No questions about previous application or tax
I suppose it varies with case to case

[quote="generaltier1"]

well, I applied on 30/08, bio 20/09 and haven't heard anything at all, no interview and no letters about new rules, no letters demanding further evidence, no calls, nothing.

maybe it's an exception of sorts, but I don't feel particularly lucky either at this point.

my guess as to the reasons is that I have a second extension based entirely on foreign earnings, and their whole interview thing is probably designed to deal with in-country earnings.

i'd much rather someone interviewed me, at least something would be happening.
