How can one remember all the details.
If owner cannot perform and represent and speak for her own business(es) in a credible manner then who can?

Surely that's why the boss is paid big bucks. And it doesn't have to be a memory test.
Boss is not given big bucks for checking and remembering the nity grities.
He gets what is remaining after paying everyone.
Also he is paid for investing.
Genuine entrepreneur would be sitting on his boat fishing while others would be earning for him.
You pay good money to good employees to remember and work out the details.

Entrepreneurship is not the same as simple investment.
However this is not even about running a business;
its about fulfilling visa requirements in order to have the privilege to run a business in UK.

I'm not convinced that bringing the x employees who can remember the business details to a visa interview is going to fly.

And it seems the guys on the fishing boats are often the ones running a car wash or chicken fryup shack on minimum wage.
The ones who end up up a creek without a paddle.
All that is gold does not glitter; Not all those who wander are lost. E&OE.

I agree with noajthan,
Entrepreneur visa holder is not ordinary normal business people, enterprenuer holder can provide each and every informations to ukvi if they asked.
Say for example we provide employee data along passport copies to ukvi which is breach of data protection but ukvi has right to demand from us.
We provide annual accounts, director loans agreement, business bank statement, HMRC docoments, companies house documents which is by law we are require to provide to uk regulators and government bodies, so we need to prepared for any question regarding figures, information, data etc from ukvi.

All these cannot be asked by companies house or HMRC but ukvi is providing us visa which is now a days high on demand,
Strong commitment, extreme faith and honesty will recognize your existence.

My guess is you can.

Questions will be related to your application.

Dear all
My interview was held 10 august at edinburgh
The interview was about 45 mints. 1st few question were very common like they asked every one.
As my business was not having any profit so asked me why im still investing here as there was no profit last year? Other then that all questions were very common. It was my 2nd application. But he didnt asked me anything about rejection of my 1st application. As everyone said before just go through the papers u've submitted. It will be fine. And thanks to everyone who attended interview before and posted about their experiences.
Good luck for everyone including me.

Are you on 50k or 200k?
What was your answer to their question as to why you are investing when there is no profit?

It would be useful to know if those being interviewed have incurred losses and also whether they were interviewed during their initial application or not?

These might work as indicators for establishing potential interviewees for future.

Hi all,

Can someone share the timeline after the interview?How long does it take to get a decision once the interview is done? It will be very helpful if you could share your timeline here. I have my interview on 5th sept and need to plan my business trips. Thanks

Don't think anyone has received approval or rejection from HO after their interview.
Basically no news or response from HO after interview

Quite strange. I think people have been giving interviews since early March. Does that mean we are again in for a long wait after the interview.

Unfortunately that's what it looks like.
Unless there are those who have not bothered posting on this forum after their approval.

dear all
thought i should share this good news with every one my t1 Ent extension has been approved after 9 months of wait, received my approval and bio-metric card in post yesterday. good news for those who are waiting for reply is that HO is replying now. i think most of the members of this broad already know my time line because amount of times i bothered them :) . would like to thank every one for their support especially Zimba, Napoleon and Celina.

my personal advise to those who are waiting for interview call, please be confident in the interview they will be asking you questions regarding your business not any one else's and mostly they ask you very simple questions. only key for successful interview is confident !

thanks every one again for their kind support and good luck


Here u go cappuccino I tried hard to find this person who got approvel after interview at his extension
