They may call anytime from private number to clarify and/or cross check the employment information from sponsor and/or employer. Mostly employees working for small businesses or new businesses or businesses with little turnover are being called. Phone must always be on as they may not call/write back again and make the decision.sg88 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 9:10 amBut have there been cases where they do ask for additional paperwork, if so, what?
Or is it just a interview over the phone to clarify?
How long do these interviews normally last?
Do they notify you in advance or do they just randomly call? And is it the same for me and my wife, would it be a random call if they called?
No one can tell that. And not everyone is being interviewed/contacted by them.
Topics merged!!!
worth reading it:sg88 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2019 7:22 pmThis is why I am confused, I have read posts where they say the applicant and sponsor are requested to attend the nearest centre and a video call interview takes place in a room. Is this for applicant or sponsor or both?
And others do not clarify as they just say interview.
No one would be called to anywhere rather maybe called through video conference call. It will be down to you both where you have such video conference call facility which could be your home, office or anywhere.sg88 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2019 7:51 pmThanks for the response, I understand couples extending Visa within UK FLR M are requested to attend interview together.
However I have applied for Appenxdix FM Partner application. First application to sponsor my wife in Pakistan, I understand IF called she will be requested to attend video interview in Lahore VFS office, but will I also have to attend interview in office in London or will my interview be a normal telephone conversation rather than video call?
Any responses would be much appreciated.

It has been 3 weeks since my partner’s biometrics appointment today and I rang my solicitor to ask why I haven’t received the email yet. She said it is nothing to worry about as not everyone receives the email. She said she has had previous clients who have not received the email either.sg88 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 12:20 pmI uploaded all our supporting documents onto VFS website uploading page. My wife attended biometrics appointment on 11th June 2019 in Lahore Pakistan and after going through a checklist and giving biometrics she was given a receipt
I have 2 questions:
1) Everything I have read on this website indicates applicant receives some sort of email to confirm home office has received file and is being reviewed. Some receive on the day, some next days, others after a few days. Today Is 7th July 2019, over 3 weeks (26 days) since submitting file and still no email. Do they always send an email, is it a must do on ther part, should I be worried? We also paid alot of extra money for priority service and from reading online seems like many people who did non priority even managed to receive quicker than we have.
2) is the priority service a big fraud, after submitted and paying extra, I have read many reviews on this website where many people who done non priority received file before those who did priority. Do they have a timeline for this as some say within 1month, some 6 weeks and others mention despite paying extra it took a very long time. Is the priority service a big scam and have I just wasted my money. How can they take longer than the time mentioned on their website if they are charging such large sums of money?
Thank you in advance for you response
How long has it been since the biometric appointment for your application?Hassan0208 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 8:36 pmI'm in same situation. I called them to confirm if they have received my all documents and biometric. No more information
I called them a few days after my partner’s biometrics to confirm whether they had received everything and they said it was too early to say. What did they say to you?Hassan0208 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 8:56 pm8 day. I called them just to confirm they have got everything.
They charge £1.37 per minute from when they take you off hold and answer the callHassan0208 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 10:07 pmI asked them I just wanted to confirm if you have received my application as I have not received any confirmation from home office. They said yes, they have got it and will contact me if any more information needed. I know they would not give me any further information so didn't ask. There is cost to talk to them. I don't know how much they will charge me, I have given them my card details.
