“That's great news, thank you! I guess I will be your first Nigerian client who doesn't get invited for a face to face interview!” This came from Obi, a Nigerian national, who switched from a Post-Study Work Visa to an Entrepreneur category. His previous application was refused, before coming to us, because he did not provide an advert for his company. Even though many applicants genuinely don’t need to advertise their businesses, such as they are already working as contractors, the Entrepreneur rules do require to produce one of the specified ways of advertising, ie because ‘it is a rule’ (rather than common business sense). In this case we used a free advert on a Gumtree website. As for the interviews, we already wrote in the earlier posts how the UKBA, or rather now UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) are inviting many applicants for a face-to-face interview in Sheffield. All our Nigerian clients before Obi were invited for one. Obi was also interviewed but what was unusu

“We have accomplished obtaining my settlement right together. Not only have you made this highly complex process very easy for us but you also have taken all the stress and anxiety away from us. I appreciate that you always replied our e mails quickly regardless of time and place you were. It was a great opportunity to have been able to ask any question anytime. You have generated different alternatives in accordance with our circumstances which were very practical as well as money saving tips. As for the application day, Russell was a great help for us in every respect. My husband and I just sat in the café and enjoyed our coffees. Russell dealt with everything which was a really huge relief. To have worked with you for my settlement application was of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you!” This came from Ms U A who applied for an ILR after 2 years in the UK on a Spouse visa. The main issue in this case was the new English requirement, which applies from 28.10.2013.

Have you applied for an Entrepreneur visa? Or switching to it from Post-Study Work where you need to already have a business? If Yes, it is very likely you will be invited for an interview. If you have not been invited yet then it is very likely you will be invited. In many cases we had, the UKBA invites for a face-to-face interview in Sheffield, although sometimes with a very short notice. In this case the applicant has a chance to prepare for the interview. However, invitation letter does not say what exactly is needed, only something standard, like ‘bring anything related to your case’. You may even be phoned by a caseworker and asked questions, effectively conducting a phone interview right at that moment. It may happen on a Saturday. Here are some examples of questions we have seen our clients asked. Please remember you may be asked different questions but you may still find it useful: “I looked at your website, you say (this) or (that) . Can you provide more informatio
