Spouse Visa - Would I get a call from Home Office?

Post by barokut » Sun Jan 27, 2019 1:13 am

Hi,

I'll cut to the chase. :)

• I (a British Born Sponsor for my Bangladeshi Wife) made a Spousal Visa application this month.
• I Work in xxxxxx (it’s a known renowned established restaurant like xxxx) as a Chef.
• Restaurant made over £1 million turnover last year March 2018.
• My salaried wage exceeds a grand over £18,600 per annum and I get paid weekly into my account.


Just concerned if the Home Office may call me and my employer about my job. My employer is quite unreliable and he doesn’t always pick up calls especially from unknown numbers.

I raise this question because I’ve come across some people both online and in real life stating that they have received calls from Home Office because their job roles are restaurant based.

Since mine is not a small restaurant as described in the above bullet points, do you think Home Office might still call us?

I look forward to hearing from everyone.

Regards,

vinny

Answered?

It’s difficult to predict who they may call.

Oh ok. But what was your restaurant's turnover? Do you have any idea? Like was it above £1 million?

What if you work in a law firm? Found on companieshouse website, has its own website, found on social media etc.

What are the chances then?

When I applied for my wife's first visa in 2016, neither of us or employer received a call.

I work in a global insurance company.

From what I gathered at the time, they are more likely to call smaller employers because they may not be a genuine company etc although I wouldn't rule out them to not calling a larger company.
