Post by suvalike » Wed May 11, 2016 11:33 am

Hi folks,

Today i got the interview invitation letter regarding my Tier 1 Entrepreneur extension application.
In the letter it says This is necessary to interview you in connection with your application.Further details , including date,time and location of your interview will follow,

Please guys advise....

what type of questions they are going to ask me ?

How should i prepare myself....what other docs should i carry with me...

In my initial application i got the visa without interview...........So it will be my first experience
I am a bit nervous.....

What documents did you send with your application and when did you post your application.
What is your business activity.

You have to attend the interview to clarify the issues HO might have specifically with YOUR application and circumstances. I suggest to be prepared to defend and clarify every aspect of your business including the nature of your work,the investment, practices, your taxes, ...etc

Hello

I was also invited for an interview (my interview is next week) and I also wasn't interviewed for the initial visa. I received my invitation last month while I applied for the extension in February 2016.

The only specific detail in my letter/email was that I should come with my NI card.

Not really sure how being nervous will help your case!

I sent my application in the mid of march...i sent only the documents as required in the guideline nothing extra....MY degree is from uk university....So i think it will be general interview about business......

was It mentioned in your first interview letter that you need to bring he NI with you...or the letter which you got with the location ,date and time ? After how long did you get the follow up letter ?

I just received first letter and i do not know when should i expect another letter with interview date,location etc....

Hi
We (50K & Team) also received an interview letter in same standard format as mentioned by others. We know that the interview would be separately and about us and could be about any topic i.e. business, investment, jobs, immigration history etc. People have been called for an interview in the past by single posted letter but now HO exercising different approach by sending first letter and then second letter for date, time and location.
So, has anyone experienced or experiencing about the second letter yet or not AND Roughly how many days its taking to get the second Letter of date, time and location once received the first letter.

Regards
