ILR Interview Call After Postal Application - Please Help

[kavya29]

Hi Jackk,

Thanks for the link, I will read it in a bit.

Yes, I showed both PAYE + dividends for both extn and ILR.
Yes! my HMRC records are amended and I did check it few months ago. Now that I've received this, I am going to call HMRC tomo and check again.

Like you have mentioned I am hanging on the hopes that I didn't have any tax amendments. I am now trying to gather evidences of my meeting with my client in the past. I have the signed off agreements & work sign off with me. But, I wonder if they will ask my work itself, which I don't have now (which is a software product) Also, I don't any emails from my client this is what I'm worried about now!

Yes, it's absolutely shocking to me that I have got interview request because I was so confident on my application because all my taxes are up to date.

Please go thru older posts on here about what questions they've asked and probably u might find some answers that you can relate to your situation.Communication could be of any sort. Depends on the work u've done.
when is the interview?

Hi Guys and Girls,

Just a quick update on my application:

App. submitted: 19/01/16
Biometrics: within 1 week
First Correspondence: Early October about interview
Interview: Late October:
Biometric received: Yesterday

All, I can say is that this forum has been really helpful. Also, best wishes for people awaiting their outcomes.

One thing I realized during this whole waiting period is that this is not the end of life. Whatever happens, it happens for a reason.

[shahmir]

Congrats. We're you self employed? What questions did they ask you in interview?

[mchifos2]

Thanks Shahmir!

I was both employed and self-employed throughout with no amendments.

i was generally asked questions about my 10 year history (like education, work, visas etc.).. Self employment questions were in more details. I was also asked about my current tax submission which I responded by telling that it will be submitted by 31/01/17.

[holla007]

Mchifos2 Congrats mate, thats the kind of news i want to be reading from the forum, hope ours is on the way too. You can now enjoy your stay in the uk without fears. lol

[mchifos2]

Many Thanks holla007

Wish you best of luck!

That's very good news
Long wait at least paid off in the end.

I believe you applied as T1 general on set o?
They still asked you about your 10 year history ?

[mchifos2]

Thanks Aditi!

Yes, I applied on Tier 1 Set O basis. However, in September I completed my 10 years in U.K. as well.

I also wasn't expecting them to ask much about other stuff but they went in details about everything. It was around a 70 min interview but I believe I stayed very calm throughout.

Yea I got a bit confused too about the questions relating to the 10 year thing! But thanks for answering this !
Wow 70 mins interview! Hats off !

Well nevertheless all is well that ends well.!

Happy at least one if us got out from this waiting mess and that too in a positive way!

Thanks

Hi

I just had my interview today. It lasted for like 50mins. The line of questioning was on self-employment and the rationale behind the selfemployment earning more than the employed earning. Also, the movement of funds in account. One other question that appears strange was that asking if am compelled to do anything while am in the UK.

[strada]

Hi Excellent,

The line of questions asked is similar to mine. The question about if you have done anything dodgy in the UK is a general question they ask everyone. Am starting to think their is something weird going on in the Home office, but we shall prevail in the end.

Hi Excellent,

Thanks for your input.

I hope you have share your timeline.
