I don't have advice, but once the interview is over come back here to tell us how it went so that it'll be useful to the next person. Good luck!

What if somebody just moves into a new country and they don't know anybody to vouch for them? I once moved to USA as a student and didn't know anybody for a while. And being the introvert that I am, I had trouble making friends. (
