Spouse visa - sponsor interview

Post by emmyemmy » Tue Jun 23, 2015 9:10 pm

Hi everyone,
Is it common or normal for the sponsor of a settlement spouse visa application to be invited for an interview? if yes do they tell them the outcome.
Has anyone experienced this?
please help.

Nope doubt they'll invite sponsor, if they have any doubt they'll reject interviews arent common practice

Since more and more countries are now sending non-priority applications to the UK for processing there is an increase in man power so to speak, so interviews have become more common.

The interview is likely to be held to determine whether your relationship is genuine, with personal questions you would be expected to know about your fiance...birthday, details of family members, how and when you met etc.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Hi thought I would give a quick update, had my sponcer/spouse interview yesterday in London. It was actually a video call to I assume the Sheffield office where they deal with the application. It was all basic questions re the application. I really had nothing to worry about. Fingers crossed we get our decision soon.
