I had been issued a ticket number and requested to go first floor where payment is accepted. Keep this ticket number until your case is finalized.

After payment, I waited about 30 mins on the same floor. There was some initial document check for 10 mins at the counter and then bio-metrics were taken on the same floor . Bio-metric counters are situated extreme right on each floor. There are total three floors in Croydon office.
After an hour wait, I was called to counter 22 which is service-desk and was asked to go second floor. Waited another 2 hours and finally my number was called. The case worked has checked all my documents such as payslips, dividend letter, accountant letter and my personal bank statements. She asked me to point the same on business bank statements. so take them along with you .
