Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:36 pm
Hi All,
First of all I would like to thank this forum.I am one of those who benefited using this forum.
My ILR application at Croydon PEO was successful.
Briefly about the case:
1.Workpermit (1 3/4 years) + Tier 1 (3 1/4 years)
2.Included only spouse in the application, not my 2 children who born in the UK (will register MN1 directly. So Saved £1350)
3.Just 25 days away from the UK in the last 5 years
4.No convictions
5.Had Tier1 extension just 3 months ago
My appointment was on 17th Oct at 9 AM.
Initial Checks by an UKBA officer:
Questions asked,
1.You were on workpermit before Tier1.Do you have documents to prove your employment with them?
2.Do you have cohabitation documents to prove that your wife has been living with you in the last 2 years.
then got token from him , paid the fee on the first floor and waited to be called.They were running 1 hr behind the schedule.So I was called at 10 AM.
Case Worker:
She asked our passports and the application form,
1. Passports ( 1 x Main applicant, 1 x Dependent spouse)
2. Application Form
She did no.of checks on the system.Took nearly 15 mins.Then she asked for the documents
I submitted the following documents,
1.Last 12 months bank statements
2.Last 12 months payslips
3.Letter from the current employer
4.Letter from my first employer who I had workpermit with
5.Old workpermit document
6.P45 of all my previous employers
7.Last 3 years P60
8.LUK certificate
9.Biometric cards
10.Cohabitation documents ( bank statements(not joined), NHS Card, Our children birth certificates, other NHS letters)
She then told me that she has to check the documents and it could take upto 1 hr.If she needs anything she said she will let me know.
I waited opposite that counter.After 1 hr she called me and said your application is successful and kindly asked for photocopies if I have any.
I have had photocopies of all the above documents.she thanked and asked me to wait for another 1 hr to collect passports with ILR endorsed in it.
Documents that I had in the backup that were not asked to produce,
1. HMRC 5 years tax history letter
2. HMRC 5 years employment history letter
3. All 5 years payslips and bank statements
I thank again this forum which helped me a lot
