Officer interviews are conducted by government officials to assess your relationship or clear any other concerns. Arranged marriages are very different, given the fact that these marriages are not subject to a significant courtship period, but rather, are based on the assessment of compatibility as seen by the parents of both prospective spouses. Most visa officers understand the context. In these situations, where there is a concern that the compatibility is not present (according to cultural norms), then an interview may be necessary. A case where an officer calls for an interview may not necessarily be a cause for alarm, if the applicant is prepared for the interview, and has presented accurate forms and documents to the immigration department. Interviews are also an opportunity for a person to explain the idiosyncrasies of their case.
