National Insurance Number Experience

Well, when Keith and I went for my interview, the interviewer doesn't know anything about the process of being an immigrant here, like the financial requirement, etc. Obviously, a lot doesn't know about how hard and difficult the process is for the genuine and legal immigrants here. The interviewer didn't even know that UKBA has a financial threshold for the British sponsors of non EEA immigrants and that nothing is needed for those with partners from EEA!

No they dont. I can clearly remember the lady who interviwed me said that they havent got clue about UKBA's rules etc after I ask the question regarding the form sent via post. All they know she said was those people who were issued visa outside the UK doesnt need any interview.

this makes sense now, I arrived on a spouse visa that is why they didnt require personal appearance and interview for when I applied for NI

Yes sars thats the difference between the two. It did enlighten me up a bit as well as my husband when I told him what the lady have said. Clears it up a bit.
