Hi guys,

Whoever has applied for extension..please let us know what documents you guys are submitting so it will be helpful for others but would not harm your application....Come on guys...Please share your experiences about extension.

Now a lot of people have applied for extension but they are just asking their queries but not helping others by easing thier way for extension.

Please update...thanks in anticipation !

We got entrepreneur visa back in 2012 as a team. We have already sent our application for extension. Just after 2 days We Both received a letter from home office that "Normally WE(home office) decide the case within 8 weeks but this is not going to be possible in your case due to some exceptionally complex issues.
In start of march My partner received an email to advise he need to attend an interview on 12 march. He been there and they asked me around 5 to 10 questions like previous immigration history, gross profit and how did you know your team member? That's all.

Now Thing is, I haven't got any letter/email for interview. Nothing at all. Is it normal practice to interview only one team member or am I in some kind of trouble?
A team application goes to a same case officer or is there any possibility that different people handling our cases?
What is the time scale of home office to decide an application after interview?
Just to mention we both submitted extension application together along with our dependents.

Your quick response/replies will be highly appreciated

Many Thanks

Abdullah

My partner did a masters degree from a well know univesity. We submitted our extension together. He was also invited for interview and being asked questions about business.

So i guess its not only applicants with english courses to go through interview.

Regards

Abdullah
Hi Abdullah,

Kindly stop soliciting contacts from random strangers - they don't know who you are or what you really want and you don't know who they are.
