Common Immigration Officer Questions For Spouses

[AzimScot]

Hi,

Does anyone have a list of remember from memory the type of questions asked when handing over your passport?

I'd imagine what is the purpose of your visit? what is your husbands/wife's name and where does he live and what does he do/company he works for? Do you have any qualifications?

Any more please be welcome.

The questions wont be anything you can't answer if your relationship is genuine, so why worry?

and yes those are the sort of questions they would ask if you did get an interview, although they would prob be scrutinising the iformation on the application, and maybe some questions they will ask out of interest.

[AzimScot]

The reason I ask is because the person coming has never been to the UK or outside her village or had much experience of city life and will most likely seem daunted with questions and feel nervous and may lose her confidence to answer and IMO may get suspicious as she doesn't know any English we are hoping there will be a translator by there usually is I understand.

If as you say she doesn't know any English how would it help to know what they ask? The thing is there is no script.

Is she going to give random answers to questions?

[AzimScot]

there is usually a translator.

Don't worry Azim, there is always an interpreter present at the immigration counters so lack of English language knowledge won't be a problem.

Your predictions are pretty acurate. Basically they'll ask things she should know if she knows you at all such as those that you mentioned above.

well when my wife came over she was asked about were I live in my city she only knew the city but not the town also they asked the nearest bank on the main road! How can someone in this country know the nearest bank on a particular road not even I knew living here all my life! Also, my dad was asked about the name of a mosque on the main road!

Azim,

are we talking about when someone enters the UK? If so, two people who recently entered the UK were asked simple questions that anyone would be able to answer e.g. who has come to the airport to collect you, how was your flight, how do you like the weather so far...and the list could go on.
