Attended Interview Last Week

Post by asfan123 » Mon Oct 20, 2014 1:05 am

Applied: 19/08/2014
Acknowledgment: 28/08/2014
Biometrics: 03/09/2014
Interview Date: 15/10/2014
Visa: Still Waiting

I applied last December as a team and was refused in Feb. My team member got an appeal right and i was not given because i had valid visa at that time. Applied fresh application (mentioned above dates) as a team where my team mate is still on appeal. Just sharing my interview experience.

It was very simple, no tricky questions. Important thing is your confidence and knowledge of your submitted application, business plan and your business activities.

Questions asked:

At start the interviewer told me that it will be altogether 39 Questions. Some of these questions will be from your case worker.

1- Your name and UK qualifications and academic Institutions name
2- Have you done market research and what is its importance
3- do you have employees
4- have you made investment
5- where are your funds
6- why funds overseas
7- do you have team member
8- how do you know your team member
9- before starting your business how you coupe with your living expenses
10- do you work now
11- Do you have any work experience
12- what was your role and responsibilities in your work experience
13- what services do you offer
14- who are your competitors
15- how many competitors in your area
16- why customers will hire your services other then your competitors
17- why you have not done any investment yet
18- who made business plan for you
19- who made website for you
20- how much is your revenue per month from your business
21- how much you charge your clients
22- what are your live advertisements
23- how many responses from live advertisements
24- do you have office
25- where your business meetings take place
26- what is your investment (funds) source
27- what return you pay to them for funds (investment capital)
28- What services your team member provides in the business
29- your business registered any where
30- Is your business registered for taxation with HM Revenue
31- Do you have any business insurance
31- What is liability insurance for
32- What is the name of foreign bank where your funds are held
and other were general simple questions such as how much is your total fund requirement, your full name etc

The interview was lasted for 52 Minutes

These were the major questions asked. The interview was very simple and straight forward, no tricky questions. Very friendly environment. I think they try to assess your confidence and communication skills.. So friends be confident.
Now waiting and hopefully, Inshallah, soon will receive positive results...

Any idea how long it take after interview to get their decision.

Hi asfan
Thanks for updating us.
My interview is tomorrow and im bit nervous. ...
What questions were from your case worker did they mentioned before asking?

If your funds are from third party did they questioned you like, what is the relationship between you and sponsor? How do you return the money and time duration?

Did you register your website your self? And did ask any particular question about advertising before 11th july?
Thank you very much

HI PKBD,

The interviewer told me at start of interview that there will be altogether 39 questions, this including case worker questions and that will be asked in the end. He just kept asking me questions and then in the end he told me that now these are the case worker questions. Just asked one question that who made this business plan for you. Then he said that's it and other questions are almost same that you have already answered.

My funds are overseas but in our personal joint account.

Web site: who made it for you? how you know him? how much you paid for it?

i went for interview last week and was asked exactly the same questions as mentioned above .. it was very simple and straight forward but i would like to tell you that i submitted a very comprehensive and concise business plan... it all depend's on your application, how much supporting documents you have attached with your application. u should now better about your business plan, your application, your clients, your services to them, your meetings with them, prices you charge and invoices and if you have business partner then your answers muct tally with each other, if you both are interviewed at same time
