Tier 1 Extension in Process & Home Office Raided

[CULLINAN]

Are you operating from a business premises or home address?

[Rafiq1981]

Business Address for the last 4 years.

Do they ask any sort of questions from your employees?

[Rafiq1981]

No- I attended interview without employees.

No- I attended interview without employees.

How did you managed that, as they came to your office? I don't mind giving interview in office but answering questions in front of employees will make it difficult for me I guess.

You don’t need to worry, if know everything according to your previous history and you need to show them what’s you doing, even in front of employees.

I don't think you need to worry if you have proper office. There are very slim chances that they will come for visit if your office exist.
I have seen total 15 cases and 12 of them were working from home.
In rafiq1981 case they didn't find his address.

I have a feeling that they are probably using google maps to check the business address of the applicants.
Keep your all document safe either in hard copy or in soft copy.
Good luck

hey momi.. thats good observation..that they are targeting ppl with home addresses. as far i remember minzy ( first to have interview in office ) vish ( 2nd office) and Sk consultancy (3rd office)....i ddid after that but as ur saying they all are home registered office address. google map could be one of the reason as well. may be they were not updated... we can only speculate.. it would be good idea if interviewer could give some more information on that.

good luck all...

Hi Momi

Did you mean people who are using their home address as the registered address? I'm wondering because I know a couple of people who have registered the business at home but trading at an office, and therefore have a trading address separate from registered address.

[Rafiq1981]

With application we have to submit history of companies house which clearly states when you changed the details in case of directorship or office address.

Dear Forum Members

Congratulations!
Good to see someone receiving the visa after HO visit. If I am correct you got interviewed on 21st Sep.

Thats great assuming they are taking 3/4 weeks to decide after the interview.

I was interviewed on 12th sep. nothing yet.

Fingers crossed.
