ILR - Set(0) After submission query..

Hi Experts and all,
Apologies if these queries were already asked.

I have submitted Set(0) application yesterday and confused about the next steps. Hope someone can clarify ?

1. Not getting booking to nearest locations. Can I book any other location other than the nearest locations provided by the system ?
2. Getting booking at library in other location. Reading other posts, it looks like the staff in the library are not aware of the process and may do some mistakes. Will it lead to refuse due to their mistakes ?
3. If I book an appointment now. Can I amend it later without paying extra ?
4. I have selected 'Yes' only for the part 1 of the consent form. Can I sign only part 1 and submit its copy ?
or Do I need to submit the unsigned copies of part 2 and 3 as well ? (I don't have joint account or third-party support so selected No for both)
5. I have 3 passports. Taken scanned copies of only 2 as used while in UK and while in other countries other than birth place. Passport 1 was never used for travelling. Can I submit the scanned copies of only 2 passports ?
I have scanned all the pages that had my details and the entry and exit visa stamped. Is that sufficient or do I need to scan blank pages as well ?

6. Do I need to submit the Document checklist ?
7. Submitting the following documents :
All Passports
LifeInUK Pass letter
Absence letter
Employer letter
Degree Certificate
NARIC letter
Signed Consent form (Part 1 only)
3 months payslips
more than 3 months bank statements
BRP

Are they enough ? Anything missing, let me know.
Thanks for your guidance.

1. Not getting booking to nearest locations. Can I book any other location other than the nearest locations provided by the system ?
Yes you can book at any UKVCAS centre
2. Getting booking at library in other location. Reading other posts, it looks like the staff in the library are not aware of the process and may do some mistakes. Will it lead to refuse due to their mistakes ?
The staff does not know about any immigration rules. You have to make sure you upload all your docs and provide everything according to the guidance and checklist. Make sure everything is done properly. Sopra staff is just there to check your documents uploaded correctly and take biometrics and submit it to HO
3. If I book an appointment now. Can I amend it later without paying extra ?
I am not sure about this. I have recently seen cases that UKVCAS appointments has a huge delay even at core centres. I would advise you too book once and not change it for your own sake
4. I have selected 'Yes' only for the part 1 of the consent form. Can I sign only part 1 and submit its copy ?
Yes, you only have to sign what applies to you
or Do I need to submit the unsigned copies of part 2 and 3 as well ? (I don't have joint account or third-party support so selected No for both)
No
5. I have 3 passports. Taken scanned copies of only 2 as used while in UK and while in other countries other than birth place. Passport 1 was never used for travelling. Can I submit the scanned copies of only 2 passports ?
I have scanned all the pages that had my details and the entry and exit visa stamped. Is that sufficient or do I need to scan blank pages as well ? Scan all pages including blank for passports covering 5 year period

6. Do I need to submit the Document checklist ?
No, that is for your own records
7. Submitting the following documents :
All Passports
LifeInUK Pass letter
Absence letter
Employer letter
Degree Certificate
NARIC letter
Signed Consent form (Part 1 only)
3 months payslips
more than 3 months bank statements
BRP

I don't know your visa category cant comment on this

Are they enough ? Anything missing, let me know.
Thanks for your guidance.

I am not aware or the T2G documents. The checklist should give you the docs plus refer to the guidance. Search this forum many members have posted their T2G documents.

Categories are not that important as long as you upload all documents in any category. If I was you I would upload LIUK in education and absence letter in Proof of Travel History category.

I have searched in the forum and also from the document checklist, these supporting documents look good to me. But I am not an expert, can someone confirm on this if there is anything missing ?

Also, I have observed from the timelines, people taking appointment at Core Service Centre getting result within 24 hours or couple of days but people taking appointment at Service Centre (Library) getting result after a week or 2. It's my observation after reading all the posts. Is that correct ?

I dont think its anything to do with a core or enhanced centre. Its just some applicants have to wait longer than others. Every case is different. 24 hours service is not a guarantee.

Urgent please - My appointment is booked on 1st May. Can someone please clarify..

Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK including country of birth ?
Before coming to UK, I was in my birth country and worked for 6 months in Australia (business trip).
So, I added my home country from DOB to entry to UK and 6 months Australia trip in between.

Now I realize it might cause a problem - Do you think I could have listed like this -
DOB until Entry to Australia.
Entry to Aus until Exit from Aus
Entry to Home Country until Entry to UK

Will it be a problem ? Do you suggest me to write a cover letter ? Thanks in advance.

Also I have received my April Payslip after submitting my application. I have already uploaded Jan, Feb & Mar payslips and bank statements to reflect the payment. Do you think I should upload April payslip too ?

It is not a major mistake. If it gives you peace of mind you can add a cover letter and print/manually correct it on the relevant page and upload it with all other docs.

Thank you very much for your prompt answer. I really appreciate that. God bless you...

Also, can I ignore my April payslip as the amount is not reflecting in the bank statements yet. Already submitted last 3 months (Jan - Mar) payslips and the same reflecting in the bank statements. Is that fine ?

I am not sure about your visa requirements. But as long you have met the requirements by submitting 3 months already that should be enough I suppose.
