Dear ThinkPad,

Tell me a little about your experience in teh interview and the kind of question they ask.
I am living in Gaza Strip and it will be hard for me to get in the interview in time, so can I postpone the interview or even ask them to cancel it if I couldn´t attend because of the actual security situation in Gaza Strip.
And if you have any information on the chance to get an interview waiver according to my situation.

Hello Maleabs,

The interview was nothing but a normal conversation, the interviewer was so friendly, he asked about my work experience and about the catagory i applied under. so nothing to worry about just try to stay calm, you will get points where u deserve to get. be careful and try to keep the information u provide consistent, otherwise they are clever enough to know that something is not ok. BTW I attended the interview in Paris

about postponing the interview, i thing its possible if u provide a resonable reason why cant u appear for the interview . but for sure i wouldnt ask for cancellation, otherwise they would assessed your file only with the information u provided (which means in most cases refusal). if they asked for interview, it means the information u provided is NOT enough!

the links below can help u to prepare for the interview:

Dear ThikPad,
One question.

I forget to ask you how long is the time between the interview call and the interview attendance.

Do they give me enough time to apply for visitor visa to France.
