Hi Sriv/mywork19,

My interview is scheduled on Friday the 13th :S
Do share your experiences of interviews. They have asked for the NINo document only. Was it all you guys has to produce or anything more ? or less?

Thanks

Hi fnabeel,

I have been asked the same document (NINO). I was asked to send an email confirmation for the interview that's it. They wont accept any documents there. I was asked to attend my interview in Leeds vfs centre. Don't know how the interview will be ?

Hi Guys,

I have given my interview today. Below are the set of questions asked to me. There are asking from a standard template.

- Name, Address, Current Visa status
- Current employment status
- Education
- Is your work related to your education
- Current job details, whether you self employed or employed, how many hours do you work in a week, what days do you work, Ur job role, who is your accountant, how much do you pay to him, what details do you share with him, business premises rent, have you registered your business with companies house, form how long are you employed, work experience,
- Current annual income, business office location, monthly expenses for business, no of employees
- last 12 months income

At the end I asked about why am I called for interview as I have got very straight case with all documents. Interviewer said that "It is a random call to people and no need to worry".

I asked about when can I expect the response and Interviewer said that It will take few weeks and I will receive a letter from HO.

Hi Sriv,

Thanks for sharing the questions, I do believe now that all the questions are pretty much standard. My interview is scheduled day after tomorrow, on Friday.

Can you please tell me if they are looking for approximate numbers, in terms of annual salary, company profit, company expense and tax or over all. All of us do submit the management accounts, in case of self employed, so they should have the exact figures.

Hi All,

I have attended my interview today in VFS office london, it was for 18 to 20 minutes. Pretty much same questions as above, couple of other questions what they asked me as below.

Company annual income/turnover
Current client and previous client
All other questions are same as others.

@fnabeel
If we answer fast they will ask you to repeat or slow down but they never ask you to give exact income/expenses/tax details... you can give close figures for income/expenses/business premise rent etc.
They said it will couple of weeks to process the application, lets hope for the best.

@ om.feb.26 and Sriv
Thank you very much for om.feb.26 and Sriv for quick updates and kind & positive words.

I wish you all the very best

Hello fellows,

I am wondering, how much time does UKVI takes to make a decision on an application.

I applied on the 28th of January and had an interview on 13th of March. Its been 2 weeks today and no news. I did call in the contact centre today, the only status they can see is "in progress", as in the case officer has not taken a decision on the application as yet.

Can any of you here please share your experience? and time scales if possibel

thanks.
