I am hoping that somebody who actually knows the answer may be looking in. Although opinions also welcome. |

I would suspect that all the questions are a "standard format" put together so as to includes all applicants regardless of where they originated from, I see nothing wrong in that, the alternative is to have different questions for every applicant specific to them personally |

Logically, Ann, if the interviewer had read the birth certificate properly( assuming its a normal GRO type cert with all the info,) |

Roy, that is why I asked the question hoping that somebody familiar with these interviews would know if it is a usual question. |

As said before probably all interviewers will have a set of standard questions |

Well we can't know the answer to whether all interviewees had the same question I suppose. And you may be right about the inclusive of all ethnic minorities. I just hope in that case that she made all interviewees feel as uncomfortable as she did my niece through the whole interview with her attitude. And my niece is not the sort to be 'prickly' in that situation, she is used to attitude living in London and in the past in Hampshire. |

Some interviewers can be quite combative. Also, if it is a panel interview, one of them is often given the job of winding up the interviewee. |

Thanks John. She is such a lovely gentle girl and a wonderful mother, and has had quite a traumatic childhood that has made her strong so I am sure that she will be ok. |

It could be a government head count to assertain how many from outside the UK were taking up this role, |

Yes her surname is definitely not English but her passport and birth certificate were in front of the interviewer and also this is her third interview, she has not been asked the question by the others. Wouldn't they all have the same criteria? |
