Business Plan Interview - Urgent Help

[mehulchamria]

Guys,

Can anyone help, please?

I had interview on Saturday. Everything went all ok (I think so) but one question appeared to me as Who made your Business Plan? It appears to have been copied from net. I have copied a few bits but not the whole thing as the business projection and the plan is specific to my business. Its just the research part that has a few parts copied. Some of them have been cited so that shouldn't be an issue but the rest wasn't cited. I am surprised how they found out as i submitted a hard copy. Anyways, I told him that "My research is my own work, I have used references from places to validate my research and I have cited them too. So I wouldn't say I have copied but yes I have used references to make a conclusion."

I am a bit worried thinking if the caseworker would reject my application because of this business plan issue. Any advise on this? Has anyone experienced a similar issue before? Please advise me as I am quite tensed now. I have no clue how long will they take to reply on my application. Any advise on this as well?

Kind Regards,
Mehul

Dont worry too much.
According to different case, there will be different questions
I been asked about the person who signed the contract with me.

They ask ' how do you know xxx'
I said, I know her because she is the director of the company and signed the contract with me.

well. they seems like to make some stupid question and let you be the fool

Thanks for your reply.

When did you give the interview? Have you heard back yet?

Not sure how long these people take to process after the interview. It is meant to be quick at least after an interview but it is actually delayed further more. Its a shame they take so long to process the application.

how long was the interview I have mine in Sheffield on 1st of march 14.

[mehulchamria]

Mine was roughly 40 minutes. The only thing is you have no clue how your interview went because the interviewer just writes down your answers and have no clue on your application and therefore you can't really guess if it was good and you will get your visa approved.
