. The applicant was made to wait for hours while the officers tried to find it. Another is when the interviewer was very rude and kept interrupting the applicant, making it hard for them to answer questions clearly.
A common horror story is about a green card marriage that was arranged just for immigration purposes. The two people didn't really know each other well. As time went on, they had to live together to prove the authenticity of their marriage to immigration. But they had completely different lifestyles. The citizen liked a quiet life, while the immigrant was always partying. This led to constant arguments and a very unhappy situation. The stress of keeping up the facade for immigration made it even worse, and in the end, they both regretted getting into the marriage.
One horror story is about the extremely long waiting times. People can wait for years, sometimes over a decade, stuck in a limbo of uncertainty. They have to constantly renew their visas, deal with piles of paperwork, and face the fear of being rejected at any stage.
Sure. There was a situation where a sponsor promised everything to the person they were sponsoring. But once the sponsored individual arrived, the sponsor completely ignored them. They didn't help with housing as promised, and the sponsored person had to struggle on the streets for a while. It was a nightmare as they were in a new country with no support system.
I had an interview where the waiting area was freezing cold and there was no one to greet me for over an hour past my appointment time. When the interview finally started, the interviewer seemed completely disinterested, just looking at their phone half the time and giving one - word answers to my well - thought - out responses.
Sure. One of my worst interview horror stories was when I arrived at the interview location on time, but the interviewer made me wait for two hours without any apology or explanation. By the time the interview started, I was already frustrated and it affected my performance.
One horror interview story I heard was about a candidate who entered a very dimly lit interview room. The interviewers were sitting in the shadows and barely spoke. They just stared at the candidate in silence for minutes, which made the candidate extremely uncomfortable. It was like they were trying to intimidate him on purpose.
One horror story is when a teacher was asked really inappropriate questions during an interview. The interviewer started asking about the teacher's personal relationships instead of focusing on teaching skills. It made the teacher feel extremely uncomfortable and violated.
Well, I knew someone who went for an interview at a very posh company. They made her wait for two hours before the interview started. Then, during the interview, the panel of interviewers were all very cold and seemed uninterested in what she was saying. They hardly asked any follow - up questions and she left feeling really demoralized.
Well, there was a case where a job applicant thought the interview was a casual event. So, he showed up in flip - flops and a tank top. The interviewers were shocked as it was for a corporate job. Also, a friend of mine had an interview where the interviewer kept interrupting her and not really listening to what she had to say. It made her feel so unimportant and she didn't get the job.
