reintroduction of interviews for spouse visa's?

[Terpe]

Just my personal opinion...
I feel that interviews are less costly, less resource intensive and quicker.
I also feel that face to face provides the interviewer with better security of confidence in the couples genuineness.

Did you ever hear of a job application that didn't involve an interview?
It's very easy to write something on paper. May not be true at all.

That's my feeling anyway.

I actually would prefer being interviewed rather than the current system. Less hassle for me in my opinion. It makes them see who the genuine couples or applicants are. Plus, they can easily identify who can speak English and who cannot. I would have wanted the way US Embassy does in the Philippines, interviewing everyone, whether it's for visit visa, working visa, fiance(e) or spouse visa (and even the sponsor can come to the interview with the partner). Result can be given right away. I remember when I was interviewed for a working visa, sponsored by my previous company, the American consul was talking to me in Tagalog! But I was talking to him in English.
