I am from ND India. I do not have any past Immigration history only visit visas to UK. The questions were more specific and directly related to the business plan/funding/my experience/etc. I was told that the second interview was the last part of the process.

I personally feel that genuine entrepreneur should have no reasons to worry.

That is such a silly question.

Without knowing anything about your business, no one can comment on your financial forecast.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.

@abuhf

Hi there

You seem to be so particular about everything.please don't worry too much or you will fumble during the 2nd interview.

If You keep worrying about everything and each and every post and you are comparing their cases with urs. Each and every case is different and please don't keep thinking that HO might have done something in other case so they are likely to do same thing in ur case. Remove this from ur brain.

Prepare and understand about ur business plan and you will be fine.

Hi Mehfuz and Marcnath,

Thank you for support.

I made a small type error on forecast as I mentioned the balance carried forward as over 51k which is not necessary to mention,

What shall I tell them if they ask ??

@abuhf

If You have really made a typing error then there is jo harm in accepting the mistake but tell them only when they ask you.

HO would not reject the application just because of typing error.

Dear All,

First of all thank you for continued support.

I have done with my second round of interview.

The Interviewer asked me about how I will be spending £200000 , I gave the breakdown and had a balance of around 25K, so I said I will use this extra funds as a back up and spend more on other extra business activities like marketing if necessary, is it ok ??

There is no guidance on the interview answers. That is silly. Your answers depends on your circumstances that is the whole point of being interviewed in the first place. We cannot tell you what is a good or bad answer. Wait to hear back :!: :!: :!:

Yes, it is ok if that is the truth. If it is not, it is not ok.

Anyway, an ok answer does not mean that you will get your visa. As Zimba pointed out, the decision is never made on one specific question or its answer.

In general, a genuine entrepreneur should have no reason to be concerned. You should know your business and answer accordingly.

Going by your questions on this forum, it looks like your only intention of applying for the visa is to somehow get an entry into UK and not as much to further your business. You don't seem confident about your own answers. All of those are not very good positive signs for a successful application.
