Hello everybody,
I was interviewed yesterday at vfs for my ILR. Here are the questions I was asked :
1. General details - name, where I live etc.
2. Current job details - My designation, which company, salary, how long I'm working here for. Where I was working before, salary, how long for.
3. Day to day activities in my job, whom do I report to.
4. Asked the same job related questions for all the jobs I did during the year leading upto my ILR.
5. What qualifications have you got to do this job? My degree & software certifications & work experience.
Then they began to focus on my Ltd company earnings:
6. How do you advertise your services? Do you have a website? - I said no, I don't have website, I just post my cv on job boards.
7. Name the job boards - Reed, Cw jobs, Total Jobs, LinkedIn
8. How much do you charge your clients?
9. What documents you submitted to your accountant to get your accounts done? - I said personal & business bank stmts, my company details.
10. Didn't you submit invoices? - I said I may have, but cant remember now.
11. She asked me to send invoices to her.
12. What's accountant's name and address?
13. Why have you got less earnings in 2014?
14. Why haven't you taken dividends from your company during the years outside ilr? - I said, Yes I have taken but she asked - really? when? - I gave details.
15. Why is there a big transaction (5k) in my account, You've sent 5k to your wife? - said, sent for maintenance and savings purposes.
16. Submit 12 months payslips for the ILR year.
17. you've claimed 200 as business expenses - did you? & what was these for? I said I can't remember exactly, I can check. I may have done it for travelling to meet the client.
18. Did you have any tax amendments? No
19. What's your client's nature of business?
20. Have got any ideas to improve / expand your business?
21. Did you do 2 jobs at the same time? I asked if she is asking for ILR duration, she said yes. I then said no.
22. All the questions were based on my ILR earnings & time period. They didn't ask a single question about initial grant or extn.
23. I asked when will I possibly hear back - she said she doesn't know and it's based on the case worker.
It lasted 1.15hrs. I think I was calm & composed but that hurt my brain lol!
She kept going around the job related questions over and over but worded differently.
This forum helped me massively in prepping up - a big thanks to all of you!!
