Posted: Tue May 22, 2012 3:22 pm
ILR via Tier 1 General Category (HSMP on June 2007)
===================================
I got the appointment @ 8:00am in Croydon PEO for applying my ILR.
I have produced my appointment letter to the security guard and i was allowed into the waiting area at the same time. After security checks are done waited for a minute before reaching a counter in the ground floor. In the ground floor the lady in the counter looks like to have checked the payment details in the application & passport's + provided a token number and asked to me go and pay the application fee in the counter located in the first floor.
There wasn't a big queue for payments. I was able to pay and started waiting my token number to be called around 8:20am onwards in the first floor. After a short wait I have been called and the lady in the counter checked the application, made few entries and asked to provide the biometrics. she informed a case worker will be looking my application after biometrics is done. The waiting time for biometrics is not even 10 seconds. we were called to biometrics around 8:45 and we have completed our biometrics by 9:00am
After a short wait, my token number is again called and the lady in the counter asked me to go to the second floor. I have reached floor and been asked to provide the following documents
1) application
2) payslips for points requirements
3) bank statements showing salary credits
4) Employer letters
5) last 5 year p60's
6) cohabitation documents
+ copy's of all the documents above
I have provided the documents and I have been told to wait for 45 minutes to process the application. The time at this stage was around 9:30am.
Coffee and snacks are available in the second floor, its was a short wait and my token number was called close to 10:00am and I got the approval letter and all the originals back.
my experience with all the staff in the croydon was excellent. There is no time wasted anywhere. By the time i got out of the Lunar house and noticed its still 10:00am .. all done in 2 hours..
Background: i applied with my wife and my case is straight forward. I have worked with 2 employers and current employer is a third. I have worked paid tax all over my last 5 years and less than 90 days out of UK and no other issues.
I thanks this forum/members for all their valuable information/ support.
Thanks
