2. What are they asking (What kind of questions)?
3. Are they concerned about the money we have?
4. Do we have to get letters from our former employers.?
5. Do we have to pay the interview fee weather we passed it or not :) ?
6. What is the normal procedure of the interview process?
7. Do they ask harder questions, such as history of America?
8. Were the family members questioned as well?
9. What do we have to wear for the interview. Do we have to go in formal?
10. In what questions do we have to be careful?

Hi

Could you enlighten me on the following ;

Say someone has good O/L but no A/L
but has subsequently earned a UK QCF Level 7 (postgraduate/masters level) diploma in Business Mgt. from a professional institute over a period of 3 years.

Will this be accepted ?

Thanks a million

That would be a gamble. Strictly speaking, the answer would be no - that candidate would not meet the minimum standard (which for Sri Lanka is 3 GCE A-level subjects, not including General English). However, there have been interviews where the candidate presented a Bachelors/Masters degree certificate and the CO did not press any further for education proof. So - on that basis the case you mention would pass. However, there have been interviews where the CO (correctly) insisted on seeing the High School (or in SL, A level) certificates.

So it is a gamble. Personally I would take that chance...

Hmmmm, this is interesting... if you read the link (with some quotes from someone at the SL embassy), it mentions A level OR bachelors as being the minimum standard. I believe that is a mistake BUT it may be how the SL embassy deal with cases - so it would be worth printing out and having available during the interview IF there is a problem...
