Eligibility Criteria |
ˆtopˆ |
|
|
A person must be able to show they are conductive to the public good and the UK economy. It is important they are also able to prove their reason for applying for the visa is valid and meets the UK immigration law requirements. In the case of HSMP or Work Permits a person must be able to prove their qualifications meet the immigration requirements. If they are relying on previous experience and/or salary to assist in their UK visas case they will have to provide documentary evidence to confirm their claims. Often due to the high number of forged documents that are easily available in the modern world, British Entry Clearance Officers will run further local checks to make sure the documents are genuine.
A person maybe required to attend an interview so the Immigration Officer can determine if the person is respectable but also to confirm any facts about the case that are unclear. These interviews can take some time and an officer is liable to ask many difficult questions. Their training and experience allows them to make decisions on a case based on their feeling about the person during the interview.
