HI Sam,

Can you please share your interview experience as it help the people who are in the same boat.
Does they are asking about current SE or initial and extension SE as well?

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm in the same situation now. Received interview notification from UKVI yesterday. I did totally miss to file my SA from 2012 and did them all just a week before applying for ILR. But, I haven't amended my tax and have paid tax for whatever earnings I claimed for me extension. In fact, I had overpaid and got a refund few months ago. So, I am really unable to guess what it could be that has caused the need for an interview.

I did show earnings as ltd company director and PAYE. I wonder if that has landed me in the trouble!
I do have some proof of the work I did for my client and do have the necessary qualification.

My quick question is - if in case my ILR gets refused, will I be able to get Tier 2 given my employer agrees? Just worried if the ILR refusal will cause Tier 2 refusal too.

when did you apply for your ILR, could you share your timeline

My timelines are:

20 May 2016 applied for ILR.
Biometric done in 6 weeks time.

Apr 2013 applied for extension
Apr 2011 switched from psw to Tier 1.

Hi Kavya

Is your sa updated in hmrc records? . Did u show dividends + paye for your ilr application or hsmp ext?
I guess you can switch to tier 2 if anything goes wrong. tbh if u paid all taxes and if there is no tax liability even if u didnt submit sa you can fight ur case. If you had amendments then it would have been worse.its shocking they sent u this letter now when its almost 6 months since you posted your application.

Hi Jackk,

Thanks for the link, I will read it in a bit.

Yes, I showed both PAYE + dividends for both extn and ILR.
Yes! my HMRC records are amended and I did check it few months ago. Now that I've received this, I am going to call HMRC tomo and check again.

Like you have mentioned I am hanging on the hopes that I didn't have any tax amendments. I am now trying to gather evidences of my meeting with my client in the past. I have the signed off agreements & work sign off with me. But, I wonder if they will ask my work itself, which I don't have now (which is a software product) Also, I don't any emails from my client this is what I'm worried about now!

Yes, it's absolutely shocking to me that I have got interview request because I was so confident on my application because all my taxes are up to date.

Please go thru older posts on here about what questions they've asked and probably u might find some answers that you can relate to your situation.Communication could be of any sort. Depends on the work u've done.
when is the interview?

Jackk,

I'm worried only after reading the questions asked lol I did see that not all of them have asked emails.
I haven't received the interview date yet.
