Tier 1 (General) Interview Experience 2014

Post by ShareGull » Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:08 am

I have recently been interviewed at Sheffield Home Office for Tier 1(General) extension application. I want to share my experience with other users. The reason is so many of us go upset when received interview letter from Home Office. Here i want to share my experience to all Tier1-General applicants It could help them give some strength and courage to face the interview.

I got Tier1(General) 2 year status recently i had applied for its extension. Due to new rule implementation effected from 06-Sept-2013 they can call for interview, they called me at Sheffield. I got MSc, I am 38 and claiming points from job and self employment.

Interview last almost 40 min, its not memory test its to judge who you are, why you are here and are you genuine person whom we are looking for to build and contribute to our country.

Question asked:

1: What is your name
2: Your date of birth
3: Your address
4: Do you want permanent stay after the extension and reason
5: Your business name
6: Business registered with body, reason for employee and running self employment
7: client address
8: client business name, what they do, what sort of business services they provide
9: How did you get into contact, where do you place meetings
10: insurance name, how to claim if some thing been done by mistake, injuries at work and at home etc.
11: Accountant address, how much expenses you claim, hoe much you paid tax most recently, date paid, most recently job done and how much get paid, why thus accountant the reason.
12: Education history all universities, colleges addresses and subjects you completed. (i was told this is not your memory test just formally tell us so guys no need to be worried as you have attended you can tell them and you can keep documents with you if you want to tell them exact date)
13: Any professional qualification ( and i told them there must be some points for professional qualifications along side academic)
14: come to the job i mean tell me tasks you perform in your work place, duties or assignments instruction you follow

Every applicant has different situation and different background so they should prepare according to their field. But to be honest with you they are very soft, very helpful and very friendly with real person. They just want to judge whether they are issuing visa to genuine person or fake person and they really appreciate genuine person and welcome very warmly as we are contributing to this country. Its very helpful for genuine person and very hard for ....... person.

Dear members if you have to ask any question you can ask me related to interview you are welcome.

Do they ask these questions when you apply for ILR (regardless of by post or in person) as well on is it only for the ext applicants?

I have no idea about ILR but they can ask you at the time of interview if you are going on same day service. If they ask its not hard to answer.
