Answer 1

You should know at the time of the interview if they intend to approve it or not. There may be some addtional processing. If they don't intend to approve it, they are required to tell you that. If they think you aren't qualified based on your educational background, they'll tell you, or if they think your education papers aren't legitimate, you'll certainly know that as well. Sometimes a case is put on hold for addtional documentation, but if that happens, they'll tell you what more is needed.
