thanks Mahir for your reply,
I submitted all the usual personal, HMRC and Company house documents, only extra document I submitted was online advertisements (big bundle of screen shots of advertisements) plus company visiting card. I did not submit any property or services contract. all other documents are hmrc and companies house downloaded from their website and printed.

Dear All
just received a reply from HO today and they called me for the interview ! ?
odd thing is they asked me to bring my NI card along with me on the interview, i do not have any other employment other than working for my business, (only reason i can think is on NI card my name is slightly different then on my passport but it was mistakenly done by Job centre person back 2005) does any one know what kind of questions they can ask me ? or any one has been interviewed for extension application? your help will be highly appreciated

Your name is wrong on the NI paper and you did not correct the mistake ???
You will be questioned on the discrepancies in your documents obviously.

Hi Irfanmz
If nothing illegal or unethical has been done using you NI then I do not see a problem. So long as you never had any problems with HMRC then I do not see how that should be a problem.
Was bringing your NI the only request on their letter?

thanks for your reply Zimba and Nipoleon
i agree this is mistake never getting my name corrected on NI but you would think HO have access to every thing and also their record has my DOB etc details already do you think this could be the cause of concern for them ?
@Nipolean
yes it states on the letter that bring your NI with you
and i never had any problem with HMRC ever nothing is out standing
any idea what are the usual questions they are asking to extension applicants ? are they going to ask initial application question etc. business plan , source of investment ect????

In order to help you can you describe
1) are you self employed or company director (or both)
2) any idea of tax issue with any previous employment (during PSW etc)?
3. Which part of name is missing at NI?

You will be questioned on why you did not correct the mistake on your records when you knew about it. Changing the records now is going to make it look even far worse.

thanks for your reply
yes this is what I thought, I will not change it and will take it as it is with me and will also take one letter from HMRC showing my NI and full name (just in case). to be honest I have been using NI all my life with other correct details DOB etc. I do not see I am breaking any law.

I suggest you go fully prepared to the interview as they can ask you all sort of things. You could be asked about anything including your documents and evidence you submitted during your whole immigration history as well as your business plan and activities.
However I suspect that an extension interview will be mainly focused on the red flags in your background checks and extension application.

They are interviewing for extension applications? I thought they mainly focused on interviewing initial applicants.

Please read the thread to get the context of the conversation.
The rules allow HO to interview you for your extension as well as your ILR, however this does not seem to be common.

@taimoor9994, members will reply to you in public so all can benefit and learn; so no need for email.
Do not post such details.

do you have any other companies running ?
is your business running healthily ? (making profit ) should not really matter as this is not in any one's control but just want to determine the reason why they are picking people ? have you had interview on your initial application ?

some people say that those who was not interviewed first time are likely to be interviewed second time. I do not know how much correct this is ? I have slimier situation like your self tried keep all documentation as simple as possible but still I guess they have something to ask me!
