Does every1 have the interview? Is it for the job or to check if the marriage is legit
I think ours is to check our marriage is genuine. I’m not sure if my employer has had a call and I don’t know if they will ask me employment questions as this wasn’t covered in the email - the email only suggested relationship questions.

It’s better to prepare employment questions as well, like how’s your work place look like, how far is your work place and how you go there, nature of work and working hours etc

Thank you. I’m not concerned about my job etc because I’ve worked in the public sector for 3+ years and the route etc etc is ingrained in my mind lol. I think I’m more worried about the relationship questions - they can ask so many random ones that they expect a husband/wife to know but on a day to day, you wouldn’t think of it and wouldn’t expect to be questioned on it

Also equally worried about the immigration questions he may be asked as well and that’s what I’m trying to figure out. Even to prepare a little bit for those.

Around which month did your employer call u? Reason i ask is, it will be 5 working weeks for me on Wednesday. I haven't had a call in regards to employment. And I've seen a few other posts where people have got their call during the 4th week

Not all employers or sponsoring spouse is called for an interview. Many get the visas without any phonecalls!!

Hey guys, I haven't seen my husband for 1year and 8months could that be a reason his visa gets refused? Has anyone elses? Its been 65 working days since his biometrics and we have still recieved nothing. I'm abit worried that he's not going to get his Visa as we havent seen eachother in a long time.
Hey, you should contact UKVI to escalate since it has been over 60 working days. I hope you receive some good news soon.
I did contact them on thursday and she took my husbands email address and said they're going to email him🤷‍♀️

Finally had some contact but for an interview with my husband and I - strange that we’ve received an email for an interview in one weeks time... Normally they call out of the blue rather than book a time? My husbands will be by video call and mine will be by telephone at the same time

My interview will be about our relationship and his will be relationship, immigration and travel history

I’m worried as to the nature of the questions - any advice will be greatly appreciated please
Hi , could you let us know the questions they asked as out biometric was around same time as yours , just in case we have some kind of contact similar to yours and will help us prepare in advance.
Goodluck for the interview!

Hi All,

I need your help, my wife has received the following email:

Dear xxxxx ,
The processed visa application for GWF reference number - GWFxxxxxxx was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 11/25/2019 .
If a courier service was purchased from VFS Global, your processed application will be delivered to the chosen address.
If not, your documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times.
Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email.


Does this mean she has to collect her passport?

It means your wife passport is ready for collection, if you pay for it to be delivered at your home it will be delivered there and if not she needs to go and collect it at there centre where she did her biometric. Beet of luck.

On the vfs website, it states mirpur office is still closed due to structural damage, so would have to go Islamabad. Need to confirm though if that still is the case.
