Hi,

Could anyone please suggest if we can apply for ILR on SET(O) form (from Tier 1 - General Category) in Sheffield PEO?

Also would appreciate if anyone could share their experience at Sheffield PEO (specifically for ILR)...?

Why not, you can book an appointment at any PEO.

Sheffield is okay. It has a small waiting area, hence try for the earliest appointment. You have to have all your documents, it doesnt matter where you apply.

All the best.

Success is not about which PEO, it is about your application!

I am in the same situation have not really seen any current success story at sheffield for ILR and i have booked an appointment there next month.
We need some assurance as to what to expect in terms of staff friendliness. We know being succesfull is about the application not the PEO but it will help if someone will let us know how friendly or not the place is.

I went to Sheffield more than a year ago, perhaps you do not have many people here in the forum here who have visited it recently.
Staff is good and do their job efficiently and courteously. I am sure its standard everywhere. I have been to Croydon as well, more crowded but equally good in terms of service.

I dont really understand what assurance you are looking for which will help you, you need to have your documents in order and you will get a good service.

all the best
