She will be asked if she wants the interview in English or Thai. If she opts for English she should ask that the Thai interpreter remains in the room in case the ECO says something she doesn't understand.

There is obviously some point about the application they are not sure about, or she wouldn't be interviewed. The ECO may question her several times on the same subject, asking the same question in a different way, moving on and then coming back and asking it again. They do this to see if the answers are consistent. If this happens, she should stay calm and simply repeat her previous answer.

She should try to be confident and she should tell the truth. If the answer to a question is "I don't know" then that is what she should say.

Best of luck.

You don't need a link. Its all common sense stuff. They will ask questions about how long she wishes to go for (best not to say more than is reasonable... 4 weeks or the like) , where she is going to stay, who is she going to stay with, possible they may probe how long you have known each other and even a few questions about you , where you work , your age etc. These are all basic and she SHOULD know the answers to these without thinking . Maybe what are her future plans (tough one that .. you need to think carefully).

Try to think why they are calling her to interview. Think about what part of your application has any weaknessess, is it the money ,? is it the accomodation, ? or more likely is it the reason to return.? How have you addressed each of these, have you provided all the relevant documents and then some? Don't forget she can take extra documentation with her to hand in.

You'll know very soon , do let us know too.

GOOD LUCK !!

Woooops , forgot to explain that when i say they will ask how long she is going to stay for , obviously her answer must be consistant with what she has already put in the application form. What i should have said is hope you put something reasonable like 4 weeks and not 6 months.
