Hi everyone,
Sorry to trouble you but I have just been invited to a telephone interview with my Case Officer and I am worried about it.
I have applied under the Skilled Migrant Category without a job offer and while I was expecting the interview as I knew I didn't have a job offer - the emphasis of the interview questions have worried me.
Our plan has always been to apply for residency as we have 155 points without a job offer, get the visa in place and then look at getting a job starting in September / October and only leaving the Uk once employment has been secured.
However the emphasis of the interview questions the Case Officer has indicated that she will ask around seems to be about what efforts I have made to secure a job - i.e. what employers I have contacted, how many people I have sent my CV to, feedback from interviews, etc.
Does this mean that my visa will be turned down as I haven't applied for any jobs yet as the plan was to apply once we had the visa so that we could manage the move with less time constraint?
I have contacted two firms but that was through introductions I gained during a networking meeting in London rather than directly seeking a job and while both have had my CV, nothing is set in stone.
Sorry for the long post.
I hope someone can help my nerves!
Kind regards,
Rhys
