Interview call for Tier 1 (Entrepreneur Visa) for 245DD(h)

Post by samikhan786 » Sun Aug 25, 2013 9:34 pm

Hi,
I received call for interview which is scheduled on 4 sept 2013. They are saying we want to assess your application against paragraph 245DD(h).

I checked this paragraph at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/polic ... es/part6a/

It says I need to show possession of money. My question is:

1). Are they going to ask me only questions related to that or they will ask me other questions too. Like business insurance, business proposal or other stuff.
I applied as Sales & Marketing Director in Marketing Consultation Business.

Please let me know, if anyone has experience of it. Interview date is near. So please give me your suggestions. I don't have business insurance, is it necessary?

Thanks
Sami

In 45 minute interview they definitly ask you other questions but money questions would be central.

Prepare ur long interview. Make sure u know all dates of your previous immigration dates etc. u should know enough abt ur business how it works and where u will invest ur money. Business plan is not necessary to take.
Invoice your friend for the services u provided to him with documents attached and u received money from him.

If you carefully see in the interview invitation letter it is written that you should not bring any documents with you on the interview day!!!
