Here is an update, my wife got the ILR, Thank you all for all your help.
We went to Sheffield for the interview, they took both of us to the room and explained that they will interview us separately. My wife was talking to them through an interpreter. They asked her to go to the waiting room and they started the interview with me first, mine took about 40 minutes and it was more of a discussion while the interviewer was writing everything I said and my wife was about 1 hour with the same questions.
We were lucky as they asked me first, I was driving the discussion in the hope that they ask my wife about the extra info I provided (which I knew my wife knows) so for example I told them about the fact that she works for my company as an admin, they wrote it down and they asked her that question.
Here is some of the questions
Can you confirm all your addresses, now here I told them of all the addresses, and I told them that my wife will probably refer to the addresses by the main street it was near or the house near XX restaurant (I even wrote its name in the interviewees note). They asked me about the dates I moved in and moved out and why (for example the landlord wanted his flat back, we needed a bigger flat). They asked my wife the same question and she confirmed the addresses some with what my wife usually refers to them, she also confirmed the dates and why we moved.
They asked me if I have been on Holiday, we have not, so I told them we have not been on holiday, explaining that the reason we did not go on holiday in the past few years was because we are saving to buy a house and I told them on the status of the house purchase. My wife also confirmed this with them. We also said that we go on mini holidays here in the UK on long weekends ect. My wife confirmed that same and she also confirmed the house purchase status as well. I did tell them about two business trips I did and about my wifes trip to her country to see her family. I told them the reason I did not go was because I was working as a contractor on a daily rate and we could not afford to lose a weeks worth of work. My wife confirmed the same.
They asked me about my employment history, I told them about the companies I was working for and I told them that if they ask my wife, she will not know all the companies I worked for as I am a contractor however she will know the areas/tube stations where I was working as she used to visit me. They asked my wife the same question and she did refer to my work places by areas/tube stations
In the discussion I told them that I am self employed though my company, and my wife works for me as an admin, she takes care of my receipts, paper work and office at home. They then asked my wife about what work she does and she confirmed the same.
They separately asked us about our children and date of birth and where they were born ect.
They separately asked about my family and what my Parents do for a living, what type of business ect.
They separately asked about how we met, when I proposed, how we got married and since we had an Islamic marriage I told them about the names of our two witnesses, my wife did the same.
They separately asked about where she was living at the time and again, I gave them the name of the town and then said to them that my wife may refer to it as xxx or xyz.
They me about how she obtained her visa and how she applied in the first, I described the way we applied, embassy names and cetern names as well as how long it took, my wife said the same.
Thanks All
